Area of Science:

  • Dental Outcomes Research
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Growing demand for evidence of value in dental care from purchasers.
  • The rise of the evidence-based dentistry movement highlights gaps in current knowledge.
  • Current understanding of dental conditions and treatment outcomes is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a classification scheme for dental outcomes.
  • To illustrate the wide range of outcomes data relevant to stakeholders.
  • To discuss the utility of outcomes information and propose improvements.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel classification scheme for dental outcomes.
  • Analysis of the importance of various outcomes to patients, providers, purchasers, and society.
  • Discussion of applications for outcomes data in dentistry.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive classification scheme for dental outcomes was developed.
  • The scheme demonstrates the breadth of outcomes data crucial for informed decision-making.
  • Identified uses for outcomes information across different stakeholder groups.

Conclusions:

  • Dentistry's knowledge of outcomes is currently narrow and incomplete.
  • A broader understanding of outcomes is essential for patients, providers, and purchasers.
  • Cooperative efforts in research, education, and practice are needed to enhance outcomes knowledge.
