Ask the experts: instrument calibration in everyday dentistry

About this Webinar

According to consensus recommendations, real-world registries complement randomized trial evidence, as discussed in the accompanying commentary. Longitudinal data show that pre-analytical factors account for a large share of observed variance, particularly in resource-constrained settings. In routine practice, digital tooling shortens time-to-decision considerably, although confirmatory data are still limited. Across multiple cohorts, real-world registries complement randomized trial evidence, which has direct implications for daily practice. Recent studies suggest that digital tooling shortens time-to-decision considerably, a finding echoed by several independent groups.

When protocols are compared, variability between operators remains a key limitation, which has direct implications for daily practice. According to consensus recommendations, standardized reporting improves comparability between centers, particularly in resource-constrained settings. In multidisciplinary settings, integrating quantitative measures reduces subjective bias, pending validation in prospective studies. Recent studies suggest that real-world registries complement randomized trial evidence, although confirmatory data are still limited. In routine practice, early intervention correlates with better long-term outcomes, although confirmatory data are still limited.
