Course Description: Did you know that less than 10% of dental treatment is based upon scientific evidence? Do you feel overwhelmed in keeping up-to-date with scientific literature? How do you integrate science into your clinical practice? The dental profession has begun a paradigm shift from patient care based upon traditions and opinions towards care based upon the best available evidence. In this course, participants will learn what evidence-based dentistry is and how it can guide treatment decisions and improve clinical outcomes. Participants will learn how to find scientific evidence on-line, maintain currency with scientific literature and discuss evidence with patients. Long-standing opinions regarding implant placement, third molar extractions, dental crowding, and sealants will be weighed against the scientific evidence on these topics.
