Evidence Based Dentistry

At Sujay’s Dental Care, our team of highly qualified and experienced dentists follows a scientific, patient-centred approach called Evidence-Based Dentistry (EBD). This allows us to deliver accurate, safe, and personalised treatment backed by the latest clinical research—ensuring every smile receives the best possible care.

What is Evidence-Based Dentistry (EBD)?

Evidence-Based Dentistry is a structured method of providing dental care using the most recent, clinically proven scientific evidence. It brings together three key components:

1. Latest research and clinically applicable scientific evidence

2. The dentist’s clinical expertise and strong academic background

3. The patient’s treatment needs, oral condition, and preferences

By combining these, dentists can take the most appropriate and predictable treatment decisions for each patient.

The American Dental Association (ADA) defines EBD as:
“An approach to oral healthcare that requires the judicious integration of systematic assessments of clinically relevant scientific evidence with the dentist’s clinical expertise and the patient’s treatment needs and preferences.”

What EBD does not mean

EBD doesn’t replace a dentist’s academic knowledge.
Instead, it enhances their decision-making by supporting it with updated, credible scientific evidence. This ensures treatment is not based on guesswork or outdated methods.

How EBD is followed at Sujay’s Dental Care

We incorporate Evidence-Based Dentistry at every stage of patient care. Our process includes:

Step 1: Understanding the patient’s concerns and expectations
Step 2: Recording detailed oral and medical history
Step 3: Using clinical expertise along with diagnostic tools like OPG X-Ray to identify the exact oral condition
Step 4: Explaining all treatment options to help patients make informed choices
Step 5: Selecting the most appropriate and scientifically proven treatment plan
Step 6: Proceeding with treatment after obtaining clear patient consent

This structured flow ensures accuracy, transparency, and patient comfort.

Who benefits from Evidence-Based Dentistry?

1. Patients

• Receive high-quality and predictable treatment

• No trial-and-error approach — every decision is backed by evidence

• Reduced discomfort and faster recovery

• Stronger trust in the dentist and the treatment process

• Ability to make confident, informed decisions

2. Dentists

• Higher confidence in determining treatment plans

• Easier decision-making in complex/inter-disciplinary cases

• Reduced wastage of time and resources

• Ability to incorporate the latest, scientifically approved treatments

How was traditional dental care practiced before EBD?

Before Evidence-Based Dentistry, clinical decisions were mostly guided by individual experience or expert opinion. This resulted in:

• No systematic method for treatment planning

• Varying treatment approaches between dentists

• More trial-and-error scenarios

• Difficulty assessing treatments when patients shifted dentists

EBD transformed this by bringing consistency, scientific validation, and patient-centred precision into dental practice.
