Databases for knowledge

As dentists in training we must understand that the work is not limited only to a clinical chair and the patient. All our work must be supported by a broad theoretical knowledge that allows us offer security and confidence. Habitually the information in health (also in dentistry) change and updates constantly, so it is necessary to have very good databases. For example, one of this database is PubMed, this tool of search he specializes in health topic, contains many information of varies sources and his use is simple, so that the information is easily accessible and both expert and student can be informed in the same way.

Other database that also highly used is SciELO, this database contain information of various topic with the advantage that these are in Spanish (In PubMed the majority of information this in English). SciELO don’t just manipulate themes of health, if not also topics related with humanities, which makes it a database more versatile but less exact. The latter does not diminish the importance of SciELO, because these databases are useful for different areas of knowledge and depend on what you want to deepen. For example, when I was a student of the "Programa de Bachillerato" SciELO it was very useful but in PubMed dentistry it is much more useful
