When will India be Dental Super power
India has made its place as an IT superpower. What do you think is situation in dental profession? A friend of mine Dr Sanjeev Sharma, who is now a leading dentist in USA, on visit to India remarked "India has failed to market dentistry".
Two observations from him, one that movie goers are now happily paying 150 in multiplex theaters (from 25 before) but dentists are still struggling. Another thing that shocked him was some of his dentist friends had calculus and stains on their front teeth, on being questioned they said "chalta hai". This attitude can not go on it has to change. Now it is well established that oral cavity can spread bacteria in the system round the clock which will damage general health beyond repair, you can see details HERE
Everyone is eying orthodontics, looks like a very lucrative field to practice and train, yes also for research. OrthoAccel's proprietary technology accelerates the changes in bone structure that result from orthodontic treatment. OrthoAccel said its device cuts in half the treatment time required for braces, and can be used with all existing orthodontic bracket technologies. That is "Great smile in Half the time".
The company expects to begin human clinical studies at the University of Texas Dental Branch at Houston in late spring 2008.
Dr Ashok Dhoble is working very hard and using his position as Hon Secretary of Indian Dental Association to do his best for profession. We need to strengthen his hands by making generous financial contributions and support his efforts. He has also launched a special publication for public education "Oral Health" it will be available to all dentists and they can place it in their waiting room.
