Controversial dental formations raise concerns
The article discussed the warnings issued by the National Dental Board regarding the proliferation of titles and designations such as "Hygiéniste" and "Denturologue," which may be granted through unlicensed institutions. These titles might suggest that their holders possess rights to practice oral and dental health professions. The Board emphasized that the lack of clarity surrounding the legal status of these certifications and the methods used to validate them could put citizens at risk. This is particularly concerning as some certificates may be used in a way that falsely implies practicing roles overlapping with those of licensed dentists—something that is not legally authorized. The Board called on those involved in such training programs to verify the legality and official recognition of the institutions and certificates. It warned against the continued operation of a private institution in Casablanca that promotes these certifications despite a closure order, as well as against a course organized in Sidi Slimane, which the Board considers illegal—especially concerning practices that require six years of medical training at a dental college. The Board clarified that unofficial or informal naming and recognition of these certificates do not grant the right to practice health professions. It underscored the importance of properly regulating careers related to oral and dental health to ensure the protection of the public. Finally, it called for collaboration with government authorities to enforce legal compliance and to establish clear pathways for professional training within the healthcare sector.
