“…24,25 Because many dental procedures are based on weak, or even no, supporting evidence, a system that discusses the uncertainty of the balance between benefits and harm/risks is needed. In the author's opinion, GRADE is a system that best incorporates this criterion (patients' values and preferences).…”

“…Quite the contrary, EBR aims at generating a consensus statement that summarizes the outcome of a process of systematic evaluation of the literature. The statement provides ipso facto scientific validation of the best available evidence thus generated from all of the available research and of the clinical decision-making process (2,7,8,10). …”

It is a common practice in contemporary medicine to follow stringently the scientific method in the process of validating efficacy and effectiveness of new or improved modes of treatment intervention. It follows that these complementary or alternative interventions must be validated by stringent research before they can be reliably integrated into Western medicine. The next decades will witness an increasing number of evidence-based research directed at establishing the best available evidence in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). This second paper in this lecture series examines the process of evidence-based research (EBR) in the context of CAM. We outline the fundamental principles, process and relevance of EBR, and its implication to CAM. We underscore areas of future development in EBR. We note that the main problem of applying EBR to CAM at present has to do with the fact that the contribution of EBR can be significant only to the extent to which studies used in the process of EBR are of good quality. All too often CAM research is not of sufficient quality to warrant the generation of a consensus statement. EBR, nevertheless, can contribute to CAM by identifying current weaknesses of CAM research. We present a revised instrument to assess quality of the literature.
