Abstract

One revolutionary development that sticks out as we consider dentistry’s future is the use of genomics in dental treatment. Genetic science advancements are making it possible to move away from a one-size-fits-all strategy and towards one that customises therapy for each patient. This development, sometimes known as precision or personalised dentistry, holds great potential for bettering
patient outcomes by providing a route to more focused prevention, precise diagnosis, and customised treatment regimens.
