Levels of Evidence —Grading System∗∗Originally published in Newman MG, Weyant R, Hujoel P: JEBDP improves grading system and adopts strength of recommendation taxonomy grading (SORT) for guidelines and systematic reviews. J Evid Based Dent Pract 2007;7:147-150.
The SORT ‘‘grade’’ is derived from evaluating the evidence from a body of knowledge most often about a single procedure or new product.1,2 (Figure 1) These SORT grades are much more useful to the clinician because they emphasize effectiveness and are intended to provide results that are more applicab le to ‘‘average’’ patients. The quality of the evidence on effectiveness is a key component, but not the only component in making good clinical decisions. (Source: The Journal of Evidence-Based Dental Practice)

Confidence in outcome estimates from systematic reviews used in informed consent
Evidence-based dentistry now guides informed consent in which clinicians are obliged to provide patients with the most current, best evidence, or best estimates of outcomes, of regimens, therapies, treatments, procedures, materials, and equipment or devices when developing personal oral health care, treatment plans. Yet, clinicians require that the estimates provided from systematic reviews be verified to their validity, reliability, and contextualized as to performance competency so that clinicians may have confidence in explaining outcomes to patients in clinical practice.
