Evidence-Based Dentistry

Evidence-Based Dentistry (EBD) is a modern approach that integrates the best available research with clinical expertise and patient values to make informed dental care decisions. It means that dentists use scientifically validated information—like studies and clinical trials—about treatments and procedures to ensure they are providing the most effective care. Additionally, it considers the individual needs and preferences of patients, so treatment plans are tailored and relevant. EBD aims to enhance the quality and safety of dental care, ensuring that patients receive the best possible outcomes.
