Three working groups will be formed by invitation only. Chairmans and working groups members will identify a number of clinically relevant questions suitable for consensus discussion. Literature review will be performed and each group will discuss and reach agreement on the questions previously chosen. The recommendations from each group will be then presented to the full panel of experts and discussed, and a general consensus will be reached. A consensus statement on research evidence and best practice in that field and a list of clinical recommendations including list of recommendations for future research - will be developed and published in
Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Research (
