Dental Trends
1. Combination of oral treatment with conventional treatment in other departments
Oral organs and the oral-jaw system are an integral part of the human body. Oral health is closely related to the health of the body's systems. In the future, oral medicine will become a part of medicine, and oral treatment will be more combined with routine treatment in other departments. Severe gum problems may be an early symptom of diabetes, new research suggests. There is a growing consensus that poor oral health contributes to a range of systemic health risks, such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, lung problems, tooth decay, breathing disorders, missing teeth, gum disease, diabetes, oral cancer, and more.
2. Development of cavity materials
Oral materials have played a huge role in promoting the development of oral medicine. The past 100 years have been a period of rapid development of oral science and a period of great development of oral materials science.
The progress and improvement of oral medicine often lead to the improvement of oral materials or the emergence of new oral materials; the emergence of new oral materials will also bring a qualitative leap to oral medicine.
3. Digital Technology
Oral scanning technology, digital diagnostic design software technology, digital manufacturing technology, 3D printing technology, artificial intelligence (robot) technology, network-based comprehensive cloud service technology and other digital technologies that bring changes to stomatology will develop on a large scale. Enables service industry teams to be very efficient, producing more precise restorations and more effective treatments. Stomatology, like traditional medicine, will gradually transform from image analysis, diagnosis, medical record management, medical treatment process, and diagnostic data analysis to digital management. Mathematical statistics and big data analysis will also promote the reform of oral clinical operation mode. Stomatology, especially orthodontics, introduced robotics earlier, allowing robots to do what robots are good at, thereby freeing doctors to do what doctors are good at.
4. Inhibit biofilm to achieve antibacterial and bacteriostatic
Since the beginning of this century, the abuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence and spread of a large number of drug-resistant bacteria, posing a serious threat to global public health. In this way, routine infections and minor diseases can kill humans. The threat to oral health from the misuse of antibiotics is also a future concern.
5. The penetration of molecular biology into oral medicine
The etiology, pathogenesis, and regularity of some oral diseases have not been fully elucidated, so radical methods and integrity techniques have not been effectively developed. Molecular biology goes deep into oral medicine, and the molecular level reveals oral diseases
6. Pay attention to the oral problems of the elderly
Another direction to promote oral health is for the elderly. Like most countries in the world, China is also facing a serious aging population. These older adults and those requiring special medical care also face many oral health problems, such as dry mouth, tooth sensitivity, root caries, and more. How to make these people not suffer from dental disease and enjoy their old age is also a problem. The majority of oral health care workers need to pay attention to the place.
7. Construction of the group medical chain medical system
With the vigorous development of the group's chain medical system, each doctor no longer fights alone. Resource sharing, information exchange, and project integration will inject new vitality into stomatology. In the future, competition among dental medical institutions will be more intense. To be successful, a full range of oral medical services must be provided, including preventive oral care, invisible orthodontics, implants, smile changes and cosmetic dentistry. (veneers, crowns, whitening), oral surgery, anesthesia dentistry, sleep disorder treatment, temporomandibular joint disorders, etc.
8. Easier dental services
Promoting oral health and prevention is a megatrend. Some countries have quietly opened small dental clinics in pharmacies and even supermarkets to provide faster and more convenient oral medical services.
