In a recent report assessing dentistry in the year 2000 (Kaldenberg et al 1990), a distinguished panel of experts representing all aspects of the profession listed computerized diagnosis and treatment planning as one of the innovations that was widely cited and discussed during their forum. This is but one reference to what is now becoming a frequently forecasted component of future dental practice. Until recently, however, computerized diagnosis and treatment planning was considered farfetched and “ideal but impractical” by many in dental circles looking at trends that would influence the way practice would evolve in the next Century. One fact is evident, however: we are educating dentists today who will spend the vast majority of their practice lifetimes well into the next Century, and we are not preparing them for the technological revolution and knowledge explosion that they will experience. |
