Synthesizing Systematically

[摘要] The quest of knowing the truth and what works is an eternal journey for all. The smartest is the one who takes the previous evidence and synthesizes it for self‑benefit and applies it in practice. In dentistry relying on evidence‑based literature has not garnered the speed, but in recent times, lots of publications are creeping up in the journals. Among all the dentists, 90% of full‑time clinicians had only heard about evidence‑based dentistry (EBD) but had not utilized it in clinical practice and felt need for lengthy discussion with a patient to be the primary barrier to evidence‑based practice, while 83.33% of academicians with clinical practice had read through the scientific literature. Transitional views of 79.37% of academicians suggested seeking and applying evidence‑based summaries to practice than applying conventional skills in EBD.[1] Moreover, the most common critique against the systematic reviews and meta‑analysis is that they provide inconclusive results. However, this has to be taken positively as this inconclusive results opens up the new plethora of clinical research. Moreover, evidence‑based clinical outcomes can be used to inform and enhance government policies as well.
