Evidence based Medicine and Practice
Open Access

Evidence based dentistry deals with oral health that requires the application and examination of relevant scientific data related to the patient's oral and medical health. It uses current scientific evidence to guide decision-making in the field of dentistry. EBD is a patient-centered approach to treatment decisions, which provides personalized dental care based on the most current scientific knowledge. The American Dental Association (ADA) defines Evidence-based Dentistry (EBD) as “an approach to oral healthcare that requires the judicious integration of systematic assessments of clinically relevant scientific evidence, relating to the patient’s oral and medical condition and history, with the dentist’s clinical expertise and the patient’s treatment needs and preferences.
