Abstract

It is argued that many claims made in the dental literature lack scientific grounding. Rather than become cynical, dentists are urged to use their own critical judgment and caution when reading the literature, especially articles and advertisements in the rapidly expanding area of dental materials. An example involving research on "condensable" resin-bonded composites is analyzed in detail, showing how an apparently credible claim can be lacking in support.
