For advanced search, you may choose to use MeSH subject keywords to improve your PubMed search results. Watch the following YouTube Tutorial to learn how to search and use the MeSH database: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyF8uQY9wys

Use the filters on the left side of the result list to narrow:

check "Free full text"
check publication dates "5 years" or "10 years"

if too many results, click on "Show additional filters" and then
check the most relevant Subjects
check "Dental journals" if available under Journal categories

To cite articles from PubMed use a doi after the page number(s) element. If a doi is not available, use "Retrieved from url" after the page number(s).

Sample ebook: Clinical Cases in Dental Hygiene

Use the Library Catalog (Links to an external site.) to search for books on your topic.

Method 1: Simply do a keyword search on “dental”. A lot of the books are located at the Dental Hygiene department, some are online ( ebrary and EBSCOhost eBooks), and the rest are in the Health Sciences Library. Try other keywords too.

Sample books:

The oral-systemic health connection : a guide to patient care (RK61 .O73 2014 RESERVE REF)
