St. Louis, September 5, 2006 -- Students at New York University College of Dentistry will find a new item in their book bag as they start the new academic year -- The Journal of Evidence-Based Dental Practice, the foremost publication of information about evidence-based dental practice.
Through special arrangement with world-leading scientific and medical publisher Elsevier, the College has arranged to provide subscriptions to JEBDP to all students and faculty.

Individual students and faculty members are also encouraged to "opt in" to receive the print edition of the journal by mail.

Each quarterly issue offers Feature Articles and Clinical Opinion pieces on key issues affecting dental practice and oral health, highlighting and evaluating the current research eviden
