Patients will alsohave access to up-to-date medical information and challenge their oral health care provider to use this information for their benefit. This presentation will show how published data cannot always be relied upon, and highlight how to interpret, challenge and use published information.

Objectives

  • Interpret outcomes from different research designs
  • Understand how authors present their data
