Evidence Based Dentistry

Times have changed. Long gone are the days where scientific information was handed down from professor to student and from generation to generation.

Decisions are no longer based on "what works in my hands" or "I tried this or that method and it worked great!!!!"

As periodontists, Dr. El-Halaby and Dr. Smith spend a considerable amount of their time updating their knowledge and broadening their scientific horizon through evidence.

 This basically means research. Not the scientist stuck in a lab with a bunch of test tubes research, but clinical research.

Day to day decisions on how to deliver the best treatments are based on the outcomes of numerous research-based conclusions. The techniques which take advantage of biological principles are molded and taylored to each individual case. This is what is known as evidence based decision making. Which translates to predictability and this is the key word when to it comes to modern, cutting edge regenerative therapy.
