Evidence Based Dentistry

Evidence-based dentistry (EBD) is a practice that integrates the latest scientific research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences to inform dental decision-making. Dentists use current and relevant scientific evidence to guide treatment plans, diagnostic approaches, and preventive strategies. This approach emphasizes the importance of critically appraising and applying the best available evidence to improve patient outcomes. EBD involves staying updated with the latest research findings and continually evolving dental practices based on the most reliable and validated information. By incorporating evidence-based principles, dental professionals can enhance the quality of care, promote patient satisfaction, and contribute to the ongoing advancement of dental knowledge and practices. Regular reviews of scientific literature and continued education are essential components of evidence-based dentistry.
