Description:

Do you wonder whether your treatment plan is based upon fact, fiction or, perhaps, something in-between? Do you know where to get credible evidence to guide your treatment recommendations? Are you having difficulty trying to “keep up” with the abundance of scientific literature that exists today? Throw your dental journals away and discover online resources to access the most current scientific information within minutes! Learn how to integrate “real” evidence into your clinical practice to improve treatment outcomes for your patients. In this interactive course, attendees will learn what evidence-based dentistry is, why it should guide treatment decisions and how it can improve clinical outcomes. Attendees will learn how to find scientific evidence online, maintain currency with scientific literature and discuss evidence with patients. Long-standing opinions regarding clinical issues will be discussed and weighed against the scientific evidence.

Learning objectives:

Participants will be able to:

• understand the type of evidence that should guide clinical decisions and treatment recommendations.
• know where to find high quality dental evidence.
• conduct an effective and efficient search for evidence using online databases.
• communicate scientific evidence to patients.
