Who in the dental office can legally cement a permanent crown or bridge?

  1. Dentist

  2. Dental Assistant

  3. RDAEF

  4. Hygienist

The correct answer is: RDAEF

While all of these roles may assist with procedures in a dental office, legally only a Registered Dental Assistant in Extended Functions (RDAEF) is allowed to cement a permanent crown or bridge. Dentists are ultimately responsible for these procedures but may delegate the task to an RDAEF under their supervision. Dental assistants and hygienists are not legally allowed to perform this task without appropriate licensure.
