Abstract. After 1991, the organization of dental care in Bulgaria is characterized by the introduction of the private sector in the provision of health care. The activity of a dental technician restoring defects of dental rows is aimed at the production of services for the provision of health care through self-made medical devices. The professional development of the dental team is achieved and maintained through continuing, postgraduate education. The development of practice is based on professional qualification, modern equipment and the correct organization of material and human resources. The purpose of this article is to create a model for the development of the activity in the Dental Technician specialty, which will benefit practice. To achieve the goal, literary sources were studied and the author’s own experience (over 40 years of experience in the specialty) was used. The success of the activity is determined by the knowledge and compliance with the regulatory documents for the implementation of the activity, the professional skills of the dental technician, maintained and upgraded over the years through postgraduate education, the management skills possessed, the care for the professional growth of the hired workers, if any, and the skills for effective communication.
