The philosophy T that dentistry is a branch of medicine directs our education and practice. In fact, our mission is HSDM Launches an Initiative to develop and foster a community of global leaders dedicated to improving human health by integrating dentistry and medicine at the forefront of education, to Integrate Oral Health research, and patient care. Our vision is to transform dentistry by removing the distinction between oral and and Primary Care after systemic health. Consistent with this mission and vision, the Harvard School of Dental Medicine hosted its sixth Leadership Successful Leadership Forum Forum in October 2014 with the theme: “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth is: The Economic Imperative of Oral Health.” the forum brought together leaders outside the dental community, including insurers, business leaders, economists, and public health experts, to explore the costly impact of poor oral health care on overall health especially chronic disease. The goals for greater integration of dental and medical education and practice recommended by the 1995 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report “Dental Education at the Crossroads”1 and the 2001 Surgeon General’s Report on Oral Health2 remain elusive. New options for prevention, diagnosis, and therapy based upon advances in oral biology and craniofacial research are poised to produce new and better options for patient care.
