Under this act, the DCP can act as operator after being appropriately trained, this qualification is suitable training.
To achieve this qualification, candidates had to competently take 50 assorted x-rays under the prescription and supervision of the Dentist, compile three 1,000 word detailed case studies and pass a negatively marked multiple choice examination.
