Which Evidence has an Impact on Dentists' Willingness to Change Their Behavior?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
There is some literature on how to find the best evidence for clinical practice but little is known about which evidence clinicians actually seek when they look for scientific support in changing behavior. The aim of this study was to explore which evidence has an impact on dentists' willingness to change their behavior by investigating the requirements for seeking and understanding new knowledge, as well as perceived barriers or motives for doing this.A postal questionnaire was analyzed according to demographic information, access to and use of a personal computer, postgraduate education activity, knowledge about evidence...

This article focuses on dental practice-based research networks (PBRNs) as one of the solutions to the oftentimes slow and inefficient process of translating research evidence into clinical practice. This article identifies two major issues that are faced when setting up a dental practice-based research network. Using a dental practice-based research network that the author is involved with as an example, this article then discusses what is involved in undertaking a research project in your office. Also discussed are the types of projects being done in this new setting and how this author believes these studies will be one...

Implementation of Clinical Practice Guidelines in Dental SettingsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Generally, dentists in the United Kingdom were more familiar with the current expert recommendations on AP than dentists in Iran; however, dentists in both countries tended to overprescribe. This could contribute to the problem of antimicrobial resistance. Educational initiatives aimed at implementing updated recommendations and continuous assessment of dental practice might reverse this trend. (Source: The Journal of Evidence-Based Dental Practice)

This is the second of 2 articles that focus on strategies to integrate an evidence-based decision-making (EBDM) approach into your practice. The previous article provided an overview of EBDM concepts and identified strategies for finding evidence to answer clinical questions, the first 2 steps in the evidence-based process. The next steps are to determine the credibility and usefulness of the evidence and to apply the evidence to patient care. The purpose of this article is to discuss those steps by reviewing the critical appraisal criteria used to assess the methodological quality of a study. A case scenario will be used ...

The Evidence on Emerging Issues: Providing Patient Care in the Absence of EvidenceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This article addresses the application of evidence-based methods for diagnosis of dental pain. Patients in pain may seek diagnosis and treatment options through Internet sources but incomplete information and lack of context are barriers to patient understanding. Dentists face similar challenges, especially when there is no strong evidence. Diagnostic error may also be precipitated by clinician overconfidence. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of evidence and placing evidence in context are crucial skills for dentists practicing within the evidence-based paradigm.

A profession has a fundamental obligation to its members to ensure that they embrace the process of lifelong learning and continuous education.
