背景基于实践的研究网络（PBRN）是致力于改善临床实践的实践联盟。它们已变得越来越普遍，包括牙科PBRN。然而，在文献中很少有报道涉及牙科PBRN的结构和功能。在亚拉巴马的最初发展之后，牙科实践为基础的研究网络（DPBRN）现在包括美国七个州和三个斯堪的纳维亚国家的牙科医生调查员。虽然大部分的功能和结构是在DPBRN成立之初开发的，但来自咨询师-调查员的宝贵投入导致了重大的持续改进。DPBRN的研究人员在其发展的每个阶段都为研究做出了贡献，导致研究设计的实质性改进和研究方案的定制，以适应其日常临床实践。实践者-研究者也帮助完善了DPBRN的结构和功能，以促进研究的潜在影响。来自不同环境的从业人员正在与同行和学者合作，以改善日常临床实践，并满足临床医生和他们的病人在DPBRN的需求。牙科PBRN可以通过让牙医参与他们及其患者直接感兴趣的研究的开发和实施，并将这些研究的结果纳入他们的日常临床实践来改善临床实践。
Background. Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) are consortia of practices committed to improving clinical practice. They have become more common and include dental PBRNs. Few reports in the literature, however, have addressed the structure and function of dental PBRNs.Methods. After initial development in Alabama, the Dental Practice-Based Research Network (DPBRN) now includes practitioner-investigators in seven U.S. states and three Scandinavian countries. Although most of the function and structure was developed at the inception of DPBRN, valuable input from practitioner-investigators has led to significant ongoing refinements.Results. DPBRN practitioner-investigators have contributed to research at each stage of its development, leading to substantial improvements in study designs and customization of study protocols to their daily clinical practices. Practitioner-investigators also have helped refine the structure and function of DPBRN to foster the potential impact of research.Conclusions. Practitioners from diverse settings are partnering with fellow practitioners and academics to improve daily clinical practice and meet the needs of clinicians and their patients in DPBRN.Practice Implications. Dental PBRNs can improve clinical practice by engaging dentists in the development and implementation of studies that are of direct interest to them and their patients, and by incorporating findings from these studies into their daily clinical practice.
