[5][6] Due to the diversity in training, the scope of practice for a denturist can alternate between countries, however the general principle remains the same.

Denturist curriculum contains courses such as, General biology, Micro biology, Human anatomy, Head and Neck anatomy, Dental anatomy, Physiolosy, Dental Materials, Dental technology theory, Infection prevention and control, Radiographic interpretation, Periodontology, Histology, Embryology, Nutrition, Psychology, Pathophysiology, Oral pathology, Pharmacology, Gerontology, Ethics, Removable and Fixed prosthetics, Implantology, Removable oral appliances, Clinical & Laboratory theory, Practice management, etc.

Prospective students are encouraged to complete and earn Dental Technology Degree prior to applying Denture Specialist Program.

By acquiring Dental Technology knowledge prior to entering Denture Specialist Program would help students to follow course works with better understanding.

Work experience from denturist clinic, denture laboratory and other dental field is plus to be succeed before and after graduation.

[9] They can also work independently in their own clinic with patients providing appropriate management and treatment of dentures and other oral appliances.

Despite being made of low quality material and having short life spans, dentures were relatively popular.

Dentures that were previously made from natural teeth or porcelain were both aesthetically and functionally inferior in comparison to Ash's design.

Early in the 20th century, Dentistry shifted from treatment based therapy to prevention and as such, dentures that were in line with good health became more favourable.

[23] The 1919 Tasmanian Dental Act made a clear distinction between the role of a Dentist and the practice of denture making.

[23] The Health Amendment Act (1933) was the first legal document that gave rise to the practice of Denturism in Canada.

[24] The Dental Mechanics Act of Alberta (1961) was the future update to this legislation allowing Denturists to begin work in the field.

[26] The increasing rate of ill-fitting, misaligned, unstable and unsupportive dentures motivated three Denturists in 1956 to pursue international recognition.

[27] Rolf Pfenniger, Hannes Stiebler and Stephan Grabert formed the Internationale Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Zahnprothetiker.

[27] Denturists have campaigned for the right to practice independently in many states, with the argument that they can provide greater access and lower-cost prosthetic services.

For example, in 1991, investigators hired by the Arizona Dental Association found that only three out of the state's 13 denturists advised callers to see a dentist before visiting them.

[30] With the work of the IFD and other denturist campaigns across the globe, there is hope for clearer recognition and scope in future.

On successful completion of the selected courses, individuals are required to register with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency to practice legally as a dental prosthetist.
