Your ADA membership gives you full access to the digital Therapeutic Guidelines Version 4, including Oral and Dental Guidelines.
Note
Paying members of the ADA will receive their physical copy of the Therapeutic Guidelines with the June 2026 issue of the News Bulletin, the ADA's member magazine. For those who have opted not to receive the printed version of the News Bulletin, the Guidelines will ship by itself to your nominated address.
Buy print copy of TG4
ADA fee-paying members will receive one complimentary copy as part of their membership benefits.
Additional copies are available for purchase for:
- Non-fee-paying members who wish to purchase a copy (e.g., students)
- Fee-paying members who would like additional copies for their practice, colleagues or team
Please note STOCK IS LIMITED. This is the last time Therapeutic Guidelines will support a print edition.
The Therapeutic Guidelines has been a digital product for 9 years now, and Dentistry is the only profession still using a print book. The book becomes out of date the day it is typeset. As scientific evidence-based guidelines, their greatest value is being kept up to date.
