Selecting and Obtaining Equipment Using Evidence-Based Research for Improved Clinical Outcomes
Educational Objectives
After reading this course, participants should be able to:
1. Describe evidence-based equipment choice through the use of systematic reviews

3. Identify an applicable system for discussing return on investment and obtaining updated equipment for clinical practice.
Abstract
Dr. G.V. Black's head would spin if as the father of modern dentistry he saw the innovations in dental equipment for today's general practice settings. New products emerge continuously; therefore, selecting and obtaining the latest equipment to improve clinical outcomes can be a challenge for clinicians practicing chairside. Sources of product evaluation are changing with the rise in digital communication and the decrease in trade show attendance. This course aims to sort the available research on these topics and provide solid selection criteria for choosing, procuring, and purchasing evidence-based dental equipment for clinical practice settings.
COMMERCIAL SUPPORT: This educational activity is made possible through an unrestricted educational grant from Dentsply Sirona.
