Dental Laboratory Technology is both a science and an art. Since each dental patient's needs are different, the duties of a technician are comprehensive and diverse. Technician duties include fabricating fixed and removable prosthesis; such as, crowns, bridges, veneers, retainers, dentures and implants in accordance with the Dentist’s prescription. In some labs, the tech is responsible for oral maxillo-facial reconstruction (eyes, ears, and noses) to aid cancer patients and wounded warriors. Their role in the 5th Bomb Wing and 91st Missile Wing missions is to ensure all members are deployable and our PRP personnel are “Fit and Clear.” Essentially, they put the “Bite in the Fight” and the “Bling in the Wing!” (Photo courtesy of the Command Chief’s Office)
