It then considers how and why dental practice may change over the next 20 years and concludes that by 2032 the small one-dentist practice may well be in the past. It is likely that smaller practices will have to work in some form of association if they are to survive. Although their current model is unstable, corporates are likely to adapt to a changing environment.

To date, over 400 papers have been published in Primary Dental Care, so this has been no small task. I have selected two papers that have looked at the very roots of primary dental care and how it could (and should) evolve. They are the papers ‘Primary Dental Care: Time to Revise the Definition’, which was authored by John Morris, Deborah White and Gill Bradnock and published in the July 2000 edition and ‘A Specialism of Primary Dental Care’, which was authored by Andy Toy and Wayne Richards and published in the January 2004 edition. When read in conjunction with the debate between Roger Mosedale and Paul Batchelor on specialist lists, they make particularly interesting reading. In many respects, it is sad to see that the ideas promoted by Toy and Richards (2004) have been confounded in England and Wales by the dental contract of 2006 and that so little has changed in the last eight years. With so many papers to choose from and limited space available, I have opted to select the abstracts of six other papers, on the grounds that they all report highly relevant studies that were carried out in general dental practice by general dental practitioners.

Have these hopes and expectations that you had 20 years ago been realised? 3. If the original aspirations have been met, what factors made this possible? 4.

The paper describes the rapid rise in the number of elderly people with mental illness and the increasingly dentate older population who pose new challenges for dentists and carers. It considers the different types of care homes for the elderly, challenges, barriers to care and the provision of care in homes for the elderly and those with dementia. It goes on to reflect on the need for training carers, the role of technicians, and costs. It suggests that there is a need to review treatment planning for those in the early stages of mental illness and improve the availability of domiciliary care. There is a need also to review training and support for carers in the maintenance of oral health. Its final suggestion is that all of these issues are pressing and will become more so over the next 20 years as the population ages.</p>","PeriodicalId":79454,"journal":{"name":"Primary dental care : journal of the Faculty of General Dental Practitioners (UK)","volume":"19 3","pages":"123-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1308/135576112802092206","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30981838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
