Currently, the provision of dental care is carried out using high-tech equipment, tools, devices and materials that require a special level of training and knowledge. The coherence of interaction between a dentist and a nurse, who at the present stage in the treatment process becomes a doctor’s assistant, is a recognized necessity. The importance of the role of a dental assistant is increasing every year, and his activities are becoming increasingly diverse and affect many aspects of the diagnostic and treatment process. There are a lot of dental clinics and every dentist prefers to work with a personal assistant. Difficulty arises because there are not so many assistants on the labor market. This situation forces clinic managers to think about the real need for each doctor to provide an assistant and return to the standard requirement for nurses in accordance with the nomenclature.
