This study describes the environment that can be expected for dental education and dental practice as the 21st century approaches. The study uses data from many sources, including the recent report from the Institute of Medicine, which provides a comprehensive analysis of the variables that will affect dental education and practice in the next decade. Dental education and practice will be able to thrive if the new forces are carefully examined and the challenges are met promptly.
From very humble beginnings, professional dental education for the world began in 1840 at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, the site of the 46th meeting of the American Academy of the History of Dentistry. Most all countries today have professional dental education facilities or require formalized professional education of those permitted to the legal practice of dentistry. Throughout the world, most dental educational institutions historically can trace their beginnings, directly or indirectly, to the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery.
The relationships between industry and dental education are multiple and mutually beneficial. Perhaps most prominent are collaboration on research and development of products and technologies and the knowledge and public credibility that accompany them. Industry is also looked to for product and equipment support in schools and increasingly for help with outreach and access programs schools provide for underserved populations. Not as widely recognized, but still quite important, are the programs for support of student research and sharing of management expertise through exchange of board members. A quarter century ago, the relationship between schools and industry was at arm's length. There was a mistrust in schools that feared exposing their students to commercial contact. Today the relationship has evolved into a mutual search for joint benefits with an eye on the future of the profession and its relationship with patients. This is illustrated in the American Dental Education Association Corporate Council.
