induced Effects on Oral Hard and Soft Tissue: 2008

This technical report covers standard practices for the assessment of laser interactions with oral

hard and soft tissue.

ANSI/ADA Standard No. 113—Periodontal Curettes, Dental Scalers and Excavators: 2008

This standard specifies the general material, performance, and dimensional requirements for

periodontal curettes, dental scalers and excavators. This standard is a modified adoption of ISO

13397-1-1995,Periodontal curettes, dental scalers and excavators – Part 1: General

requirements; and ISO 13397-2-2005,Dentistry – Periodontal curettes, dental scalers and

excavators – Part 2: Periodontal curettes of Gr-type.

ANSI/ADA Standard No. 116—Oral Rinses: 2010

This standard defines physical and chemical requirements and test methods for oral rinses. It

also specifies the accompanying information such as manufacturer's instructions for use,

marking and/or labeling requirements. This standard is not applicable to other delivery systems

(e.g. mouthsprays, foams, powders). It is not intended to describe regulatory aspects, e.g.

methods of prescription. This standard is an identical adoption of ISO 16408:2004, Dentistry –

Oral hygiene products – Oral rinses.

ANSI/ADA Standard No. 119—Manual Toothbrushes: 2008

This standard describes requirements and test methods for the physical properties of manual

toothbrushes in order to promote the safety of these products for their intended use. Also

specified is a test method for determining the resistance of the tufted portion of manual

toothbrushes to deflection. This test method is applicable to toothbrushes having a

conventional, flat trim design and may not be applicable to toothbrushes with other designs. The

results obtained with this test may not correspond to consumer perceptions of the stiffness of

toothbrush filaments. Specifically excluded from this standard are manual interdental brushes

and powered oral hygiene devices as these instruments are covered by separate standards.

This standard is a modified adoption of ISO 20126:2005, Dentistry – Manual toothbrushes –

General requirements and test methods and ISO 22254:2005, Dentistry – Manual toothbrushes

– Resistance of tufted portion to deflection.

ANSI/ADA Standard No. 120—Powered Toothbrushes: 2009

This standard defines requirements and test methods for the physical properties of powered

toothbrushes in order to promote the safety of these products for their intended use. Specifically

excluded are other types of powered oral hygiene devices (such as powered interdental

brushes) and manual toothbrushes. This standard is an identical adoption of ISO

20127:2005, Dentistry – Powered toothbrushes – General requirements and test methods.

ANSI/ADA Standard No. 122—Dental Casting and Baseplate Waxes: 2007

This standard is applicable to dental casting wax and to dental baseplate wax. It specifies the

classification of, and requirements for, dental casting wax and baseplate wax together with the

test methods to be employed to determine compliance with these requirements. This standard is

an identical adoption of ISO 15854:2005, Dentistry – Casting and baseplate waxes.

ANSI/ADA Standard No. 125—Manual Interdental Brushes: 2009

This standard specifies requirements and test methods for performance criteria for manual

interdental brushes with a round cross-section of the brush head. It also specifies the

accompanying information, such as the manufacturer's instructions for use and labelling of the

packaging. This standard is not applicable to powered interdental brushes, manual

toothbrushes, dental floss, tapes, and strings, nor is it applicable to interdental cleaners that do

not include filaments. This standard is an identical adoption of ISO 16409:2006,Dentistry – Oral

hygiene products – Manual interdental brushes.

ANSI/ADA Standard No. 126—Casting Investments and Refractory Die Materials: 2009

This standard is applicable to dental casting, brazing and refractory investments and refractory

die materials, regardless of the nature of the binding system or the particular application. This

standard classifies investments into types according to their intended use and classes according

to the burn-out procedure recommended by the manufacturer. This standard specifies

requirements for the essential physical and mechanical properties of the materials and the test

methods used to determine them. This standard also includes requirements for the information

and instructions which accompany each package. This standard is an identical adoption of ISO

15912:2006, Dentistry – Casting investments and refractory die materials.

ANSI/ADA Standard No. 127—Fatigue Testing for Endosseous Dental Implants: 2012

This standard specifies a method of fatigue testing of single post endosseous dental implants of

the transmucosal type and their premanufactured prosthetic components. It is most useful for

comparing endosseous dental implants of different designs or sizes. While this standard

simulates the functional loading of an endosseous dental implant body and its premanufactured

prosthetic components under “worst case” conditions, it is not applicable for predicting the in

vivo performance of an endosseous dental implant or prosthesis, particularly if more than one

implant is used for a prosthesis. This standard is an identical adoption of ISO 14801:2007,

Dentistry - Fatigue test for endosseous dental implants.

ANSI/ADA Standard No. 139—Dental Base Polymers: 2012

This standard is an adoption of ISO 20795-1:2008, Dentistry – Base polymers – Part 1: Denture

base polymers; and ISO 20795-2:2010, Dentistry – Base polymers – Part 2: Orthodontic base

polymers. The standard is presented in two parts: 1). Denture-base polymers; and 2).

Orthodontic-base polymers. Part 1 classifies denture base polymers and copolymers and

specifies their requirements. It also specifies the test methods to be used in determining

compliance with these requirements. It further specifies requirements with respect to packaging

and marking the products and to the instructions to be supplied for use of these materials.

Furthermore it applies to denture base polymers for which the manufacturer claims that the

material has improved impact resistance. It also specifies the respective requirement and the

test method to be used. Part 2 is applicable to orthodontic base polymers and copolymers used

in the construction of both active and passive orthodontic appliances and specifies their

requirements. It also specifies test methods to be used in determining compliance with these

requirements. It further specifies requirements with respect to packaging and marking the

products and to the instructions to be supplied for use of these materials.
