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.
