Embracing Personalised Medicine in Dentistry

Abstract

: Personalized medicine is a progressing area in which physicians use diagnostic tests to identify particular biological markers, often genetic, that aid in describing which medical treatments, as well as technique, will work best for each patient. In today's science, researchers are rapidly emerging and using diagnostic tests in medical diagnosis based on genomic, proteomics, and metabolomics to enhance and prophesy patient's reactions to targeted therapy. This area designated as "personalized medicine" conglomerates human genome, information technology, and biotechnology with nanotechnology to provide cure based on specific difference set against population trends.

Aim: To evaluate the knowledge with regard to precise risk factors compromising the novel concepts of genetics to enable different medical facilities to individual who pertaining require it and improve patient’s oral health.

Objectives: To assess the knowledge with regard to precise risk factors compromising the novel concepts of genetics to enable different medical facilities to individual who pertaining require it and improve patient’s oral health. To assess the knowledge of undergraduate dental students with regard to precise risk factors compromising the novel concepts of genetics to enable different medical facilities to individual who pertaining require it and improve patient’s oral health.

Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 201 dental students, comprising 63 males (31.3%) and 138 females (68.7%), including. The survey included 14 questions exploring the knowledge about embracing personalized medicine in dentistry among health care students were analyzed based on gender, age and year of study using chi-square tests to identify statistically significant differences.
