Annual Evidence Update on Special Care Dentistry - 30 November 2009
Annual Evidence Update on Special Care Dentistry (NHS Evidence - oral health)
www.library.nhs.uk/oralhealth
Since the first Evidence Update on this topic in September 2008, Special Care Dentistry has been officially designated a dental speciality. The latest Update is presented in the week that the two professional societies for special care dentistry hold their meetings (British Society for Disability and Oral Health and British Society of Gerodontology).
The Update brings together new guidance and systematic reviews relevant to Special Care Dentistry that have been published since the last update, accompanied by a commentary on the evidence.
Background to the NHS Evidence Specialist Collections and Annual Evidence Updates
The specialist collections have been developed to identify and meet the information needs of particular communities of practice. They are web-based collections containing clinical and non-clinical information on the major health priority areas. Each specialist collection identifies and provides access to quality assessed information of relevance to the community that it serves. An aspect of this involves the production of Annual Evidence Updates, which aim to highlight the best current evidence for selected healthcare topics. Annual Evidence Updates consist of the good quality evidence from a search of research evidence on a particular topic over a 12 month period, plus user-friendly summaries written by relevant experts, and links to guidelines, secondary research and primary research, if applicable. All information included in Annual Evidence Updates has been subject to rigorous selection criteria.
