| Summary: | Clinical dentistry is becoming increasingly complex and our patients more knowledgeable. Evidence-based care is now regarded as the
“gold standard” in health care delivery worldwide. The basis of evidence based dentistry is the published reports of research projects.
They are, brought together and analyzed systematically in meta analysis, the source for evidence based decisions. Activities in the field of
evidence-based dentistry has increased tremendously in the 21st century, more and more practitioners are joining the train, more education
on the subject is being provided to elucidate the knotty areas and there is increasing advocacy for the emergence of the field into a
specialty discipline. Evidence-Based Dentistry (EBD), if endorsed by the dental profession, including the research community, may wellinfluence the extent to which society values dental research. Hence, dental researchers should understand the precepts of EBD, and should
also recognize the challenges it presents to the research community to strengthen the available evidence and improve the processes of
summarizing the evidence and translating it into practice This paper examines the concept of evidence-based dentistry (EBD), including
some of the barriers and will discuss about clinical practice guidelines. |
