Comparison of Self‐Reported Evidence‐Practice Gap Improvement Strategies Among Japanese and Brazilian Dentists
This mixed-methods study identified seven strategies to improve the EPG in Japan and Brazil. Improving the insurance system and reimbursement in Japan, and developing and disseminating clear clinical practice guidelines in Brazil, may effectively bridge the EPG. Enhancing continuing education was the second-highest priority in both countries.
