Prairna Dhawan, Neha Harisinh Solanki, Karmika Randhawa, Kiran Preet Kaur

Evidence-based dentistry is the integration and interpretation of the available current research evidence, combined with personal experience. It allows dentists, as well as academic researchers, to keep abreast of new developments and to make decisions that should improve their clinical practice. The evidence based dental care paradigm implies that clinicians must regularly update their knowledge base by actively and critically digesting new scientific literature. Assessment of scientific evidence consists of three steps: firstly, the retrieval of evidence; secondly, the evaluation of individual studies for the quality of evidence and finally, the synthesis of the combined evidence from multiple studies to make conclusions about the evidence on a particular topic. The objective of this literature review is to impart knowledge to the dental practitioners on the basic concepts of evidence based dental care for the well being of the patient. Key words: Evidence based; Dentistry; Guidelines.
