Abstract

The practice of managing dental disease has evolved during recent decades. Many of the traditional principles, operative technologies and the restorative materials taught in dental school curricula in the past have all developed and changed significantly. Contemporary training requires an alternative modern-day skillset to be appreciated fully and used effectively in the correct clinical circumstances. Patient attitudes have also changed in terms of their expectations of modern dental care and the desired outcomes with respect to the management of dental disease. Dental professionals can therefore no longer rest on their laurels, and cannot afford to rely on outdated principles and techniques. They must embrace these evolutions in ideologies, technologies and materials as has occurred in other aspects of general healthcare and even society in general.
