Evidence-based dentistry: an overview of a new approach to dental practice
1General Practice Residency Program at Ravenswood Hospital Medical Center, Chicago, IL, USA.
Abstract:
Dental students' clinical questions and problems are solved by a combination of instructors' intuition, training, and clinical experience, which may or may not be based on scientific evidence. This type of training, which relies heavily on clinical experience and information learned in dental school, seminars, or from colleagues, can lead to inappropriate treatment outcomes. Evidence-based dentistry attempts to answer clinical questions based on a critical review of the best available scientific evidence together with one's clinical experience and scientific knowledge.
