Total Health Dental Care is a dental practice that is part of the Dental Practice-Based Research Network (DPBRN), a collaborative effort of dental practices and organizations committed to improving clinical practice through research. The DPBRN operates internationally and includes practices in the United States, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Georgia, among others. It has a 4.9 average rating from 185 reviews.
The DPBRN focuses on practice-based research, which allows practitioners to propose or participate in research studies conducted in the real-world environment of dental practice with consenting patients. This approach provides benefits such as collecting data from practitioners about factors contributing to and from a patient’s perspective, either during a patient’s visit with the practitioner or outside of the clinic visit. It also allows for the efficient enrollment of large numbers of patients, with each practitioner contributing a relatively small number of patients.
The DPBRN is supported by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health. NIDCR provides funding for the network, which fosters investigative partnerships between academic clinical scientists and practicing clinicians to address questions of everyday relevance to dental practitioners.
Total Health Dental Care is part of this network, contributing to research that can directly affect daily clinical practice and meet the needs of clinicians and their patients. By engaging dentists in private practice, the network is able to reach the site of dental care for concentrated groups of patients and conduct research that spans the geographic, cultural, social, and rural/urban diversity of different patient populations.
The DPBRN exemplifies several principles of community engagement, such as community practitioners coming together with academicians to develop and answer relevant research questions that can directly affect daily clinical practice, and researchers partnering with the network in a way that allows for practitioners in the community to participate in all stages of research.
Total Health Dental Care is committed to advancing knowledge of dental practices and discovering ways to improve them, contributing to the overall goal of the DPBRN to streamline the implementation of oral health research studies into dental practices on topics of importance to provide evidence useful in daily patient care, and to facilitate the translation of research findings into clinical practice.
