Preface
This textbook can be used as an aide-memoire for qualified dental nurses as well as for student dental nurses. The final stimulus to produce the first hugely successful edition of this book arose from the introduction by the General Dental Council of the UK (GDC) of the requirement for dental care professionals (DCPs) to register. According to the GDC, the purpose or aim of their education is to produce a caring, knowledgeable, competent and skilful DCP who is able, on qualification, to accept professional responsibility for their role in the effective and safe care of patients. In realising this aim, the GDC applies the following principles:

That those qualifying as DCPs should be required to attain the highest standards in terms of knowledge and understanding, skills (including clinical and laboratory skills), and professional attributes, in particular recognition of their obligation to practise in the best interests of patients at all times.
That DCP students should be provided with the high-quality learning opportunities and experiences necessary to enable them to achieve those standards, including the opportunity, where appropriate, to undertake clinical and laboratory procedures, and acquire competence across a range of skills.
That learning opportunities and experiences should be underpinned by adequate and appropriate support, including educational, clinical and laboratory support.
That learning opportunities and experiences in biomedical sciences, clinical and laboratory subjects should be integrated over the course of the programme.
That learning opportunities and experiences should be designed to encourage a questioning, scientific and self-critical approach to the practice of dentistry, and to foster the intellectual skills required for future personal and professional development.
That learning opportunities and experiences should enable students to develop an understanding of audit and clinical governance.
That learning opportunities and experiences should enable students of the professions complementary to dentistry to work and train as part of the dental team.
That learning opportunities and experiences should prepare students adequately for the transition to their work role in relation to the practice of dentistry.
That student progress is effectively monitored to ensure that only those who comply with relevant health and conduct requirements are allowed to complete the programme.
The aims of this second edition have been to update the text to comply with the above and with the new National Examining Board for Dental Nurses (NEBDN) National Diploma in Dental Nursing Curriculum (March 2012), and to enhance further the material - both text and illustrations - and user-friendliness. Additions include coverage of the new NEBDN curriculum; the new GDC Standards for the Dental Team; new GDC advice on social media; the new Equality Act; and aspects of anatomy, charting, drug allergy, minority groups, fire safety, security and vulnerable groups. In our task we have been impressed with the scope of the
