The Dentists Register comprises of two divisions, namely:

  • Division I dentists who are graduate dentists; and

  • Division II dentists who were formerly dental therapists and grand-parented as dentists in the 1950s.

The dental register is divided into a Full Registration, Conditional Registration and Temporary Registration. This division will allow for restrictions on the practice of dentistry in respect of each sub-register to be drawn up, proportionate to the qualifications and experience of the dentist in that sub-register, in the interest of safeguarding dental standards and public safety.
