Meta analysis
1. Compile results and analysis from all available
studies ignoring individual study conclusions
2. Re-analyze pooled results based upon common
meta statistics
3. Develop an overall conclusion based upon the
overall grouped meta analysis
Possible Outcomes
1. The evidence supports a particular treatment as
being effective.
2. The evidence does not support a particular
treatment as being effective.
3. The evidence appears to support, but is not
completely definitive for a particular treatment.
4. There is inadequate evidence to support or
refute a particular treatment at this time.
Unfortunately, most dental systematic reviews
result in either 3 or 4.

Primary objectives:
Conduct 16-22 short-term clinical studies over 7 years
Dental Practice-Based

At least 100 dental practices per Dental PBRN have been recruited
to participate during the first year of operations.
Each PBRN involves large numbers of practitioner-investigators in
at least two population centers.
