The award is impartial and not-for-profit, and the designation is awarded after a rigorous and uncompromising selection process that takes place in February. To keep voting fair and unbiased, panel members disclose any consulting relationships in which they are involved and are not permitted to vote in that specific category. The ensuing heated debate results in a selection of products ranging from products that are part of every dental hygienist’s toolkit to emerging products that are not yet on the market. Winners are first announced to the public in early summer via a feature in HDR.
This year, a 14-year tradition is being introduced to RDH Under One Roof as the winners will be highlighted at the event in Orlando, Florida from July 21-23. Come interact with the winners and members of the jury on the exhibition floor and get a chance to treat yourself to Dr. Shuman’s famous gourmet cupcakes! Cellerant Consulting Group is also a proud sponsor of RDH Evolution and RDH Under One Roof.
On behalf of Cellerant Consulting Group and the judging panel, please join us in congratulating the official winners of the Cellerant Best of Class Hygiene Award 2022!
