With a barrage of emerging technologies in the dental marketplace, clinicians seek expert advice to guide them toward the most innovative, impactful products that can provide significant benefits for their practices, their teams, and their patients. For the past 9 years, the prestigious Cellerant “Best of Class” Technology Awards have been doing just that — distinguishing outstanding products and services from the competition and establishing true leaders in their categories.

The awards have received acclaim for their integrity and have been recognized by every major dental journal in North America and the American Dental Association. The winners are decided by the Best of Class Advisory Board, comprised of respected experts in dental technology, Paul Feuerstein, DMD; John Flucke, DDS; Marty Jablow, DMD; Parag Kachalia, DDS; and creator and founder of the award, and president of Cellerant Consulting Group, Lou Shuman, DMD, CAGS. Each year, at the Chicago Dental Society’s Midwinter Meeting, the board convenes to review innumerable hours of research they have compiled regarding practice-changing technologies over the past year. The rigorous process is unbiased and non-profit. If a technology is not considered exemplary, then no winner is chosen for that category. Any panelist with a consulting relationship with a company is exempt from voting in that specific category.

The Cellerant “Best of Class” Technology Awards provide dentists with a “go-to list” of products that they can trust as remarkable and critical components of their technology-forward dental practice. Orthodontic Practice US is excited to showcase these winners and shine a spotlight on the best and the brightest in dental technologies.
