CDT Technologist Designation

In order to develop a strategy for the globalization of the CDT credential, CDTs who have documented proof of graduation from an ADA-accredited dental technology program and have met the following education and experience criteria would be classified as a "Technologist", which shows that they have expertise in all five specialties.  Their qualifications are to be assessed in a similar manner to the global Dental Technologist designation.  The "Technologist" designation is different from the CDT "Generalist" who has passed the required CDT examinations in all five specialties.

A.  Qualifications for articulation to the "Technologist" designation require all of the following:

1)   Be a CDT in good standing; and

2)   Proof of graduation from an ADA-accredited dental technology program (including military programs); and

3)   Within the past 15 years:

7 years practical experience; or
5 years practical experience and an Associates Degree (or higher); or
3 years practical experience and Bachelors Degree (or higher).

B. The Associates and Bachelors Degrees (or higher) can be earned in dental technology or any field from an accredited college or university.
