28 Evidenced Based Den8stry For Everyday Prac8ce A f!ndation to build on

29 What is EVIDENCE- BASED DENTISTRY? According to the ADA Evidence- based den8stry (EBD) is an approach to oral health care that requires the judicious integra%on of systema%c assessments of clinically relevant scien%fic evidence, rela8ng to the pa8ent s oral and medical condi8on and history, with the den8st s clinical exper%se and the pa%ent s treatment needs and preferences.

56 An Introduc%on to the Na%onal Dental PBRN

57 Are PBRN s New? mainly a development in the past decades as a network of health care providers whose purpose is to evaluate the health care that occurs in real world prac8ces at least 40 PBRNs in the U.S., some in Europe a broad range of prac88oner types: family medicine internal medicine gastroenterology pediatrics nurse prac88oners ophthamology obstetrics and gynecology emergency medicine

58 PBRN are new in dentistry NIDCR (Na8onal Ins8tute of Dental Cranial Research) funded the Dental PBRN for a 7- year period beginning April groups selected UAB/UF DPBRN, NYU(PEARL) and Univ. of Washington (PRECEDENT) Total of $75 million

87 Quick Links Plans for a Cracked Tooth Registry Studyinterested? National Dental PBRN News National Dental PBRN Web Site Because cracked teeth represent such a frequent concern to most dentists we anticipate launching a Cracked Tooth Registry study in the coming months. The overall goal is to identify factors that predict adverse outcomes in cracked teeth. The final protocol has not been approved yet; preliminary information is below. Overall study design: This will be a four-year observational study of 3,000 cracked teeth nationally. Patients must be at least 19 years old and have a posterior permanent natural tooth with a crack. You will record an assessment of the patient, tooth, and crack(s) at baseline, and then once each year for four years. If you do any treatment on that tooth, you will also record that information. We anticipate that both practitioners and patients will receive some compensation for the time spent doing the study. 34

98 Repair or Replacement of Defec8ve Restora8ons U.S. National Institutes of Health grants DE-16746, DE and DE

99 Background 50% of all restora8ons placed in general dental prac8ce are replacement of restora8ons. The removal of the exis8ng restora8on will significantly remove sound tooth structure resul8ng in subsequently larger dental restora8ons. Repair provides the opportunity for minimally invasive treatment. 44

100 Background 50% of all restora8ons placed in general dental prac8ce are replacement of restora8ons. The removal of the exis8ng restora8on will significantly remove sound tooth structure resul8ng in subsequently larger dental restora8ons. Repair provides the opportunity for minimally invasive treatment. 44

101 Study Procedures and Methods This cross-sectional study used a consecutive patient/restoration recruitment design. A total of 197 network dentists/practices were enrolled in this study Total of 5,452 patients and 9,484 restorations DPBRN Project Regional Center staff met with each dentist and their staff for training of the protocol for this study. The mean number of patients recruited per practice was 28. Patients often had multiple defective restorations with the median number of restorations per practice at 50.

102 Methods Data collec8on form asked about pa8ent demographics and clinical details of the restora8on replacement including about original and new materials, tooth number, and the surfaces involved main reason for the visit. It was completed during the treatment visit. Reprinted with permission

107 Den8sts characteris8cs associated with the decision to repair: 51

108 Pa8ents Characteris8cs Patients AGE influenced the decision to repair The older the patient, the higher the chance of the restoration being repaired. Other patients characteristics such as patients race, gender, and having private dental insurance were NOT associated with a likelihood of repair. 52

109 Restora8on characteris8cs associated with repair: A restoration in a MOLAR was more likely to be repaired than in a premolar or an anterior tooth Teeth with a SINGLE restored surface than teeth with multiple restored surfaces Restorations that had received a pre-diagnosis of SECONDARY CARIES than those with any other pre diagnosis DIRECT TOOTH COLORED MATERIAL was twice as likely to be repaired than amalgam 53

110 Conclusions Secondary caries was the most common reason for the repair or replacement of an exis8ng restora8on. Den8sts who did not place the original restora8on were more likely to replace it than den8sts who did (p<.001). Molar teeth were most affected compared to premolar and anterior teeth. Repair seem to be significantly associated with certain den8sts and prac8ces characteris8cs. 54

111 In summary Evidence- based den%stry is an approach to improving pa8ent care through decision making Incorporates research evidence, along with clinical exper8se and pa8ent preferences. Research evidence should help guide, rather than dictate, clinical decisions. Prac%ce Based Research Networks can gather real world evidence by conduc8ng research directly in prac8ce where the majority of the popula8on receives its dental care and can help to close the research to prac8ce gap. 55
