Description
Summary:Of the 52 studies emanating from the Veterans Affairs Dental Longitudinal Study, 6 were identified as technology assessments. Three of these studies evaluated dental radiographs used for the diagnosis of oral lesions. Two studies compared alternative technologies for the replacement of missing teeth, and one reported the effects of NSAIDs on alveolar bone loss. Four additional articles are discussed that provide data that will be useful in future assessments of dental technologies.
