clinical situation was managed properly, on the basis of the existence of clear standards
of practice established over the years via a combination of clinical trials and scientific
studies. Taken together, this combination is referred to as evidence-based care, in
which diagnoses are well established and treatment procedures have been clearly delineated
and shown to be effective. For many conditions, the standards of practice are published
and endorsed by the appropriate professional organizations. Some good examples are
provided in several dental fields.
