- Abstract
The American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) recently embarked on a Best Evidence Consensus (BEC) model of scientific inquiry to address questions of clinical importance in the treatment of periodontal and peri-implant diseases. For each focused question addressed below, there is a critical mass of evidence. However, standing alone, that evidence is, in the judgment of the Expert Panel convened by the AAP, insufficient to support broad conclusions and/or clinical practice guidelines.
