Abstract
The control of rival producers of health care is an integral feature of both medical and dental professionalization. This paper examines the stratagems employed by the dental profession in Britain to shape the dental division of labour. The elimination and controlled re-introduction of dental auxiliaries are discussed, together with an analysis of some of the consequences of role restriction. Finally it is argued that dental delegation may only follow further changes in the dental role.
