1. “(a) A legally licensed and registered dentist may delegate to competent auxiliary personnel those procedures for which the dentist exercises direct supervision and full responsibility, except as follows: (1) Those procedures which require professional judgment and skill such as diagnosis and treatment planning and the cutting of hard or soft tissues, or both, or any intra-oral procedure which would lead to the fabrication of an appliance which when worn by the patient, would come in direct contact with hard or soft tissue and which could result in tissue irritation or injury. (2) Those procedures allocated by the Act to registered dental hygienists. (b) Direct supervision shall be interpreted to mean that the dentist must see the patient, assign the work, and check its progress and completion. (Emphasis added.)”
