This guide explains evidence-based dentistry, helping dentists find and use research to improve patient care. It outlines a five-step process for collecting and applying the best scientific evidence in dental practice.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Evidence-based practice
  • Public health

Background:

  • Evidence-based dentistry (EBD) integrates research, clinical expertise, and patient values.
  • Effective EBD requires systematic methods for evidence retrieval and appraisal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline a practical, five-step process for dentists to collect and utilize the best research evidence.
  • To demonstrate the application of this process using examples of fluoride interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Asking answerable clinical questions.
  • Conducting systematic literature searches.
  • Critically appraising research findings.
  • Applying evidence to clinical decisions.
  • Evaluating the outcomes of implemented changes.
