CRITICAL THINKING: UNDERSTANDING AND EVALUATING DENTAL RESEARCH, THIRD EDITION

Donald Maxwell Brunette

2020; Quintessence

419 pages

eISBN 9780867159882

figure 4

The third edition of this classic textbook has been revised based on developments in biomedical research practices over the past decade to provide readers with the most up-to-date resource for navigating the ever-expanding world of dental literature.

This book - a roadmap to evidence-based dentistry - helps readers to practically apply critical thinking skills in the evaluation of scientific literature and enables them to make the most informed decisions for their patients and themselves. Dr Brunette has a readable style, vital when covering potentially dry topics such as rhetoric and logic, the scientific method, research strategies, probability and statistics, diagnostic tools and testing, and experiment design. Particularly useful is the updated chapter about searching the dental literature which introduces the reader to the most current resources and search techniques available. A new chapter about clinical decision-making shows how critical thinking skills can be used to select the most appropriate treatment decision, followed by a whole chapter of exercises in critical thinking.
