What this research studies
This research aims to enhance the integration of evidence-based care into dental practice by training dental professionals in practice-based research (PBR). It focuses on developing a curriculum that incorporates PBR experiences into dental education, thereby improving critical thinking and the ability to apply new knowledge in clinical settings. Collaborations with various institutions will support the training of dental faculty and promote better patient outcomes through improved research practices. The project will leverage the largest dental PBR network to ensure that findings are relevant and applicable to real-world dental care.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are dental professionals and students who are engaged in or interested in enhancing their research skills and clinical practice.
Not a fit: Patients who are not involved in dental care or do not seek treatment from participating dental professionals may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved dental care practices and better patient outcomes through the application of evidence-based research.
How similar studies have performed: Previous practice-based research in medicine has shown significant success in improving patient outcomes, suggesting that similar approaches in dentistry could also be effective.
