Dental therapy is a relatively new workforce model in which the clinician is trained to perform preventive and basic restorative dental services. This poster describes and compares the type and quantity of services provided by dentists before and after the introduction of dental therapy at Apple Tree Dental in Minnesota, a large non-profit community dental provider. Findings suggest that the introduction of dental therapists to clinical teams enhances capacity and productivity, enabling dental providers to meet increasing demand from patient populations.

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a promising agent for both the prevention and arrest of dental caries. Dental hygienists (DHs) are well positioned by training and education to provide preventive services, including application of SDF. This poster examines state-level regulations and dental board opinions related to DHs’ ability to apply SDF, including infographics illustrating state and regional variations. The significant variation in conditions for the application of SDF across states may discourage its integration into practice.
