Course Descriptions

Title: Biostatistics, Evidence-Based Dentistry and Science. Who Knows What to Believe?
Length: 2.5 - 3.5 Hours


A highly interactive discussion serves to unfold the basic biostatistics needed by practitioners who seek to make sense of the biomedical literature. This leads into a discussion of the components of evidence-based dentistry with an emphasis (illustrated by likely examples drawn from the literature) on the many sources of bias. This presentation concludes with a discussion of scientific fraud, highlighted against both historical and contemporary interplays between science, politics and public policy.

Length: 3 or 6 Hours


(with Gilia Rethman RDH, BA, Editorial Director, Dimensions of Dental Hygiene): Evidence-based care... periodontal medicine… inflammation... biofilms… disease classifications… prevention and intervention strategies… are you aware? The world of periodontics is changing at lightening speed, and in order to best treat patients, the clinician must be knowledgeable in all aspects of periodontal care.
