As our reliance on empirical evidence within the dental community grows, now could be the time to understand why the experiment methodology is being favoured. This article reviews the background literature in greater detail, relating to what empirical evidence is and its relevance to evidence-based dentistry (EBD). It explores why empirical evidence is becoming synonymous with the outcome of an experiment methodology only. Furthermore, the article discusses why these preferences may not be truly justified and looks at the implications of the findings for the future of EBD.
