Evident Foundation

eviDent Foundation was established in 2011 as a health-promotion charity supporting Australia’s only Dental Practice Based Research Network (DPBRN). It is an initiative of the Australian Dental Association Victorian Branch Inc. and the Oral Health Cooperative Research Centre. eviDent aims to encourage relationships between practitioners and academic researchers. By building research capacity to produce and use evidence, eviDent facilitates and supports dental practices to produce and disseminate evidence that can translate into practice and inform policy. eviDent research leads directly to improved treatment outcomes for patients, and addresses the connection between oral and general health.
