Short Handbook on Evidence-based Dentistry

Dentistry has evolved from the heuristic approach of the past to the present evidence-based approach which should also remain the future of dentistry so that our clinical practice should be benefitted from only the genuine lot of the thousands of clinical studies conducted every year across the globe. Evidence-Based Dentistry (EBD) helps filter the immense amount of newer information and advances which emerge in the ocean of scientific literature so that only the best available, relevant and current scientific evidence can be applied to improve the abilities of dental practitioners in therapeutic as well as preventive research so that they can cope with the complexity of dealing with a wide range of oral health related issues in everyday practice. The beneficiaries of EBD are the public, dentists as well as researchers.
