The ADA Qualified Testing Sites program connects manufacturers of oral health care products with research sites qualified to test products’ safety and efficacy. Manufacturers applying to the ADA Seal program may choose from the ADA Qualified Testing Sites directory of vetted research sites, ensuring high-quality studies are conducted without the need for additional confirmatory testing.
ADA Qualified Testing Sites undergo a vetting process by the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs and meet the following criteria:
- Research sites are fully independent
- Necessary protocols are followed
- Sites produce accurate valid and reliable data
If the testing site meets these strict criteria, it earns Qualified status. This indicates to product manufacturers that the ADA has evaluated the site for its ability to conduct required testing in support of Seal Program applications.
Benefits of working with an ADA Qualified Testing Site include:
- Streamlines the process of finding a reliable testing site with high quality data
- Qualified Sites are dental school labs with rigorous protocols and highly competitive pricing
- No need for additional confirmatory testing
