Synthesizing Research to Create Practical Dental Protocols

How does peer-reviewed literature make it into the hands of practicing dentists? Sometimes it doesn’t. Other times research can be misinterpreted and applied incorrectly. The process of analyzing and applying current research is time consuming for practitioners to the point where new dental findings often fail to be widely adopted in practice.Reminiscing on his first meetings with researchers John Purk and Jack Ferracane, Dr. David Alleman discusses how synthesizing research into practical protocols requires a deep understanding of how research is conducted and a treatment-focused view of how different protocols interact with others. Without this perspective, research may be applied incorrectly, but with productive conversations and large-scale clinical examples, his Six Lessons Approach protocols show how using current literature to benefit patient outcomes is possible.Send us Fan MailUpcoming training programs:May 18: Online Biomimetic Mastership startsAugust 7-8: SLA WorkshopSeptember 14: Online Biomimetic Mastership startsSeptember 25-26: SLA WorkshopOctober 7-10: In-Person Biomimetic MastershipOctober 23-24: Advanced Occlusion WorkshopDecember 4-5: SLA WorkshopLearn more and register at allemancenter.com/eventsInstagram @david.alleman.dds@[email protected]@allemancenter
