This book provides an overview of the oral health care environment
as the transition is made to a system increasingly focusing on
disease prevention, early intervention to minimize disease
progression, and a personalized approach that meets each
individual’s needs. Descriptions are provided of an array of
technologies based on rapid advances in genomic medicine and omics
technology that are already entering clinical practice and promise
to have a huge impact on risk assessment, diagnosis, and therapy.
Detailed consideration is also paid to personalized health
insurance in the new environment, the impact of personalized health
care on the economics of health care, and the consequences for the
global diagnostic market place and improved access to care. The
changes in dental education required to produce dentists better
equipped to participate in the new health care environment are
examined, and the book concludes by considering key opportunities
and challenges.
