[QUOTE="Tom Moore, post: 70938, member: 1247"] In Texas I had to work very hard with the lab in China to have a CDT or record for that lab so I could sell here. We now have three CDT's in that lab on a rotation and all the owners are CDT's. There are only three other labs in China that I know of that have done this in Texas. The TSBDE is working to find those that are not sending to a Texas registered lab. In the end it is the dentist responsibility to show do diligence and use only a Texas registered lab and when this starts coming back to them it will make a big difference. If this had been done on a Federal level and there was enforcement the entry into our domestic market would have come with a price many offshore lab would not have been willing to pay. Those that did would have more costs and the price would be higher making it easier for domestic labs to compete. The lab industry in China is working on a credential that will equal the CDT and will IMO eventually reach a reciprocation agreement with the NADL/CDT program. The domestic industry is again being caught with their proverbial pants down. I catch a lot hell because of my involvement with importing because the people doing it just don't want to admit or come to grips that they and their attitude about schooling and credentialing deserve much of the blame for cheap imports.
