Why dentists don ’t like to change

The way evidence-based dentistry is supposed to work seems very straightforward. An established, respected clinical and research source provides a recommendation based on evidence gathered in sufficient quantity and quality. The needed materials are at hand. When the dentist sees and understands the new information, he or she is expected to incorporate the findings into clinical practice —but there the process seems to fall apart. Generally, nothing happens to change the dentist’s previous behavior and incorporate the evidence-based practice.
