description: OHSU School of Dentistry students learn evidence-based dentistry as early as the fall term in their first year. The course, Clinical Scientific Inquiry, or CDEN 701, provides the framework and supporting literature for understanding the background, principles and value of evidence-based dentistry. During this course students produce a critically appraised topic, or caseCAT. Seven caseCATs from the class of 2028 are highlighted in this edition of the School of Dentistry Anthology, or SODA. The topics are concise summaries of the best available evidence related to a specific clinical question written in a format known as problem, intervention, comparison and outcome, or PICO. Students learn to search for, critically review and apply scientific literature to answer clinical questions. Ultimately, the process helps dental professionals make evidence-based decisions in practice for patient care. At the end of the course, OHSU students present their caseCATs to their peers. In addition to caseCATs, this edition of SODA highlights four thesis abstracts and four research abstracts from our recent and current residents from the OHSU School of Dentistry Advanced Education programs in orthodontics, periodontics and endodontics. Also included is a manuscript on managing non-vital primary teeth in pediatric patients from a second-year dental student and a faculty member. The abstracts cover broad topics such as the anatomic-psychologic score to predict changes in the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ; contact mechanics of TMJ alloplastic implants; cleft volume as a predictor of the alveolar bone graft score; and a new Oregon Health Plan for orthodontic coverage. They also include the difference between amnion chorion membranes and platelet-rich fibrin membranes in the open membrane technique of ridge preservation; differential coating of bacteria by peptidoglycan recognition protein 3, or PGRP3, in subgingival dental plaque; evaluating the noise levels of endodontic equipment during microscopic-assisted procedures; and assessing the validity of chatbot responses in endodontic diagnosis and treatment with clinical vignettes.
