Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate dental students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards evidence-based practice (EBP) across diverse institutions.
- A survey conducted among 138 fourth-year dental students revealed that while most had a positive attitude towards EBP, they lacked confidence in their critical appraisal abilities.
- The findings highlighted varied resource access habits among students, indicating a need for enhancements in EBP education to better prepare future practitioners.
