Medical Review Policy

Every clinical guide is reviewed by a licensed dental professional before it goes live, and re-reviewed on a regular cadence.

Who reviews our content

Reviewers are licensed dental professionals — general dentists, prosthodontists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, or periodontists — practicing in jurisdictions with recognized dental regulators. Reviewer name, credentials, and date of review are shown at the top of every guide they have signed off.

What review covers

Clinical accuracy: terminology, anatomy, indications, contraindications, and described procedural steps must match current standard of care. Cited evidence must support the claim it is attached to. Patient-facing risk and complication descriptions must be neither understated nor sensationalized. Where genuine clinical disagreement exists, the page should present that disagreement rather than pick a side.

What review does not cover

A medical review is not an individualized treatment recommendation, a substitute for examination, or an endorsement of any clinic, country, or commercial product. Reviewers do not opine on prices, business practices, or marketing claims of third parties.

Independence

Reviewers are compensated for their professional time. Compensation is not contingent on conclusions, and reviewers retain the right to refuse to sign off on content they believe is inaccurate or misleading.

Re-review cadence

Each guide is re-reviewed against current evidence at least every 18 months. If a major guideline, recall, or safety communication is published in the interim, affected guides are reviewed immediately rather than waiting for the scheduled cycle.

How to report a concern

If you believe a clinical statement on this site is inaccurate, please contact the editorial team with the page URL and the specific passage in question. We investigate every credible concern, and we publish corrections promptly when the concern is substantiated.
