We track — but do not advocate user interests — in the American Dental Association standards catalog. There are hundreds of dental schools worldwide but we have placed best practice discovery in this domain as a middle to lower priority. Pandemic shock on dental education and the community clinical delivery enterprises may change that but the ADA bibliography is quite solid. There are other economic spaces where education community costs are too high.
That much said, the domain of dentistry, like most other economic spaces, is being transformed by informatics and artificial intelligence. That is reflected on its standards setting landing page:
“Dental standards ensure that everyone is on the same page—those who design and manufacture dental products and the dentists who use them. Through comprehensive analysis, the ADA establishes baseline standards and technical recommendations for almost every tool of modern dentistry, from radiographic systems to sealants to manual toothbrushes.”
Note that the ADA, like all ANSI-accredited standards setting organizations, also seeks volunteer experts for its standards setting committees.
ADA standards committees seek volunteers for new projects
The ADA is the ISO/TC 106 US Technical Advisory Group Administrator for ANSI.
The ADA hosts its annual SmileCON meeting in Las Vegas October 11-13. Annual meetings usually include standards development committee meetings where decisions are made about moving the ADA bibliography along. Dental Informatics will be a focus topic.
