- Abstract
The article discusses the significance of outcomes and outcome measures for trials of interventions for the prevention and management of caries. It states that outcomes can be considered as what is measured in the trial and outcome measures as how that is measured. It suggests that there is a need for a shift from the recommendations of groups of specialists to formal development involving a wide range of stakeholders' opinions in terms of outcome set development for studies in oral health.
