“…Most of the academicians with clinical attachments were not able to understand, but would like to know about technical terms used in evidence-based dentistry. Similar findings have been reported by Gupta et al, 14 and the authors noted that most of the participants had some knowledge and understanding about common technical words like meta-analysis and systematic review, etc., and wanted to know more about technical words used in evidence-based dentistry.…”

“…Gupta et al 14 concluded that lack of time was the most common perceived barrier to practicing evidence-based dentistry and a similar finding was found by Pratap et al, 12 while contradictory finding was seen in the study carried out by Apparaju et al 15 in which poor availability of resources and lack of time were the two major perceived barriers. However, in the current study, all the academicians felt that lack of personal time was the major barrier, whereas academicians with clinical attachments believed that lack of hard evidence and patients' expectation were also considered other perceived barriers to practicing evidence-based dentistry.…”

“…Assessing knowledge, attitude, and behavior of the dental professionals toward the same is of prime importance. In the Indian scenario, very few studies have been conducted by different authors like Pratap et al, 12 and Gupta et al, 14 on this subject from various parts of India, but there were no data exploring knowledge, attitude, and behavior of dental professionals from the western part of Rajasthan; hence, the present study was undertaken to assess knowledge, attitude, and practice of oral healthcare professionals toward evidencebased dentistry.…”

“…In the present study 49.1% participants were well aware about EBP while in a study done by Gupta et al in Bhopal among dentist practitioners it was 70.5%, while it was 95% in a study done by Weng et al 8,10 So we can see, though in this study almost half of the participants were aware about EBP, it was still less than some other studies, which calls for a need to introduce some workshops or maybe as a subject within the medical curriculum to expose the students more with the research activities and skills.…”

Background: Evidence based practice (EBP) is based on the integration of the best research evidence with clinical expertise to facilitate clinical decision making. Those patients who receive evidence-based therapies have better outcomes than those who do not.Evidence-based medicine is becoming a specialty in its own right, and it's an area that medical students should pay close attention to when determining their path. The objective of the study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice regarding evidence based practice among the undergraduate and postgraduate students of a medical college in North Karnataka.Methods: After obtaining ethical clearance from institutional ethical committee, this cross-sectional study was conducted in a Medical College in North Karnataka from November 2016–January 2017. All the interns and postgraduates studying in the College were included in the study. After obtaining informed consent, data was collected through pre-designed semi-structured questionnaire. Data was compiled and tabulated by using MS Excel and was analyzed.Results: Overall, majority of the participants hold positive attitudes toward EBP but lack sufficient knowledge and skills for implementation. The main barriers to implement EBP are insufficient time to read scientific research articles and the cost to its access.Conclusions: More focus should be given to EBP from the medical school itself, either through continuing medical education or various workshops, it can even be included in the curriculum so that all the undergraduate medical students can be sensitized to it from a very initial stage.

“…These findings may reflect a lack of time for this in their everyday clinical practice or perhaps the inability to appraise scientific journals, as shown in another study by Gupta et al . . In Sweden, since 2011, the National Guidelines for Adult Dental Care highlights recommendations for treatments based on current research, aiming to promote a range of care which shall lead to cost‐effective treatment alternatives and can be offered to patients on equal terms.…”

The aim of this investigation was to study the clinical prosthodontic decision-making process relating to dentitions with compromised molars among Swedish general dental practitioners (GDPs). Eleven Swedish GDPs were purposively selected, and all agreed to participate. Then, in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted and covered treatment considerations concerning two authentic patient cases, initially with complete dental arches, and later, a final treatment based on a shortened dental arch (SDA) was discussed. The cases involved patients with compromised teeth situated mainly in the molar regions. One patient suffered from extensive caries and the other from severe periodontal disease. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the data. In the systematic analysis, two main categories were identified: holistic and functional approach. Among the interviewed GDPs, focus was put on patients' needs, background history and motivation for treatment as well as the preservation of molar support. Within the limitations of this study, the following can be concluded: keeping a dental arch with molars seems to be important to Swedish general dental practitioners. The SDA concept does not seem to have a substantial impact on the prosthodontic decision-making relating to dentitions with compromised molars. The dentist's experiences, as well as colleagues' or consulting specialist advice together with aetiological factors and the patient's individual situation, influence the decision-making more than the SDA concept. The conflicting results in the prosthetic decision-making process concerning the relevance of age and the need for molar support need further investigation, for example based on decisions made in the dentist's own clinical practice.
