Saadika B KhanPublished in: BDJ open (2020)
Knowledge translation consists of multiple stages from design to implementation which includes diffusion, dissemination (such as publishing) and implementation of evidence into clinical practice (application of concepts or procedures to improve patient care).Only quality research, as stipulated on the evidence pyramid, can be used to change curricula and clinical practices.The strategic approach with stakeholder mapping allows identification of key stakeholders in prosthodontics (knowledge brokers or communities of practice) that have the interest and influence to change curricula and clinical practice; including a combined approach with researchers which may enable easier application of quality care to patients.
