It is generally recognized that the knowledge and research base
that underpins dentistry lies in the biological and physical
sciences. In this context, the major advances in these sciences
over the past two decades have come through the application of
molecular bi- ogy and nanotechnology. These advances are currently
impacting on the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of human
diseases and it is essential that dental research, education, and
practice keep pace with this rapidly advancing ?eld. As pointed out
by Ford et al. (1): The de?nition of disease is also changing.
Previously, disease was understood to be the presence of symptoms
or of a particular phenotype. With increasing knowledge of the
genetic basis of many diseases, this de?nition is changing to
become the presence of a genotype conferring a pre-disposition to
clinical symptoms or phenotype (Ford et al. (1)). This changing
de?nition of disease means that today's undergraduate or graduate
student in dentistry (and its related ?elds) must be in a position
not only to acquire new knowledge in the future but also to be able
to evaluate the information and apply it in a clinically relevant
setting. This naturally positions oral biology as an integral part
of any dentally related professional's repertoire of knowledge.
There are as many topics in oral biology as there are the number of
sites and micro- vironments within the oral cavity.
