QTP4Y0X1-3 contains modules on four-handed dentistry, basic preparation and setup, dental materials, clinical procedures, and dental laboratory procedures. It requires use of performance checklists for training, evaluation, certification, and recertification.
Trainees, trainers, supervisors, and task certifiers must use all QTPs to conduct upgrade training. (paragraph 1)
Once you begin upgrade training, you are required to use the QTPs. (paragraph 2)
When you are satisfied the trainee meets standards, as prescribed in the QTP performance checklist, you must document each task completion in the QTP tab. (paragraph 2)
Your local steps in performance may vary from the method listed in the QTP module. If this is the case, you may make changes to the first half of each module, (i.e. steps in task performance); however, the “performance checklist” is considered a standard and cannot be altered. (paragraph 3)
The trainee must use infection control practices and follow all safety precautions at all times. (paragraph 2)
