In the State of Maine the CDA is authorized to perform other duties that cannot be delegated to the dental assistant such as place emergency temporary fillings, and remove excess cement from the supragingival surfaces of teeth. Additionally, the CDA is the only dental assistant qualified to pursue the EFDA credential in the State of Maine.
