Dental Practice-Based Research Networks - Purpose
Answer questions facing general dental practitioners in the routine care of their patients
Strengthen knowledge base for making clinical decisions
• Observational studies
• Clinical trials
• Establish/use a flexible, adaptable electronic network/platform
for connectivity, data sharing, & communication within and
between dental and medical networks

Dental Practice-Based Research Networks-Objectives Stimulate research proposals from practicing dentists and
dental hygienists (i.e., practitioner-investigators)
Primary objectives: • Conduct 16-22 short-term clinical studies over 7 years
• Emphasis on effectiveness of oral health treatment & disease prevention
• Clear & clinically meaningful outcomes
Secondary objective: Provide data on disease and treatment trends and obtain estimates of the prevalence of less common conditions

Dental Practice-Based Research Networks-Outcomes Draw on experience & insight of practitioners to
help identify and frame questions
Establishes partnership between practitioners and experienced researchers
Rapid translation of findings into clinical practice
May reduce costs for certain types of studies when compare with traditional research models

Dental Practice-Based Research Networks-Goals Year One At least 100 dental practices per Dental
PBRN will be recruited to participate during the first year of operations.
Each PBRN will involve large numbers of practitioner-investigators in at least two population centers.
![Page 7: NIDCR - Sponsored Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRN)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55622376d8b42ac6588b4ccb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Dental Practice-Based Research Networks-Present Status Presently over 600 dental practices
participating after 3 years
Each PBRN involves large numbers of practitioner-investigators in at four population centers.
