Washington—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration will convene a dental advisory panel Dec. 14-15 to discuss “whether FDA appropriately represented the strengths and weaknesses of the available clinical data” in issuing 2009 dental amalgam regulations.
The Council on Dental Practice has updated resource directories of dental appraisers and brokers and practice management consultants, which are available free to ADA members.
The ADA said Dec. 8 that a new Pew study on midlevel dental providers focuses too heavily on the economics of dental care and loses sight of patient oral health.
