The numbers dentists look up, in one table.
Evidence briefs that aggregate the numbers dentists look up across many studies — hold times, thresholds, and product comparison tables with every source cited.
- Pain relief after tooth extraction: what the trials foundCompare ibuprofen, acetaminophen, naproxen, and opioid regimens after tooth extraction, with measured pain outcomes, evidence limits, and source links.5 sources7 decisions
- Does one-shade composite actually match? What the trials measuredSingle-shade composites like OMNICHROMA against multi-shade layering — colour match and colour stability from four randomised trials, plus the measured translucency, radiopacity, strength, and polish that the shade claim does not cover.7 sources10 decisions
- Do bulk-fill composites really cure at 4 mm, or in 3 seconds — and do they last?Measured depth of cure, 5 mm claims, 3-second curing, composition, shrinkage stress, radiopacity, and 3-year wear for the bulk-fill composites dentists actually place — against nine randomised trials comparing bulk placement with incremental layering.23 sources28 decisions
- Do you hold blood thinners, Prolia, or Ozempic before dental procedures?Evidence-based hold times for Eliquis, Xarelto, warfarin, Prolia, Fosamax, and GLP-1s before extractions and implants — every threshold cited.11 sources10 decisions
How we build these briefs.
Every figure is taken from a cited review, guideline, or trial — nothing is estimated or interpolated. When the evidence is thin or guidelines disagree, the table says so instead of picking a side.
