This standard applies to steam sterilizers that are intended for use in health care facilities and that have a volume less than or equal to 56.63 liters (2 cubic feet [ft³].

NOTE – For purposes of this standard, health care facilities refers to hospitals, nursing homes, extended-care facilities, freestanding surgical centers, clinics, and medical and dental offices. For convenience, the term hospital is sometimes used in this standard; in all instances, this term should be taken to encompass all other health care facilities.

This recommended practice provides guidelines for decontamination and dry heat sterilization procedures used in dentists' and physicians' offices, laboratories, ambulatory care clinics, and other health care facilities. These guidelines are intended to rpomote the assurance of sterility by identifying the special considerations that apply to this method of sterilization and by providing recommendations on the proper use of table-top dry heat sterilization processing equipment. this recommended practice also covers facility desin considerations, personnel considerations, work practices, and other variables that affect sterility assurance.

This specification is for thermoplastic or thermosetting polymeric materials, with or without a polymeric shell, that are capable of being formed into an athletic mouth protector, either on a model of the teeth or in the mouth directly on the teeth. It lists the types and classes of mouth protectors and lists requirements for physical properties along with tests specified for determining compliance with those requirements. It also specifies requirements for manufacturer's instructions and for packaging, labeling and marking.

This standard provides test methods and protocols to determine the corrosion behavior of all metallic materials used in restorative, prosthetic and orthodontic dentistry in the oral cavity, including cast, machined and prefabricated devices. This revision is an adoption of the ISO 10271:2001 for Dental Metallic Materials – Corrosion Test Methods.

Part 1 of ADA Standard No. 96 specifies requirements and test methods for powder/liquid acid-base dental cements intended for permanent cementation, lining and restoration. Part 1 is applicable to both hand-mixed and capsulated cements for mechanical mixing. Part 1 specifies limits for each of the properties according to whether the cement is intended for use as a luting agent, a base or liner or as a restorative material. Part 1 of this standard is not intended to address resin-modified water-based cements, which are addressed in Part 2.

ADA 96-2012 contains both Part 1 and Part 2.

This standard is for root canal instruments used mechanically to access and enlarge canals. This document specifies requirements for size, product designation, safety considerations, marking and their labeling and packaging.

This specification applies to all compressed air used in the dental office to power dental equipment and laboratory equipment and to dry oral structures. It does not apply to compressed air used to supply breathable air and should never be used to support life (e.g., Medical Compressed Air).

This standard specifies requirements and test methods for operating lights used in the dental office
and intended for illuminating the oral cavity of patients. It also contains specifications on
manufacturers' instructions for use, marking and packaging.

This standard applies to operating lights, irrespective of the technology of the light source.

This standard excludes auxiliary light sources, e.g. from dental handpieces and dental headlamps and
also operating lights which are specifically designed for use in oral surgery.

ADA 88-2019 specifies requirements and test methods for brazing filler alloys suitable for use in brazing cast dental restorations. This Standard is an adoption of ISO 9333:1990, Dental Brazing Materials.

This specification applies to reusable and disposable impression trays used in dentistry for delivering impression materials into the oral cavity for the purpose of making impressions (negative copies) of teeth and oral tissues. It applies to trays made of plastic, aluminum, stainless steel and nickel or chrome plated brass for the purposes of full arch dentulous or edentulous, partially edentulous, partial arch and water cooled impressions.
