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. 122Dental 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. 125Manual 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. 126Casting 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. 127Fatigue 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. 139Dental 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.
