This introduction to Evidence-Based Dentistry provides a
much-needed orientation in the subject for students and
professionals alike. It is a ground-level book for those seeking to
understand evidence-based dentistry and its significance for
clinical practice. The book is anchored in the dental literature:
the majority of the chapters offer guidance on interpreting a full
published paper; where both the subject of the paper and the study
design is of relevance to the field of dentistry.
Each chapter is organised in a similar way, providing a
structured approach to reading and understanding research articles
or commercial product information. In this respect, Evidence-Based
Dentistry is designed as an introduction to understanding published
research and its implications for the dental surgery; rather than
as a guide on undertaking research.
- Incorporates topical published papers in order to rpovide worked examples
- Explains the most6 common forms of research used in dentistry
- Unlocks basic statistical and epidemiological concepts, along with key terms
- Enables the reader to identify the research question, assess aspects of study design, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of papers and understand their clinical relevance
- Tables, boxes and figures are used extensively to present core information. Useful templates are also provided, which readers may use/adapt for analysis, including study clubs.
