This commentary describes the changes taking place in dentistry and speculates on improvements that could happen soon. Advances in health care will have an impact on the integration and delivery of oral care; conversely, there is growing acceptance that oral health impacts systemic health. Technological innovations are changing the face of medical care and are quickly becoming integrated into dentistry. Advances in novel antimicrobials, genomics, robotics and artificial intel

The immune system employs a temporal hierarchy of effector mechanisms to combat infections by intracellular pathogens. The nonspecific response is independent of MHC and can be activated rapidly, while the specific response is slower, more specific, and requires major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. MHC-dependent responses have been characterized extensively  in vitro  for antigens presented by polymorphic MHC class la and class II proteins and recognized by T lym

Boswellia  trees, found throughout the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia, are the source of frankincense oil. Since antiquity, frankincense has been traded as a precious commodity, but it has also been used for the treatment of chronic disease, inflammation, oral health, and microbial infection. More recently, the bioactive components of  Boswellia  trees have been identified and characterized for their effects on cancer, microbial infection (especially infection by or

The  history of dental treatments  dates back to thousands of years. [1] [2]  The scope of this article is limited to the pre-1981  history . The earliest known example of  dental caries  manipulation is found in a  Paleolithic  man, dated between 14,160 and 13,820  BP . [3]  The earliest known use of a  filling  after removal of decayed or infected  pulp  is found in a Paleolithic who lived near modern-day  Tuscany , Italy, from 13,000 to 12,740 BP.
