Abstract/OtherAbstract:
There have been many calls recently for a more 'evidence based' approach to clinical dentistry. This article argues the need for a similar approach to be adopted by the private dental schemes when setting criteria for practice inspection. The author recognises the laudable attempt to revise the 'quality' of dental practice but questions whether the methods adopted to date are justifiable.
