Take aspirin and call 911
Article Abstract:
Dentists need to create an information storage and retrieval system consisting of clinical trials of various dental treatments. This will allow them to use treatments that have been scientifically proven to be effective. In medicine, this is called evidence-based medicine. Such a system could be developed by the American Dental Association, particularly, the association's library. Dentists could have a computer in their office that could access this system.
