A Dental Laboratory Assistant is a member of the dental team whose skills include the design and construction of dental appliances including dental models, registration rims for denture construction, impression trays, mouth guards and some other thermoformed appliances. Under the supervision of a Dental Technician, they work from a written prescription from the Dental Prosthetist, Dentist or Specialist Dentist. The Dental Laboratory Assistant translates two-dimensional design diagrams and written instructions into three-dimensional products according to accepted biological and mechanical principles.
