Personalized Oral Health Care

Abstract

The view of personalized care has evolved with the advent of modern molecular and genomic science, the completion of the Human Genome Project, the launching of the Human Microbiome Project, the focus on the individual in western societies, the explosion of Big Data, and business models and political systems becoming interwoven with health care. Dentistry is embracing this new paradigm that focuses on health care that is personalized, predictive, preventive, and participatory. Whether using “omic” technology, handheld devices, or sampling of various body substances, health and dental care are poised to write the next chapter in our historical text of personalization of oral health care. Notable advances in personalization of oral care include knowledge gained in oral cancer, periodontal disease, and caries. These advances, with an emphasis on metabolomics, will be discussed within the framework of the current status of these diseases, their limitations, and the emerging opportunities in these fields in terms of disease diagnosis.
