Advance Best Practices in Dental Technology

CADTR works collaboratively in response to changes in dental technology practise and regulation. We aim to enhance public accountability, develop and promote a national strategy for consistent regulatory practices and create a partnership model of action.

Support Internationally Educated Professionals

We’re the central point of contact for internationally educated professionals who want to become licensed and practise dental technology in Canada. We provide information about coming to Canada, guidance in getting registered with a dental technology regulator (DTR) and tools to help you get started in your home country.

Provide Credentialing and Assessment Services

On behalf of our members, we evaluate the education and qualifications of applicants educated in Canada and abroad in dental technology and other dental health programs. We also set and administer the Dental Technology Entry-to-Practise Assessment (DTETPA) to determine a candidate’s readiness for safe, effective and independent dental technology practise.
