/ It is a term applied to those dental laboratory
technicians who are permitted to fabricate
dentures directly for patients without a dentist's

The may be licensed or registered.
T e desire for autonomy among dental laboratory
t chnicians led to the formation of 'denturists'.

denture, the process of fabricating a denture,
from the impression onwards, is done by the
tech ·cian in direct relationship with the patient.

di pensing of dentures illegally to the public.
everal countries have allowed laboratory
chnician to work directly with the public.

~~out 298 dental institutions, prod~J/g
25,000to 30,000 BOS graduates every year.
In 2004, the dentist to population ratio was
1:30,000.
But 1th a significant geographic imbalance
am ng dental colleges, there has been a great
v iation in the dentist to population ratio in rural
a d urban areas.
t)J ~
• India (in 2004) had one dentist for 10,00~ V W
persons in urban areas and about 2.5 lakh
persons in rural areas.
Almost three- fourths of the total number of
denti ts are clustered in the urban areas, which
ho es only one-fourth of the country's
p ulation.
J is is in great contrast to the physician
pulation ratio, which was 1:2,400 in 2000 and
