Research Writing in Dentistry provides you with a
uniquely practical guide to selecting, designing, and writing up a
research project. Of particular use to the dental student, both
pre- and post-doctoral, this is a no-nonsense guide that presents
concrete advice and information that can be absorbed quickly and
effectively. By asking simple questions, this useful resource
enables you to develop, analyze and present a program of research
work.
It begins with the basic principles of research: what it is and
how to select a topic and plan a program. It then moves on to
discuss study design, methods and materials, presenting results and
undertaking a literature review. It concludes with a section
on basic statistics and analysis. Precepts and guidance are
illustrated throughout with examples from dentistry.
