Abstract

The new generation of oral health professionals will require an improved understanding of the interplay between oral health and general health. An ageing population and a greater proportion of medically complex patients; call for changes in the ways dentists are getting trained in India. A concerted effort to broaden primary health-care delivery in the dental clinic will greatly improve both oral and general health outcomes. It is proposed that expansion of biomedical training in the graduation dental curriculum, postgraduate training program and improved continuing education courses would provide the basis for achieving these goals.

Kew words: Dental Education; Oral Health; General Health; Dental Curriculum; Continuing Dental Education.
