The Cellerant "Best of Class" Technology Award has been acknowledged as the most prestigious and coveted award that a dental manufacturer can receive. The selection process is rigorous, unbiased, nonprofit, and transparent. The companies below underwent intense scrutiny for the products they put forth as the best in their class. Please join with us in congratulating them for their accomplishment.
The Best of Class Awards, also known as “dentistry’s Oscars,” give the industry a chance to see who is leading the pack in technology. The Best of Class panel recognizes both well-known technologies and those nascent technologies that are only just entering the market.
In 2017, there are eight repeat winners and 12 new recipients, five of which have received the designation as “Emerging."
“This year’s Best of Class winners represent a great balance between multi-year winners that continue to push the envelope in their respective categories and total newcomers,” says Dr. Marty Jablow, Best of Class panel member.
