Study Notes
Evidence-Based Dentistry (EBD)
- The first step in the process of EBD is to formulate a clear and concise clinical question, often using the PICO framework (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome).
Critical Appraisal in Evidence-Based Practice
- Critical appraisal plays a crucial role in evidence-based practice as it involves systematically evaluating the quality and validity of research evidence to inform clinical decision-making.
Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT’s) and Systematic Reviews (SR)
- The basic elements of RCTs include:
- Randomization of participants into treatment or control groups
- Intervention or treatment being tested
- Outcome measures or endpoints
- Control group or standard treatment
- The basic elements of SRs include:
- Comprehensive literature search
- Critical appraisal of included studies
- Quantitative synthesis of results (meta-analysis)
Final Step in EBD
- The final step in the process of EBD is to apply the results of the critical appraisal and synthesis of evidence to inform clinical decision-making and patient care.
Recommended Treatment for Impacted Mandibular Wisdom Teeth
- After extracting an impacted mandibular wisdom tooth, the recommended treatment typically involves ensuring proper wound closure, managing post-operative pain and swelling, and prophylactic antibiotics to prevent dry socket and infection.
