Abstract :
Introduction: Since the 1990s, there has been an increasing interest in Evidence–Based Dentistry (EBD) internationally and from a wide variety of dental groups with the ultimate goal of improving patient care. Thus, this study was planned to evaluate knowledge, awareness and attitude of the Dental Interns of Sumandeep Vidyapeeth towards EBD. Materials and methods: A total of 77 Interns were selected and were asked to fill a questionnaire regarding EBD. Results: The results showed that 63.6% of the Interns claimed to have attended EBD workshop whereas 36.4% never attended any workshops. When asked about the components of EBD, 71.43% answered “evidence based sources”. A significant % of participants (64.9%) proved that systematic reviews provided the strongest evidence in the ‘Hierarchy of Evidence’. Discussion and Conclusion: Despite good attitudes about EBD, there is still a deficiency in student’s knowledge, so an appropriate plan is suggested to further resolve this problem.
