I called a couple of schools this week, and they warned me to be up to date with dental current events because they will likely be asked/brought up during the interview. I cannot think of any, can you please post any ideas, topics, etc.

Oh by the way, the schools were Nova and Case.

Dentistry with more gov't oversight

Advanced Dental Hygienists who can practice with greater scope

Dental Technicians in places like Alaska who increase access to care but are not Dental school trained

Increased use of Tomograph imagery in place of radiographs

Systemic health indicators in saliva

Changes in dental educational model to more closely resemble medical teaching models

Movement towards Nationally standardized clinical boards

Removal of actual patient practice as a means for clinical boards

PGY1

That's the tip of the barrel. I didn't mention much in the way of actual clinical dentistry stuff, cause I'd be surprised if they actually cared if you knew that stuff...you're not a dentist yet.
