As we celebrate the <em>Journal of Evidence-Based Dental Practice</em> at 25 years of age, this article charts some milestones in pediatric EBD that show how clinical practice has led to scientific enquiry, research investigations and widespread changes in practice. The examples used are the Hall Technique, Atraumatic Restorative Treatment and pulp canal obliteration in dental trauma management. A pathway to improve research impact is proposed, stretching from ensuring research relevance and methodological rigor through to talking and listening to those who are stakeholders, planning implementation of findings, using core- and patient relevant- outcome sets, public communication and open science. Change does not have to be global to be important: locally tailored, context-aware research and its implementation can improve children’s oral healthcare, reduce inequalities and deliver value.

Its integration into undergraduate and graduate curricula aims to equip future professionals with the skills needed to critically appraise scientific evidence, apply research findings to clinical scenarios, and deliver patient-centered care. Despite its broad endorsement, the effectiveness of EBD education in producing sustained changes in clinical behavior and patient outcomes remains insufficiently established. This narrative review discusses key teaching strategies, curricular integration models, and real-world implementation experiences related to EBD education, while critically examining persistent challenges and gaps in the current evidence base. Active learning approaches, including small-group learning, journal clubs, hybrid formats, and structured mentorship programs, appear to enhance students’ knowledge, attitudes, and critical appraisal skills. However, structural constraints, limited faculty training, curricular overload, and difficulties in translating academic competencies into clinical practice continue to hinder effective implementation. Additionally, emerging digital and artificial intelligence–based tools offer promising opportunities to support evidence synthesis, guideline updating, and personalized learning, although concerns regarding accuracy, bias, and scientific integrity remain. Overall, while EBD education posits clear benefits in improving knowledge and attitudes, robust longitudinal evidence demonstrating its long-term impact on clinical practice is still lacking. Addressing these challenges will require institutional commitment, continuous faculty development, standardized assessment strategies, and the thoughtful integration of technological innovations to ensure the sustainable adoption of EBD in dental education.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48736,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Evidence-Based Dental Practice","volume":"26 1","pages":"Article 102229"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146090686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) tool was used to assess the potential bias and clinical relevance of the studies.
