Recommendations for clinical research protocols for dental materials. Federation Dentaire Internationale, Commission on Dental Products.
This report recommends factors to be considered by investigators in planning, initiating and promulgating clinical research. The phrase 'factors to be considered' implies that not all factors outlined will be utilized in any one project, and that the extent of utilization of certain individual factors must be tailored to the specific project in mind. These factors have been designed primarily to aid the investigator in planning, initiating and carrying through a clinical research project. The report deals with projects evaluating materials used in (1) operative dentistry, (2) endodontics, (3) orthodontics, (4) removable prosthodontics and (5) fixed prosthodontics. In each section detailed attention is given to (a) identification of the problem, (b) background information, (c) materials and methods, and (d) administrative aspects.
