Abstract :
Evidence Based Dentistry (EBD) has gained much importance in recent years. Along with, bridging the gap between dental practice and clinical research, it has also lead to improvement in Health care service management. The evolution of Evidence Based Dentistry has opened new vistas and prospects for the dental professionals. Besides adding new scope, EBD also faces some potential barriers and problems. This review paper aims to discuss the concept of EBD, its problems and prospects. To improve the quality of dental care provided to the patient, EBD should be incorporated into routine dental practice and new skills need to be developed in order to minimise the problems associated with it.
