1 THE BASICS OF EBD Elliot Abt, D.D.S., M.S., M.Sc. Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center

2 Topics EBD vs. traditional approach to decisions Clinical examples Hierarchy of evidence Problems with published research

3 Defining Evidence-Based Dentistry Evidence-based dentistry (EBD) is an approach to oral health 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.

4 Research Evidence Clinical Experience Patient Preferences Evidence-based decisions

5 Condition A Treatment B Outcome C Traditional decisions

6 Dental School Rules All endo teeth need posts/crowns All missing teeth must be replaced All cases mounted in centric relation Border mould / face-bow / split-cast a must!! Never use cantilevers Chronic irritation leads to malignant transformation

7 Example 1 Bounded Edentulous Spaces

8 Traditional Approach All missing teeth must be replaced to restore function and to avoid arch collapse.

9 EB Approach

10 EB Approach Implant vs. fixed bridge survival

11 EB Approach Implant vs. fixed bridge survival Partial edentulism is a condition, rather than a pathologic entity

12 EB Approach Implant vs. fixed bridge survival Partial edentulism is a condition, rather than a pathologic entity No treatment leads to a minor self-limiting movement of teeth within first year postextraction

13 Treatment Options

14 Treatment Options 3-unit fixed bridge

15 Treatment Options 3-unit fixed bridge Single-tooth implant

16 Treatment Options 3-unit fixed bridge Single-tooth implant Removable prosthesis

17 Treatment Options 3-unit fixed bridge Single-tooth implant Removable prosthesis No treatment!!

18 Example 2 Amalgam versus composite

19 Research Evidence

20 Research Evidence On occlusal surface, both restoratives have good outcomes

21 Research Evidence On occlusal surface, both restoratives have good outcomes With inter-proximal and multi-surface lesions, risk of secondary caries is higher with composite as compared with amalgam

22 Research Evidence On occlusal surface, both restoratives have good outcomes With inter-proximal and multi-surface lesions, risk of secondary caries is higher with composite as compared with amalgam Fracture rates appear to be similar with both restoration types

23 Inter-proximal lesions

24 Inter-proximal lesions Does the patient have a high caries index?

25 Inter-proximal lesions Does the patient have a high caries index? Is the lesion sub-gingival?

26 Inter-proximal lesions Does the patient have a high caries index? Is the lesion sub-gingival? Is there enamel at the gingival margin?

27 Inter-proximal lesions Does the patient have a high caries index? Is the lesion sub-gingival? Is there enamel at the gingival margin? Is the lesion on a bicuspid or molar?

35 Example 3: Good Evidence Not Being Used Appropriately SEALANTS!!! FLUORIDE!!!

36 Evidence-based Dentistry Because each patient is unique, research evidence should help guide, rather than dictate clinical decision making.

37 5-step process 1. develop a focused clinical question (PICO) 2. search for evidence 3. critically appraise the evidence 4. apply evidence to patient question/ circumstance 5. evaluate

38 3 Questions to Keep in Mind What are the results? Are the results valid? Are the results relevant to my patients/ practice?
