Multinational study reveals limited knowledge in evidence-based dentistry among final-year dental students, suggesting urgent curriculum changes.
Dental students acknowledge the importance of EBD, but their knowledge and skills in this area are limited. Insufficient training is the primary barrier, pointing to an urgent need for curriculum change. EBD should be integrated into undergraduate dental curricula, emphasising skills in literature search, critical appraisal, and applying evidence to clinical scenarios. Dedicated educational programmes are essential to prepare future dentists for evidence-based care.
