Abstract

This presentation is designed for Dental Services Journal Club attendees as Session 1 of an article‑based workshop series on clinical scholarship, using three exemplar papers on drug‑induced gingival overgrowth (Mavrogiannis 2006, Fardal 2015, Mawardi 2021) to illustrate how to read, interpret, and critically appraise different study designs (narrative review, retrospective cohort, systematic review). The session emphasizes understanding methods and limitations (e.g., non‑systematic literature searching, confounding and missing data, lack of baseline matching, single‑center bias, heterogeneous treatments), interpreting risk of bias and evidence levels, and applying structured critical appraisal language so that dental clinicians can more confidently evaluate periodontal and pharmacologic evidence in real‑world cases.
