背景和概述。了解如何搜索可以为临床决策提供信息的证据是循证牙科实践的基本技能。有许多类型的循证资源，其特点是在不同的处理水平，从初步研究到系统评价和临床指南的预先评估或总结的证据的覆盖程度。循证牙科的实践需要熟悉这些资源。在这篇文章中，作者描述了寻找证据的过程：定义问题，确定问题的性质和主要组成部分，并选择最能解决问题的研究设计。希望利用当前最佳证据做出决定的牙医可以使用这些指南来定义他们感兴趣的问题并有效地搜索这些证据。
Background and Overview. Knowing how to search for evidence that can inform clinical decisions is a fundamental skill for the practice of evidence-based dentistry. There are many available types of evidence-based resources, characterized by their degrees of coverage of preappraised or summarized evidence at varying levels of processing, from primary studies to systematic reviews and clinical guidelines. The practice of evidence-based dentistry requires familiarity with these resources. In this article, the authors describe the process of searching for evidence: defining the question, identifying the question's nature and main components, and selecting the study design that best addresses the question.Practice Implications. Dentists who wish to inform their decisions with the current best evidence can use these guidelines to define their questions of interest and search efficiently for this evidence.
