As the landscape of healthcare continues to evolve, so does the professional and ethical responsibility within the dental community. Research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is indicating that vulnerable individuals with high levels of inflammation are at an elevated risk for countless co-dependent systemic diseases. Now is the time to reassess the vision we have for our profession by critically inspecting the role our protocols must play in mitigating and controlling systemic disease. We must revisit our foundational knowledge while rising up to meet the societal demands of the dental industry in this new decade of developing protocols with clear, 20/20 vision.
