On March 27, 2008 the ADA conducted an evidence based dentistry (EBD) workshop to teach critical summary skills. Participants learned to write critical summaries of systematic reviews. These summaries will be a key feature of a new website focusing specifically on EBD. An additional workshop will be held in June.
The ADA has created a temporary web page as they work to develop an enhanced EBD website. This new content area features a searchable directory of systematic reviews, a glossary of terms, and additional resources on evidence-based dentistry. The project is supported with a grant from the National Library of Medicine.
Read more about the workshop here.
