Use this resource to compare diagnosis, risk assessment, treatment selection or maintenance rather than as an isolated recommendation.

DentalReach Practice Perspective:

Clinical transfer depends on matching the evidence to the patient, intervention, comparator, outcome, operator and care environment.

DentalReach Clinical Contributor:

The researchers found that dry heat treatment of the N95 mask can kill four types of virus, including the coronavirus. Thus, after processing, they can. Interpretation should consider design, recruitment, comparator, bias, confounding, effect size, uncertainty and follow-up before changing patient care.
