The Dental Technologists Association (DTA) is the professional body representing dental technicians in the United Kingdom.
History
The association began as the Dental Technicians Education and Training Advisory Board (DTETAB) and was established by the General Dental Council (GDC). The remit of DTETAB was to review and make recommendations about the education and training of dental technicians, the suitability of that training ,and how it would fit with the demands of providing dental services. The other main role of DTETAB was maintaining a Voluntary Register of Dental Technicians, which served as the precursor to the GDC statutory register. The inaugural meeting of the Board took place in January 1986 and was chaired by Margaret Seward (later Dame Margaret Seward). The GDC was only actively involved for the first three years and DTETAB became an independent professional body in 1989 with Colin Lee, a dental technician and laboratory owner from North West England, as chairman. Ray Cox served as registrar from 1989 - 1992 and was succeeded by Sue Adams who was in post from 1992 - 2019. Appointed in January 2019, Rebecca Kinahan now manages the Associations' Office.
Anticipating a slightly different role post statutory registration, DTETAB became the Dental Technicians Association in 2002. The final name change came in 2012 when the association became the Dental Technologists Association.
