The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge and use of evidence-based dentistry (EBD) among Iranian dentists.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted by means of a questionnaire among dentists attending the 52(nd) National Annual Congress of the Iranian Dental Association in Tehran in April 2012. The questions covered the participants' level of knowledge and use of EBD.
The mean knowledge score of the 310 respondents was 3.66 ± 1.19 out of a maximum of 5. The majority of the dentists had little (56.1%) or no (20.7%) knowledge of EBD. The main reported barrier to the use of EBD was lack of time (44.1% of respondents) with 42.8% of dentists using the Internet less than one hour per week.
EBD was not a familiar concept to these Iranian dentists; the majority of them preferred consultation with colleagues over seeking evidence from electronic databases.
本研究的目的是评估伊朗牙医对循证牙科（EBD）的了解和应用情况。
2012年4月，通过问卷调查的方式，对参加在德黑兰举行的第52届伊朗牙科协会全国年会的牙医进行了横断面调查。问题涵盖了参与者对循证牙科的了解程度和应用情况。
310名受访者的平均知识得分在满分5分中为3.66±1.19分。大多数牙医对循证牙科了解很少（56.1%）或一无所知（20.7%）。报告的使用循证牙科的主要障碍是缺乏时间（44.1%的受访者），42.8%的牙医每周使用互联网的时间少于一小时。
循证牙科对这些伊朗牙医来说不是一个熟悉的概念；他们中的大多数人更喜欢与同事协商，而不是从电子数据库中寻找证据。
