Denturism ... is there a future for this in the South African context

So, this field of dentistry called Denturism has hit South Africa a few years ago and it just seems as if it cannot get off the ground. Why is that?
Is it because there is not an interest from Dental Technicians to move into this career path? or is it that there is too much of a resistance from other areas within the dental field?

What is the view of the future dental technicians on this point?
Do you see a future for Denturism or Clinical Dental Technicians in our country?
What are you prepared to contribute to this cause? ... your time, your voice, your numbers????
