Abstract
Evidence-based dentistry (EBD) concepts are of extraordinary importance for a good clinical practice. The clinician, the patient, and the scientific evidence are the three main components of EBD, whose integration involves the application of four steps: formulating of a question, getting the evidence, appraising the evidence, and applying the evidence. Evidence-based information comes from electronic databases and hand searches with the use of appropriate bibliographic techniques. Basic knowledge of the methodologies used in observational and experimental studies will allow to perform a critical appraisal of the available evidence. Finally, the application of the evidence-based information to the clinical scenario needs a quality assessment of the studies and is possible only when internal and external validity are high.
