Web-based Resource on Evidence-based Dentistry

描述（由申请人提供）： 本提案的目的是开发一个牙科信息资源，以支持循证牙科保健。循证牙科学是一种整合临床护理的科学基础的方法，使用最好的科学证据，与临床和患者因素，使医生和他们的患者能够做出最好的牙科护理决定。它是向牙科保健工作者传播科学信息的一种手段，使他们能够获得最佳的科学证据。为了促进循证牙科学在牙科专业中的实施，美国牙科协会基金会将利用美国牙科协会的人员和支持，雇用一个跨学科小组，开发一个基于互联网的循证牙科学资源，供全世界所有牙科专业人员、专职医疗保健工作者和公众使用。该资源将包括牙科专业人员感兴趣的临床主题的注册表，牙科相关主题的系统性综述的可搜索数据库，为牙科专业人员撰写的系统性综述的关键评价和摘要，以及为公众撰写的系统性综述摘要。这些资源将协助牙科医护人员作出循证的牙科治疗决定，并为病人提供有关牙科治疗方案的循证信息。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The intent of this proposal is to develop a dental informatics resource to support evidence-based dental care. Evidence-based dentistry is an approach of integrating the scientific basis for clinical care, using the best available scientific evidence, with clinical and patient factors, to enable practitioners and their patients to make the best possible decision(s) about dental care. It is a means for disseminating scientific information to dental health care workers so that they can access the best available scientific evidence. To facilitate the implementation of evidence-based dentistry within the profession, the American Dental Association Foundation, using the personnel and support of the American Dental Association, will employ an interdisciplinary team to develop an Internet-based resource on evidence-based dentistry that will be available to all dental professionals, allied health care workers and the general public world wide. This resource will include a registry of clinical topics of interests to dental professionals, a searchable database of systematic reviews on topics related to dentistry, critical appraisal and summaries of systematic reviews written for dental professionals, and summaries of systematic reviews written for the general public. These resources will assist dental health care workers in making evidence-based dental treatment decisions and will provide evidence-based information for patients on dental treatment options.
