Which is NOT classified as "supervised personnel" according to Nevada statutes?

In the context of Nevada dentistry statutes, "supervised personnel" refers to individuals who are authorized to perform certain functions under the supervision of a licensed dentist. This classification includes various roles that assist in the delivery of dental care but may have limitations regarding their scope of practice without oversight.

Dental hygienists and dental assistants fall under the category of supervised personnel because their duties are defined and regulated by the dental board, and they must operate under the supervision of a licensed dentist. This means their practice is directly tied to the operational guidance and oversight provided by a dentist.

In contrast, dental marketing specialists do not fall under this classification as they are not involved in the clinical aspect of dental care. Their role is primarily focused on promoting dental practices and managing marketing strategies rather than directly assisting in dental procedures or patient care. Therefore, they are not considered "supervised personnel" because their functions do not require supervision from a licensed dentist under Nevada law. This distinction clarifies why dental marketing specialists are not included in the broader category of personnel that must be supervised within a dental practice.
