Innovations in Dental Healthcare

“Fear of visiting a dentist,” long treatment hours on the dental chairs with the blinding lights on the face, everyone can relate to that!
With the diverse pool of the growling technologies and innovations, dental healthcare has been revolutionized over past decade ranging from 3 D printing, tele dentistry, AI algorithms, Augmented reality in the simulators, VR, IO Cameras and not to forget about the smart toothbrushes and many more. 

But not everyone is mused about the  use of the technologies in this digitally driven era. The innovations can thrive well  if there is the collaborative effort from the researchers, content experts, IT sector and the policy makers.

How are we going to do that? Shall we begin by exploring the wider skills, critical thinking abilities of the learners besides basic learning with in our medical education system? Shall we change the selection criteria (based on academic excellence)for the students to enter the medical schools? Shall we teach our students to be the better entrepreneurs along with qualified clinicians?…….. can lead to the rise of generation of future clinical innovators!!!!

Something to think about……..

    Great questions, Ranjana! I’m not sure of the answers (maybe that’s something we can all work on together through the course) but I am fairly confident that ignoring these issues within dental training is not the answer!
