WHAT IS RESEARCH?RESEARCH- “is the continual search for truth
using the scientific method”ORAL HEALTH RESEARCH – “refers to
laboratory, clinical and field investigations that lead to improvement in the control of oral diseases and health care delivery”
![Page 3: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
WHY DO CLINICAL RESEARCH?• To promote the oral health of the public• To contribute new knowledge or reevaluate current
knowledge.• To improve techniques and practices of identifying ,
preventing and treating oral diseases.• To develop and test theories related to oral health
care.• To solve problems in advancement , decision making
and change in oral health delivery.

GETTING STARTED• FORMULATION AND SET FRAMEWORK OF
RESEARCH PROBLEM
• “A RESEARCHABLE PROBLEM IS A STATEMENT OR QUESTION THAT POSES AN UNKNOWN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VARIABLES AND SERVES TO FOCUS THE ENTIRE INVESTIGATION”
![Page 10: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
HYPOTHESIS
• HYPOTHESIS is defined as “a tentative prediction or explanation of the relationship between two or more variables.”
• Hypothesis is the foundation on top of which you build your thesis
![Page 11: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
REVIEW OF LITERATUREThe literature that is relevant to the problem must be concisely reviewedIt can be -Indices -Computer based literature searches - Bibliographies
![Page 12: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Eligibility criteria are guidelines that describe characteristics that must be minimally shared by all participants. The criteria differ from study to study. Criteria include:
• Age• Gender• Medical history• Current health status• Lab values
![Page 13: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
INCLUSION/EXCLUSION CRITERIA
•Factors that allow someone to participate in a clinical trial are "INCLUSION CRITERIA“
• Factors that exclude or do not allow participation in a clinical trial are"EXCLUSION CRITERIA“
![Page 14: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SAMPLING
• What is your population of interest?– To whom do you want to generalize your results?
SAMPLING“Is the process or technique of selecting a sample of appropriate Characteristics and adequate size “
![Page 15: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

TYPES OF SAMPLES
• PROBABILITY (RANDOM) SAMPLES – Simple random sample– Systematic random sample– Stratified random sample– Cluster sample
• NON-PROBABILITY SAMPLES– Convenience sample– Purposive sample– Quota
![Page 17: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
SAMPLE SIZE•Bigger the sample higher will be the precision of the estimates of the sample .
•An optimum size of the sample is to be considered.
![Page 18: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
INFORMED CONSENT
Informed consent is the process of providing potential participants with important facts about a clinical trial before they decide to participate.
![Page 19: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
BIASSELECTION BIAS- occurs when a group studied does not reflect the same distribution of characteristics like age, sex, occupation , race etc. as occuring in general population.
INFORMATION BIAS-occurs when there is an error in the classification of individuals with respect to the outcome variable. This may result from measurement errors, imprecise measurements and misdiagnosis of cases.
CONFOUNDING BIAS – confounding occurs when other factors that are associated with the outcome and exposure variables do not have the same distribution in the exposed and unexposed groups.
![Page 20: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
BLINDINGA)Single blind trial : the trial is so planned that the participant is not aware whether he belongs to the study group or control group.
B)Double blind trail: The trial is so planned that neither the investigator nor the participant is aware of the group allocation and the treatment received.
c)Triple blind trial : The participant , the investigator and the person analyzing the data are all blind.
![Page 21: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
EPIDEMIOLOGY VS RCT
• Epidemiology allows the study of the real world and the development of hypothesis regarding disease states
• Randomized, controlled trials allow the rigorous testing of hypothesis in a well characterized manner that is less real world in nature
![Page 22: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
CASE CONTROL STUDY
• The same problem could also be studied in a case-control study. A case-control study begins with the selection of cases (people with a disease) and controls (people without the disease). The controls should represent people who would have been study cases if they had developed the disease (population at risk).
![Page 23: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
COHORT STUDY
• Cohort studies begin with a group of people (a cohort) free of disease. The people in the
cohort are grouped by whether or not they are exposed to a potential cause of disease. The whole cohort is followed over time to see if the development of new cases of the disease (or other outcome) differs between the groups with and without exposure.
![Page 24: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
RANDOMIZED CONTROLCLINICAL TRIAL
• Patients assigned at random to either treatment(s) or control
• Considered to be “Gold Standard”
![Page 25: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
ETHICS OF CLINICAL TRIALS: PROTECTION OF PARTICIPANTS
3 ethical principles guide clinical research:• Respect for Persons:Respect for Persons: Treatment of person
as autonomous• Beneficence:Beneficence: Issue re: potential conflict
between good of society vs. individual• Justice:Justice: Treatment of all fairly & all equally
share benefits & risks
![Page 26: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
DATA
• Data are the facts you measure• They should be carefully recorded in an
unbiased manner• They should be measured in a manner that
minimizes random variation• They should be derived from the operational
definitions you have developed
![Page 27: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
COLLECTION OF DATAQualitative data: when the data is collected on the basis of attributes or qualities like age , sex etc., it is called qualitative data.
Quantitative data: When the data is collected through measurement example – LA drug dose ,
SOURCE OF DATA
Primary source – Data obtained by the researcher himself. This is first hand information.
Secondary source – The data already recorded is utilized to serve the purpose of the objective of the study. Eg . The records of the OPD of dental clinics

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
•Analysis and interpretation is done using biostatistics
•BiostatisticsBiostatistics- is that branch of statistics concerned with mathematical facts and data related to biological events.
![Page 30: RESEARCH In OMFS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555165a6b4c905e1708b54ac/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY
• RELIABILITY– The extent to which a test is repeatable and yields
consistent scores– Affected by random error/bias
• VALIDITY– The extent to which a test measures what it is supposed to
measure– A subjective judgment made on the basis of experience
and empirical indicators– Affected by systematic error/bias
