Evidence for Up-to-Date Clinical Dental Practice. Ten Years of the Cochrane Oral Health Group

Abstract

On 30–31 May 2006, a conference was held in Manchester to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Cochrane Oral Health Group. This international group has coordinated well over 100 systematic reviews on a wide range of oral health topics. The first day of the conference reviewed what has been achieved. The second day looked to the future and assessed gaps, barriers to progress and opportunities for overcoming them.
