    Area of Science:

    • Dental Hygiene
    • Professional Regulation
    • Higher Education

    Background:

    • The pursuit of self-regulation in dental hygiene is hindered by conceptual misunderstandings.
    • These discrepancies often lead to confusion with independent practice and scope of practice issues, obscuring the goal of professional status.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify common misconceptions about self-regulation among dental hygiene and dentistry students.
    • To explore student understanding of key issues related to dental hygiene self-regulation.

    Main Methods:

    • A literature review identified 11 recurrent points of confusion regarding dental hygiene self-regulation.
    • A true/false survey was developed based on these points and distributed to Canadian dental hygiene and dentistry students.

    Main Results:

    • Results revealed a widespread lack of understanding of self-regulation among surveyed students.
    • Specific areas of confusion included independent practice, caries diagnosis, scope expansion, and the dental team concept.

    Conclusions:

    • Educational systems should integrate insights into the political and governance aspects of professional fields.
    • Increased awareness of governance issues can empower students to make informed decisions about their profession's future.
