Epidemiology

Welcome to our course on Epidemiology. Epidemiology is very important for dental professionals as it involves understanding and using data to improve patient care and manage oral health at both individual and community levels.

Epidemiology in dental practice enables professionals to evaluate and apply study findings to clinical situations, guiding preventive strategies and treatment plans. It's essential for making informed decisions based on evidence and public health trends.

This course is specifically designed for dentists, dental professionals, and students who wish to enhance their knowledge and skills in using epidemiological data effectively in their practice.

The course focuses on teaching core epidemiological principles, study designs, and ethical considerations in dental research.

We look into how to critically assess the validity and relevance of epidemiological studies and apply these findings to patient care and broader oral health management.

By the end of this course, you will be able to understand and incorporate epidemiological methods into community oral health programmes, ensuring ethical and evidence-based approaches to managing oral disease.
