Oral rejuvenation is one of the great challenges and opportunities for dentistry today and into the new millenium. There is an ever-increasing emphasis on good health and youthfulness as well as longevity. More than 60 million Americans are presently over the age of 55. The average life span for women today is 83 and men is nearly 80, and these numbers are rising every year. Millions of these people, however, have worn-out, overloaded, patchwork dentistry inadequate to last them throughout the rest of their lives. Many in this group have the time and can afford to have their mouths rejuvenated with Bioesthetic function. Patients like this exist in almost every dental practice, but are often overlooked. The team concept and interdisciplinary approach is essential for meeting the growing needs for rejuvenating these worn-out dentitions.
