Abstract

“Nothing is permanent except change”. Education is an open system that changes over time based on the needs of the stakeholders. If it stops to change, the system will fail. The dental profession needs to upgrade itself with newer aspects in dental education. The upgrade should involve all steps in the curriculum. For the process of upgrading to be successful, the faculty members need to be trained adequately in the curricular change area. The future of dental profession relies on upgrading the dental education.
