title: Development of an evidence-based prosthodontic record: an action research study.
abstract: This study sought to develop a database in the field of removable prosthodontics by using a participatory action research method. Data collection consisted of a comprehensive literature review, focus-group discussions, and interviews. Applying action research methods ensures consideration of the needs, perspectives, and expertise of academia in the design and implementation of an evidence/ research-based patient record, and academic educators are well placed to conduct such research.
