Evidence-based practice (EBP) is crucial for demonstrating treatment effectiveness in maxillofacial prosthetics. Developing critical appraisal and literature searching skills ensures practitioners maintain clinical competence and provide optimal patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Maxillofacial Prosthetics
  • Evidence-Based Practice
  • Health Care Research

Background:

  • Growing demand for evidence supporting healthcare strategies from patients, insurers, courts, and researchers.
  • Need for robust data to validate treatment effectiveness in clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe evidence-based practice (EBP) in maxillofacial prosthetics.
  • To explore the origins and value of EBP in addressing the demand for treatment effectiveness.
  • To highlight the importance of EBP for practitioners.

Main Methods:

  • A targeted literature review of maxillofacial prosthetics was conducted using Medline (1966-1998).
  • Articles were categorized by methodological design.
  • The strength of evidence for each study was critically assessed.

Main Results:

  • Efficient literature searching techniques are available.
  • Essential critical appraisal skills are necessary for evaluating treatment evidence.
  • These skills are vital for maintaining clinical proficiency.

Conclusions:

  • Evidence-based practice, supported by literature searching tools and critical appraisal skills, empowers practitioners.
  • EBP enables the validation of individual patient treatment effectiveness.
  • Incorporating EBP training into curricula is recommended to prevent skill degradation.
