The Edentulous Maxilla
The first GCCG focuses on the rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla, a condition that significantly impacts patients' quality of life.
The GCCG aims to provide clinicians with actionable, evidence-driven guidelines designed to improve treatment outcomes for these patients by emphasizing real-world applications.
"Our guidelines aim to be clinically effective and reflective of patient needs, ensuring that our recommendations enhance treatments and ultimately improve patients' lives.”
Frank Schwarz
Scientific Co-Leader of the GCCG
A Unique Approach and Methodology
At the core of the GCCG's methodology are Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and Clinician-Reported Outcome Measures (CROMs), which are evaluated through systematic reviews.
Comprehensive feedback is collected through tailored Delphi surveys distributed to a broad range of clinicians, patients, and industry stakeholders. Extensive efforts have been made to incorporate diverse perspectives. The results from these reviews, surveys, and associated meta-analyses form the foundation for the clinical guidelines, ensuring they are both clinically relevant and practical.
Drawing on expertise from around the world, the GCCG ensures that its guidelines are applicable across various cultural and clinical contexts.
