Grading the quality of evidence and strength of recommendations: the GRADE approach to improving dental Clinical Guidelines (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

Substantial advancements have been made in how clinical guidelines are developed, particularly with the introduction of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. This system aims to provide a transparent and standardized approach to grading the quality of evidence and strength of recommendations. Despite slower adoption in clinical dentistry compared to medicine, there is an increasing acceptance of GRADE among dental professionals and organizations. Encouragement is given for dental practitioners to engage with the GRADE Working Group to further refine their methodology and enhance the quality of dental clinical guidelines.
