Teeth01:15

Teeth

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...
The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):
Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth 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.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Research
  • Information Science
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Evidence-Based Dentistry (EBD) Champions require efficient access to current research.
  • Effective literature searching is crucial for informed clinical decision-making in dentistry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce EBD Champions to resources for accessing dental evidence.
  • To provide hands-on training in efficient literature searching skills.
  • To enhance the ability to find the best, most current research for clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • The workshop focused on two primary strategies for accessing evidence.
  • Strategy 1 involved utilizing synthesized research (systematic reviews, EBD article reviews, critical summaries).
  • Strategy 2 employed PubMed's Clinical Queries feature, specifically 'Find Systematic Reviews', to locate synthesized research.

Main Results:

  • Participants were introduced to various resources for dental evidence retrieval.
  • Hands-on searching practice aimed to develop efficient information retrieval skills.
  • The session highlighted methods for accessing synthesized research, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

Conclusions:

  • The workshop provided foundational skills for EBD Champions to access and utilize dental research.
  • Effective use of synthesized research and search tools like PubMed can improve clinical decision-making.
  • Continuous development of information-seeking skills is vital for staying current in Evidence-Based Dentistry.
