Position Papers, Statements & Guidelines
CDHA provides leadership on critical and
emerging issues related to oral health and dental hygiene by enhancing access to research evidence, facilitating
timely application of research to practice through knowledge translation and developing position papers and
statements on a given topic. Evidence-informed resources synthesize and analyze the available evidence on a given
topic and develop recommendations to inform policy, programming and dental hygiene practice.
Use CDHA position papers, statements and guidelines as a self-study activity to inform your clinical practice.
Many provincial/territorial dental hygiene regulatory authorities provide CE credit for self-study activities
of a scientific nature. Please consult your regulatory
college and continuing competency program requirements for more information.
