Evidence-Based Dentistry: Two Decades and Beyond

Response to Letter From Drs Rossi-Fedele and Do ğramacI
As indicated in my commentary on the published systematic review (SR) entitled “Malocclusion in young children. Does breast-feeding really reduce the risk? A systematic review and meta-analysis,” I am strongly supportive of it, and I made that clear in several sections. It is a nicely executed SR that properly sets up what we know about this area, and how much more we need to investigate it. (Source: The Journal of Evidence-Based Dental Practice)
