Understanding the jigsaw of evidence-based dentistry. 3. Implementation of research findings in clinical practice

Nigel Pitts. Evid Based Dent. 2004.

Abstract

Part one of this three-part series provided an overview of evidence-based dentistry (EBD), provided one definition of EBD and, having introduced the EBD matrix, concentrated on the research synthesis part of the jigsaw puzzle. Part two focused on the middle row of this puzzle, the dissemination of research results. This final article deals with perhaps the most vital but the most often overlooked element of the puzzle: implementation of research findings in clinical practice.
