Abstract

Dentistry and oral health research will undergo many changes in the coming years. The resulting “new dentistry” will be much broader in scope than at present, characterized by a greater variety of techniques to diagnose and treat a larger number of orofacial conditions, and a more diverse array of approaches to prevent disease and foster positive oral health. Among the key factors responsible for these changes are (1) the tremendous knowledge “explosion” and fundamental advances currently taking place in such fields as molecular and cell biology, the neurosciences, immunology, biomaterials, computer science, and biotechnology; and (2) the increasing application of these advances to clinical practice.
