ABSTRACT
Oral health represents a cornerstone of general well-being, closely linked to nutrition, communication, social interaction, and overall quality of life. Despite significant advances in preventive dentistry and therapeutic approaches, oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontal disease remain among the most prevalent chronic conditions worldwide. Contemporary strategies emphasize prevention, early diagnosis, and minimally invasive interventions, while also integrating systemic health considerations and patient-centered care. Recent innovations—including digital technologies, biomaterials, and microbiome-modulating therapies—are reshaping traditional concepts of oral healthcare delivery. Furthermore, the incorporation of personalized medicine, artificial intelligence, and regenerative techniques holds promise for transforming clinical practice into a more predictive, preventive, and precise discipline. This paper provides an updated overview of current trends, highlights the challenges faced in optimizing oral health, and outlines future directions that may redefine both individual patient outcomes and population-level strategies.
