Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) are designed to support the decision-making processes in patient care.

CPGs, based on standardised best practice, have been shown to be capable of supporting improvements in quality and consistency in healthcare. Many have been developed, though the process is time and resource consuming. Listed below are collections of available CPGs either through the UQ Library, or the Internet that may be relevent to Dentistry and Oral Health.
