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)

Direct Pulp Capping: What is the Most Effective Therapy? —Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Direct pulp capping therapies use biomaterials to protect exposed tissues, inducing repair through the production of a mineralized barrier. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of biomaterials and techniques by means of a systematic review and meta-analysis. (Source: The Journal of Evidence-Based Dental Practice)

Using Evidence-Based Dentistry in the Clinical Management of Combined Periodontal Conditions
This report proposes a framework to integrate evidence-based dentistry (EBD) in a systematic approach in the clinical management of a patient diagnosed with drug-induced gingival hyperplasia combined with generalized aggressive periodontitis.This report illustrates the case of a 37-year-old female who presented to the Department of Periodontology at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine with enlarged, tender, bleeding gums, and loose teeth combined with a history of uncontrolled hypertension treated with calcium channel blockers.
