Abstract
|
|
|
|
Alternative therapies refer to medical treatments that are not widely taught at medical schools or available at hospitals. The increasing use of alternative therapies and the large scale acceptance of unconventional science raise challenges for dentists today. Ineffective alternative therapies can appear effective because of the placebo effect, symptom variability, short-term observations, combination with established treatments, and reporting bias. The claims of alternative therapists are useful in identifying perceived deficiencies in conventional treatments. To counter alternative practitioners´ s claims include scientific research and improved access to and evaluation of the research literature.
