In India very few people opt for dentistry, but if you really see, there are lot of opportunities in this field and there is huge demand for dentists. According to a survey by the World Health Organization, there is only one dentist for 10,000 people in India. The situation in the village is even more worst as one dentist is serving 2,50,000 people. This clearly shows that the supply of dentists to the demand is not sufficient.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

3. Herodotus was a Greek historian who acknowledged the specializations of
physicians in particular areas of medicine such as dentistry.
The earliest dentist of record was Hesi-Re of Egypt who practiced around 3000
B.C.
Dentistry in the early times consisted of removing teeth when pain occurred.
There was some evidence of drilling holes to relieve an abscessed tooth.
During these early times stones would get mixed in with food.
Chewing grit in food would cause severe wear of the biting surfaces of teeth and possible
pulp exposure.
The Oath of Hippocrates written by the father of medicine, Hippocrates, is still
used in today's medical and dental professions as a standard of care that all in
the profession are expected to uphold.
Aristotle helped bring attention to the importance of oral hygiene.
4. Guy de Chauliac wrote hygienic rules for oral
hygiene.
Many of these rules are still in use today because they
were based on sound logic, such as sticky, sweet foods
can increase dental decay.
Leonardo da Vinci dissected the human skull and
drew illustrations of his findings.
These drawings contributed to the dental profession by
making the distinction between premolars and molars.
5. Pierre Fauchard has been referred to as the founder of modern
dentistry.
He was the first to gather all known information about dentistry and
organize it in a book with step-by-step pictures for each procedure.
He believed that hormonal imbalance caused caries (his term for decay).
He treated teeth by removing caries and by rebuilding the teeth with
materials such as lead, tin, and gold.
He used dental prosthesis and implants to restore teeth and used wires and
devices to straighten teeth.
Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen helped dentists further their knowledge
of the oral cavity and its diseases by discovering X-rays.
6. Robert Woofendale came to the United States from
England and began advertising dental services.
Shortly after his arrival, John Baker also began
advertising about fillings and artificial teeth.
John Baker was well known and one of the dentists
who treated George Washington.
7. John Greenwood was a well respected dental practitioner
and a proponent that children should care for their teeth.
He made George Washington's last set of dentures.
The dentures were made of ivory and gold and had two
springs holding them together.
8. Paul Revere contributed to dentistry by making
artificial teeth and surgical instruments.
He may have trained dentists in the late 1700s.
The dental chair with an arm extension to hold dental
instruments and an adjustable head rest was a major
contribution to dentistry by Josiah Flagg.
He was a skilled surgeon and performed corrective
procedures such as cleft lips, orthodontics, and
endodontics.
9. With the efforts of Horace H. Hayden and Chapin A.
Harris, the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery was
founded in 1840.
It was the first dental college in the world. Both Hayden
and Harris contributed to the knowledge and literature of
the dental profession.
Dr. Samuel D. Harris, whom the museum was named
after, was instrumental in founding the museum.
It is the largest and most complete museum of dental
artifacts and history
10. In the 1800s, dental materials improved.
Dentists were more educated, and new
techniques were developed.
This is the time that James B. Morrison
manufactured the first dental engine with a
functioning handpiece, motor, and foot-treadle.

12. Notable Woman in Dentistry
Lucy Beaman Hobbs was the first woman to graduate
from a recognized dental school.
Robert Tanner Freeman who was the first African-
American man to graduate with a dental degree. Eleven
years later Ida Gray became the first African- American
woman to earn a dental degree.
13. Notable Men in Dentistry
George Franklin Grant also graduated from Harvard
dental school and was an expert on cleft palate.
He may be more well known in the golfing community
however for his invention of the golf tee.
14. American Dental Association
Horace Hayden and Chapin Harris had strong beliefs in the need for sharing
information within the dental profession.
They played a big part in founding a national organization for dentists in the
United States.
Their initial organization evolved into what is now known as the American
Dental Association.
One of the earliest journals in the field of dentistry was the Journal of the
American Dental Association.
The ADA today has organizations in each state; each has a set of ADA-approved
bylaws.
The official publication of the ADA is the American Journal of Dental Science.
16. The Dental TEAM
The overall patient experience and the efficiency of the dental office
depends on the team and how well they perform their specific skills,
roles, and responsibilities.
Many people must WORK TOGETHER to make up the dental team.
Dental team members often attend continued education together.
All members of the dental team need to keep current on knowledge
and skills required for dentistry.
Each member of the team must commit to being a lifelong learning
within the ever-changing field of dentistry.
17. The Dentist
Only half of the dentists practicing during the nineteenth century had a formal education.
The requirements for state regulations began in Alabama in 1841 and by 1899 every state had
enacted laws regulating the practice of dentistry.
Currently 3-4 years of undergraduate work and 4 years of dental school (5 years at Harvard) are
required to achieve a dental degree.
Depending on program emphasis, a doctor of dental surgery (DDS) or a doctor of medical
dentristry (DMD) degree is granted.
Specialty training includes two or more additional years of post-graduate education.
All dentists must take and pass both written and clinical examinations in the states in which they
practice.
All team members are responsible for following the regulations in their state.
Each state’s act specifies what can be performed legally by the dental professional in that state.

institution accredited by the ADA Commission on Dental
Accreditation.
IVCC is 1 of 5 in Illinois
20. Dental Assistants
