IADR University Of Manchester Evidence-Based Dentistry Award

All registered members of the Evidence-Based Dentistry Network.

Abstracts should be submitted to the Secretary of the EBDN in response to the regular call for abstracts for the IADR General Session by the October 17, 2023 deadline. When submitting an abstract to IADR, please select “Evidence-based Dentistry Network” as the Scientific Groups & Network so that the accepted abstract will be scheduled in an EBDN session. The winner will be announced during the conference.

All abstracts and posters/presentations of those wishing to be considered for the awards will be reviewed. The review will be based on the scientific quality of the research, the reporting of the abstract, and oral and poster presentations. Systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials are the focus of many of the abstract submissions for the IADR general session that are received by the EBDN committee. To this end, you may find the following open access publications helpful in the reporting of abstracts of systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials.
