The voting for this round ended on 30 September 2010, and the question that was voted into the top spot was:
Smoking cessation counseling:
Smoking cessation counseling is an important and essential role for the dental professionals? Do we know the best practice, the current activity at GDP level and the barriers? Is it worth to introduce in GDP and ask for NHS finance? Are we ready to do it, do we have enough time to do it?
This question is now undergoing a critical appraisal of the relevant literature and the evidence summary will be published on the website and in the BDJ in due course. Thank you all for voting!”
