Evidence-Based Dentistry

Welcome to our course on Evidence-Based Dentistry. This course is very important for dental professionals as it equips them with the necessary skills to integrate evidence-based principles into clinical practice for improved patient care and professional growth.
Evidence-Based Dentistry involves the careful evaluation and application of the best available research to treat and care for patients effectively. By staying updated with the latest dental research, professionals can make informed decisions that enhance patient outcomes and their own professional development.
The course focuses on developing the ability to critically evaluate and apply current evidence in clinical scenarios.
We look into defining and describing the fundamental principles of evidence-based practice in dentistry, appraising the quality and relevance of research literature and clinical guidelines, and integrating dental research into clinical practice.
