Clinicians face the complexities of current patient care:

Patientcare

Aging population

Awareness of oral-

systemic connections

Patient lack of access to

basic health services

Rising incidence

and prevalence of chronic diseases

The increasing complexity of knowledge and skills required to provide comprehensive

care to these patients has resulted in increasing specialization within the health

professions.
