The Online Advice and Searchable Information System (www.jcdaoasis.ca) is a clinical decision support system developed by dentists for dentists. The system provides point-of-care support through a user-friendly mobile searchable database of clinical knowledge in three priority areas:

  • Medical conditions with implications for dental treatment
  • Prescription drugs with implications for dental treatment
  • The most common medical and dental emergencies (urgent care scenarios) likely to be encountered in dental practice

You can help now: Please send us the most common restorative emergency scenarios that you need answers for. jcdaoasis@cda-adc.ca
