Dentistry case reports are official documents used by dental practitioners to document their patient care decisions and the results of such care. They provide detailed accounts of specific procedures performed, diagnoses, medications, and other treatments that were administered to a patient. They also document any further recommendations made for the patient’s dental care. These reports provide a valuable source of evidence for dentists when providing evidence-based clinical decision-making. Case reports have been recognized as a powerful tool for the advancement of the science and practice of dentistry. The information included in these reports provides essential information which allows those in the profession to better understand the conditions and treatment of their patients. Case reports are usually made up of one to four pages, depending on the detail it includes. They can be used to document routine procedures, such as a dental implant or fillings, to major surgeries like cleft palate repair. These reports are written in a formal style which includes providing patient information, diagnoses, treatment, results, and follow up information. They typically include patient history, reason for the visit, physical exam findings, tests/labs results, diagnosis, treatments, and outcome. By doing this, a detailed record of the patient’s care is created. Case reports can also be very influential as they are used to communicate new information to dentists and other medical professionals. They allow them to learn about the progress and effectiveness of new treatments. The information in these reports is used to make informed decisions when it comes to providing patient care, and they serve as an example to other practitioners across the field. Case reports provide a reliable source of information for teaching and training, as well as for developing treatment strategies. Studies that involve case reports are essential in translating clinical findings into practice in order to improve patient care. By providing detailed information about the patient’s care and outcome, case reports stand as a valuable resource for advancing the body of dentistry knowledge and research.
