About the Punjab Auqaf Organization

• Religious endowments (auqaf) across the province
• Shrines and religious sites of historical significance
• Mosques, madrasas, and welfare institutions
• Healthcare and social welfare programs for surrounding communities

As a Dental Technician cum Assistant within this organization, you'll be part of the healthcare team serving pilgrims, local residents, and staff at Auqaf-managed dental facilities — including the dental section of Data Darbar Hospital and other Auqaf healthcare centres.

Role and Responsibilities

While specific duties are assigned by the department, a Dental Technician cum Assistant role typically involves:

Dental Technology (Laboratory Work):

• Casting, trimming, and polishing dental restorations.
• Working with materials like acrylics, metals, and ceramics.
• Repairing and adjusting existing dental appliances.
• Maintaining dental laboratory equipment and inventory.

Dental Assisting (Chairside Support):

• Preparing treatment rooms and sterilizing instruments.
• Assisting dentists during patient procedures.
• Preparing dental materials (impressions, fillings, cements).

• Providing patient education on oral hygiene.

This hybrid role is ideal for dental technicians who want to broaden their clinical exposure while contributing to laboratory work.

• Duration: Two (2) years
• Place of posting: Punjab (as assigned by the department)
