Abstract
Clinical Audit (CA) is considered as one of the great tools of quality improvement in health care practice worldwide. Despite the fact that clinical audit concept has been implemented in several countries of the world, in Saudi Arabian context it is still not a well-performed practice. As such, many health professionals of Saudi Arabia including dental practitioners are still not aware of this concept though improving the quality of preventive and therapeutic health care services is one of the targets that has been set out by the National Transformation Program (NTP) based on 2030 vision of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Hence, to improve the awareness, as well as, the knowledge of the positive implications and benefits of CA in practice, it is essential for dental professionals and other health practitioners to perceive the methodology of CA. In order to develop the quality of care and enhance evidence-based practice, activation of CA is of great importance. Hence, a clear view on the different stages in the implementation process of CA has been attempted to explain in this paper. Also, several study reports on the clinical audit in various dental specialities has been put forward in this review that may play an inspirational role for dental practitioners in grasping this procedure in providing a perfect dental health care.
