The AAPD Reference Manual, along with its policies, guidelines, definitions, etc., provides a basis on which sound and up to date dental practice can be performed each day. Those who follow this document as a guide to pediatric dental practice will achieve the best possible results and will be in compliance with current practice, as supported by evidence. In this interesting and important podcast, Dr. Anu Tate, who chairs the AAPD's Evidence Based Dentistry (EBD) Committee, discusses the Reference Manual, the arduous work that goes into it, and why it is important for practitioners to stay connected with its content. She gives several examples of recently created documents that are significant in practice today. This is a must listen to podcast!
