Spring 2008
Summary and Justification for Proposal:
The American Dental Education Association in cooperation with the National Association of Dental
Laboratories suggests that formal educational institutions offer one-year programs for entry-level technicians
in order to meet the public’s oral health care needs.
Creating this program will provide Kentucky with both a Certificate Program in Dental Technology as well
as the existing Associate Degree Program in Dental Laboratory Technology. The certificate program will
provide an additional exit point for students to enter the job market as entry-level technicians
Additional funds will not be needed to add a Certificate Program as the existing facilities, budget and faculty
of the Associate Degree Program at the Bluegrass Community and Technical College will be used.
The AAS program is also being revised to conform to KCTCS general education requirements.

Program Description:
Present:
This program prepares individuals to fabricate dental prosthetic appliances that replace or repair natural teeth
to help patients eat, chew, talk, and smile as well or better than they did before. Dental technicians work
collaboratively with dentists by following a written work authorization that details the type of prosthesis
needed. Dental technicians do not have direct contact with the patient but instead use stone models made
from impressions of the patient's teeth and surrounding soft tissues.
The curriculum includes courses in general education and in dental laboratory technology as required by the
Commission on Dental Accreditation. Students enrolled in the Dental Laboratory Technology Program must
achieve a GPA of 2.0 in the Dental Laboratory Technology program. Upon completion, graduates are eligible
to take the National Board for Certification Recognized Graduate Examination and the Certified Dental
Technician exam.
The dental laboratory technician has many employment options including commercial dental laboratories,
dental offices that have their own laboratories, dental sales and manufacturing firms. Graduates may also
choose to own a laboratory, state laws permitting, or seek a teaching position at a dental technology
education program. Please see the guidelines for the selective admission requirements to the Dental
Laboratory Technology Program, page 64.

experiences to enhance the students’ learning.
The dental laboratory technician has many employment options including commercial dental laboratories,
dental offices that have their own laboratories, dental sales and manufacturing firms. Graduates may also
choose to own a laboratory, state laws permitting, or seek a teaching position at a dental technology
education program.
Dental Laboratory Technology students completing the first year of the curriculum will earn a Certificate in
Dental Laboratory Technology which prepares students for employment as entry-level dental technicians.
Dental Laboratory Technology students completing two years of the curriculum will earn an Associate
Degree in Applied Science which will prepare graduates for employment as technicians and graduates are
eligible to take the National Board for Certification Recognized Graduate Examination and the Certified
Dental Technician exam.
Applicants are accepted into the Program each fall according to the Guidelines for Admission to the Dental
Laboratory Technology Program. This is a selective admissions process with approximately twenty students
accepted each year. Students must maintain technical standards and a minimum GPA of at least a 2.0 (on a
4.0 scale) in the curriculum in order to progress from one semester to the next.
The Dental Laboratory Technology program is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the
American Dental Association.

Program Competency Assessment Instrument:
National Board for Certification Recognized Graduate Examination and the Certified Dental Technician exam.
Certificate:
1. Employer Satisfaction Survey. The performance standard for achievement would be that at least 80%
of the employers indicate that graduates are academically prepared for employment.
2. Graduate Survey. The performance standard for achievement would be that at least 85% of the
graduates indicate that they are satisfied with the quality of their education.
