Salzmann Lecture 2020

I gave a virtual presentation of the Salzmann lecture to the AAO congress. I have divided this presentation into three parts.

Part 1: Evidence-based orthodontics and core outcomes

In this part of the lecture, I outline how we can practice evidence-based orthodontics and highlight some deficiencies in research. Finally, I Introduce the concept of core outcome measures and how they may change our research findings.

In the final part of the Salzmann lecture, I discuss the potential solutions to the problems of misinformation about orthodontic treatment.
