title: ADA dental product evaluation: case history.
abstract: The ADA Acceptance Programs entail a rigorous evaluation of products and offer clear benefits to manufacturers, dental professionals, and consumers alike. This paper outlines the implications of the ADA product-evaluation programs for each of these three constituencies and concludes that while there may be an occasional downside from the manufacturer's standpoint, their net effect is to provide assurances that products are safe, efficacious, and promoted properly.
