Why Practice EBD?

PROBLEM: Practitioners must deal with an explosion of available dental literature

  • FACT: An average of 6,700 dentistry related articles are published each year. A dentist could read two full journals every month and would still miss thousands of research papers every year.1
  • EBD SOLUTION: Consulting critically appraised evidence-based review resources helps reduce the necessary time expended on collecting, reading, and evaluating dental literature.
  • EBD RESOURCE: Evidence-Based Dentistry provides access to succinct enhanced abstracts for individual articles and studies that are indentified as being methodologically sound and clinically relevant.
