Why Bayou State Became DAMAS certified.

The requirements set forth in DAMAS are based upon the sound quality system management principles specified in ISO, but are geared specifically for the dental laboratory setting. DAMAS stands for Dental Appliance Manufacturers Audit System. The DAMAS specifications provide a clear-cut process for improving documentation in every facet of laboratory operations including, dental prescriptions/work authorizations; patient contact materials; subcontractor/supplier agreements; materials and equipment purchases; employee training; maintenance and calibration of equipment; labeling; customer complaints; and material traceability. All of this has been proven to result in better patient safety and better work produced. That's all we can strive to achieve in this industry, patient safety and great work! Here at Bayou State we will always take steps to better our laboratory and in doing so better the practices of our dentist which in turn will better the lives of patients.
