The National Board for Certification in Dental Laboratory Technology annually recognizes an individual Certified Dental Technician (CDT) who has made contributions to his/her peers and the dental laboratory profession and has gone above and beyond the call of duty. CDTs, Active Retired CDTs (RETs), Permanently Retired CDTs, or Recognized Graduates (RGs) are invited to nominate an active CDT they believe deserves to be recognized by their colleagues.

Nominees will be notified and asked to complete the Nomination Supporting Information form and submit a brief biography and listing of their accomplishments for the Awards Committee to review. The CDT of the Year will be selected by the NBC Awards Committee and invited to the NADL Vision 21 meeting in Las Vegas, NV in January (registration will be complimentary), where they will be presented with their award.

Any CDTs, Active Retired CDTs (RETs), Permanently Retired CDTs, or Recognized Graduates (RGs) in good standing may submit a nomination. Active CDTs may nominate themselves.

Any Active CDTs, Active Retired CDTs (RETs), Permanently Retired CDTs, or Recognized Graduates (RGs) in good standing may submit a nomination. If the person submitting a nomination chooses, they may submit a formal letter of recommendation to the Awards Committee on behalf of the person nominated. Individuals may nominate themselves, and multiple nominations can be made.
