Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in pediatric dentistry integrates scientific research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences to optimize care for children. While EBP fosters advances in preventive, behavioral, and restorative approaches, its implementation is hampered by gaps in training, access, and infrastructure. This essay critically explores EBP’s principles, current applications, ongoing barriers, and future opportunities, emphasizing strategies for equitable adoption across varying resource contexts.
