Indian dentistry: Today and tomorrow

[摘要] India is emerging as a young intelligent country with youth population of 65% below 35 years of age. These demographics of population will have a great impact on global economics as well as Indian economics. Apart from other professions which will have an impact on economics, medical and dental professions have a major role to play in terms of Indian economy. In 2004, the dentist population in India was 1:30,000 according to World Health Statistics. In 2014, the ratio was 1:10,000.[1] Thus, these statistical ratio suggests that there is still not enough number of dentists in India.
