Evidence-Based Dentistry
|June 30, 2009
Summary
The American Dental Association launched an evidence-based dentistry website in 2009. This resource provides dental professionals with access to high-quality systematic reviews.
Area of Science:
- Dental Science
- Information Science
Background:
- The American Dental Association (ADA) recognized the need for accessible, high-quality evidence in dentistry.
- Systematic reviews are crucial for evidence-based decision-making in healthcare.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish a dedicated online platform for evidence-based dentistry (EBD) resources.
- To support dental professionals in accessing reliable research findings.
Main Methods:
- Development and launch of the ebd.ada.org website in March 2009.
- Curating and providing access to high-quality systematic reviews.
Main Results:
- The website provides a centralized repository for EBD information.
- Facilitates informed clinical decision-making for the dental profession.
Conclusions:
- The ADA's EBD website serves as a vital tool for advancing evidence-based practices in dentistry.
- Continued support from the National Library of Medicine and NIDCR ensures the resource's sustainability.

01:21Tooth Anatomy
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.

01:15Teeth
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...
