Provisional Dental Assistant Certificate Registration
To legally practise in Manitoba, all registered dental assistants must complete a registration and certification process to become members of the MDA.
Provisional registration is only available to recent graduates of accredited dental assisting training programmes in Manitoba that are registered to perform the National Dental Assisting Examining Board (NDAEB) written examination. It allows for employment in supervised practice while the recent graduate is waiting to perform the exam. Individuals licensed in this category have a maximum of nine months from their graduation date to successfully complete the exam and receive a NDAEB certificate. An individual will be removed from the MDA registry if they do not receive an NDAEB certificate within the nine months. On receiving the NDAEB certificate, a provisionally licensed member must apply for full registration by completing and submitting the Dental Assistant Change of Status Application Form.
