Evidence-Based Dentistry : An Introduction

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.
