RÉSUME - The Dentistry's future III
Research - The future is now
Continuing the proposal of thinking about the future of Dentistry on ABO Journal Magazine pages, the third edition of this special series on this matter focuses Brazilian dental research, its current scenery and its main perspectives. Apparently, the current text approaches a topic very different from the two previous ones that talked about the ideal of providing oral health to everybody and the importance of promoting health as from the early life, but they intercross in a very important aspect.
That is because after getting to a good quantitative and qualitative level, the Brazilian scientific production in Dentistry has now the challenge of converting its positive results in real benefits for the entire population, promoting oral health to everybody.
To reach this target, as well as to continue following the technological and scientific innovations and enhance international recognition, researchers, teaching institutions and the private sector should think, debate and act now, since future gains will be the result from a long and persevering walk.
On next pages, the subject is presented by important names of the Brazilian research: Flávio Fava de Moraes, José Luiz Lage-Marques, Jaime Cury, Silvio and Monica Duailibi, Maria Fidela de Lima Navarro and Mayana Zatz. |
