ADA Seal of Acceptance: Product Guidelines

Overview

In evaluating products for the ADA Seal of Acceptance, the Council on Scientific Affairs determines whether the product complies with its Guidelines for Participation in the ADA's Seal of Acceptance Program and the applicable ADA Acceptance Program Product Guideline listed below. These guidelines describe the clinical, biological, and laboratory studies necessary to evaluate safety and effectiveness. They are subject to revision and may be updated at any time.
