# Dental Auxiliaries Regulations 1986, Regulation 7


(1) Subject to the provisions of these regulations, the Council may approve courses of instruction held by any of the dental authorities or by such other bodies as the Council may think fit for the purpose of training persons to become members of a class of dental auxiliaries established by these regulations, and the arrangements for such training:
Provided that the Council shall not approve arrangements under this paragraph unless they are satisfied that the arrangements do not materially impair the facilities for the training of dental students.
(2) The Council may approve examinations held by any of the dental authorities or by such other bodies as the Council may think fit for the purpose of testing the fitness of persons to become members of a class of dental auxiliaries as aforesaid, and the arrangements for such examinations.
(3) Subject to the provisions of the next following paragraph, a certificate granted by a dental authority or other body providing approved examinations for a particular class of dental auxiliaries, which purports to attest the fitness of the person to whom it is granted to practise dentistry to the extent permitted by the regulations for that class, shall be a certificate conferring the right subject to the provisions of regulation 3(1) to the inclusion of the name of the person to whom it is granted in the appropriate roll of the class of dental auxiliaries specified in the certificate.
(4) Where in accordance with the provisions of this regulation the Council have approved training or examination arrangements made by a dental authority or other body and it subsequently appears to the Council that the arrangements are materially impairing the facilities for the training of dental students or that courses of instruction or examinations held under the arrangements are defective, the Council may withdraw their approval from the arrangements or from the courses of instruction or from the examinations (as the case may be) and a certificate granted by the dental authority or other body concerned after the date on which approval was withdrawn shall not be a certificate for the purposes of the last foregoing paragraph.
