[QUOTE="awhurst011, post: 236537, member: 14988"] This is my take on the subject: CDT is Certified Dental Technician which is achieved by passing the NADL examination. RDT is Registered Dental Technician which varies from state to state and other countries. Here in South Carolina you do not need to have a CDT to run a dental laboratory but you do need to be an RDT if you would like to run a dental laboratory. Our state board of dentistry has its own examination and application process in order to become an RDT. You must work 3 years under another CDT, RDT, or Dr. have 3 letters of recommendation from licensed professionals and take the State Board of Dentistry Exam before you can become a Registered Dental Technician in the state. If you already are a CDT and want to work in this state you only have to take the jurisprudence section of the exam to register. All out of state technicians filling rx's from the state of SC must be registered in state. Once registered you only have to keep up with CE's and follow the same rules/laws everyone else does. South Carolina is 1 of 3 states that require technicians to be registered with that states board of dentistry. Hope this helps shed some light on the subject. [/QUOTE]
