Translating research into everyday clinical practice: Lessons learned from a USA dental practice-based research network
Open accessAbstract
Clinical studies are of paramount importance for testing and translation of the research findings to the community. Despite the existence of clinical studies, a significant delay exists between the generation of new knowledge and its application into the medical/dental community and their patients. One example is the repair of defective dental restorations. About 75% of practitioners in general dental practices do not consider the repair of dental restorations as a viable alternative to the replacement of defective restorations. Engaging and partnering with health practitioners in the field on studies addressing everyday clinical research questions may offer a solution to speed up the translation of the research findings. Practice-based research (PBR) offers a unique opportunity for practitioners to be involved in the research process, formulating clinical research questions. Additionally, PBR generates evidence-based knowledge with a broader spectrum that can be more readily generalized to the public. With PBR, clinicians are involved in the entire research process from its inception to its dissemination. Early practitioner interaction in the research process may result in ideas being more readily incorporated into practice. This paper discusses PBR as a mean to speed up the translation of research findings to clinical practice. It also reviews repair versus replacement of defective restorations as one example of the delay in the application of research findings to clinical...

Choice of repair over replacement differs among dentists according to dentist characteristics: those who placed the original restoration, graduated within the last 15 years, and work in large group practices repaired more often.
“Dentists who placed the original restoration, dentists who graduated from dental school within the last 15 years, and dentists who work in large group practices (3 or more practitioners) repaired defective restorations more often than they replaced the restorations [43].”

The Results report relative associations with repair, but the cited sentence says these dentists repaired restorations more often than they replaced them. The Results table shows the opposite for each named group: the same dentist repaired 32% and replaced 68%; the most recent graduates repaired 29% and replaced 71%; large-group dentists repaired 30% and replaced 70%. The Methods also do not define large groups as practices with three or more dentists; they define solo or small groups as having three or fewer. (LLM, conf=0.88)

The Predictions for future use of restorative materials (p. 6) reports that many surveyed students expected amalgam use to decrease, while the choice-of-material findings (p. 6) identify aesthetics and environmental concerns as reasons some preferred composite.

The paper does not establish an observed decline in amalgam use or show that these three concerns caused such a decline. (LLM, conf=0.85)

The Results (page unavailable) report that 65% of surveyed dentists would replace a composite restoration with a defective dentin margin, supporting reluctance to repair in that scenario. But 49% would repair one with a defective enamel margin, so the broader claim that clinicians do not routinely consider repair is overstated.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-09-28.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-09-28.
Cited sources are checked by gpt-6-sol.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
