We are thrilled to share some significant leadership updates within our network. These changes mark a new chapter of growth and excellence, and we are excited to introduce the individuals stepping into their new roles.
Welcome to the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network
Good oral health and hygiene are important—without them you run the risk of developing serious oral conditions and diseases. To ensure our mouths and bodies remain in top working condition, the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network (PRBN) is dedicated to conducting dental practice-based research.
What is the National Dental PBRN?
The National Dental PBRN is a community of participating dental professionals and organizations committed to advancing knowledge of dental practices and discovering ways to improve them. We investigate research questions and share experiences and expertise with one another to embrace practical science for the benefit of everyone, from dental professionals to patients.
The basics of oral health are no longer enough for the evolving world we live in. Though poor dental hygiene has been linked to several diseases such as cardiovascular disease, pneumonia, and periodontitis, we want to shed light on the more common issues associated with the dental industry. From understanding pain after dental procedures and evaluating factors for successful crowns, the National Dental PBRN is providing case studies that will help lead the field of dental practice-based research and dental collegiality.
Why we’re important
Studies and research in the dental field have often been referred to as “scientifically valid, but clinically useless”. Our goal at the National Dental PBRN is to change that narrative while improving the efficiency and effectiveness of dental care as a whole.
We offer the dental industry a way to expand its knowledge-base while educating professionals and patients; the more knowledgeable you are about a topic, the quicker you will advance in your field. At the National Dental PBRN, our research helps fuel a sense of curiosity and critical thinking in students and practitioners, promoting a habit of lifelong learning. Here you can grow your network, expand your experience, and educate those within your practice.
