, Q1 APPLY MINNESOTA DENTAL PRACTICE ACT PROVISIONS TO COMPLEX PRACTICE
SCENARIOS
Under Minnesota Statutes § 150A.05, which factor is most critical in determining
whether a dental hygienist may perform a delegated procedure without direct
supervision?
A. The procedure's inclusion in the dental hygiene scope of practice as defined by the Board.
CORRECT
B. The patient's written consent for the procedure.
C. The dentist's physical presence in the office suite.
D. The hygienist's years of clinical experience.
RATIONALE: Minnesota law permits delegated procedures without direct supervision only if they
are within the hygienist's statutory scope and authorized by the Board. Patient consent and
experience are relevant but not determinative. Physical presence defines direct supervision, not
the authority for unsupervised practice.
Q2 ANALYZE BOARD OF DENTISTRY RULES REGARDING LICENSURE, DELEGATION, AND
DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS
A Minnesota dentist employs a certified dental assistant who has completed an
approved course. Which task may the assistant legally perform under general
supervision?
A. Administering local anesthesia.
B. Placing and carving amalgam restorations.
C. Taking radiographs. CORRECT
D. Diagnosing dental caries.
RATIONALE: Minnesota Rules 3100.8500 allows certified assistants to take radiographs under
general supervision if they have completed required training. Administering anesthesia and
diagnosing are reserved for licensed dentists or hygienists with additional certification. Placing
restorations is typically direct supervision.
