Background Review
Searching is one part of the evidence based
decision making (EBDM) process used to
answer clinical questions
Searching is part of the second step in the
process- finding the best available
evidence to answer the question

EBP According to the ADA
“An approach to oral health care that
requires the judicious integration of
systematic assessments of clinically
relevant scientific evidence, relating to the
patient's oral and medical condition and
history, with the dentist's clinical expertise
and the patient's treatment needs and
preferences.”

What Does That Mean?
Decision
Patient’s preference
Best available evidence
Practitioner’s clinical
expertise

EBP According to NYUCD
Our graduates must be able to ascertain the
appropriate questions that they as clinicians
need to answer in order to care for their
patients; identify appropriate sources of
information to answer these questions;
assess the validity of the information
obtained; and utilize the information in the
care of their patients. We call this process
“Evidence-based Practice.”

Why Bother?
Provide the best
possible treatment Based on the best evidence
Objective & unbiased
Systematic search and
appraisal
Acceptable level of
uncertainty
NYUCD
Strategic Plan Develop men and
women of science
That is, sophisticated
consumers of research
able to appropriately
treat patients

Before EBP?
Who needs evidence? “It works in my hands”
Going to the literature and finding an article that
supports the position or treatment choice that you
think is the best
Random search (Google), limited appraisal
Subjective & potentially biased (intentional or
unintentional
Inappropriate level of certainty

The Five “A”s of EBP
Ask – Determine the clinical question
Acquire – Systematically search the literature
Appraise – Critically appraise the literature
Apply – Make a decision
Assess – Evaluate the results

Clinical Question
In adult human patients, is chairside tooth
whitening more effective than at-home tooth
whitening in producing lighter teeth?

Why Systematic Reviews?
Synthesizes results from multiple trials (studies)
addressing the same question
Provides a clear summary of the current best
evidence on a specific topic
Uses rigorous scientific methods to review
original research in order to minimize bias
Provides a way of managing large quantities of
information and keeping current with new
research
When possible, allows statistical combination of
data for a single estimate of effect- Meta Analysis
