title: The shape of things to come?
abstract: This fourth paper in the Future of Dentistry series examines the future of dental practice, particularly in terms of the National Health Service. David Watson-James' vision is, he explains, intrinsically linked to past and present developments in dentistry and as the last 50 years has seen dental practice largely influenced by the creation of the NHS, he looks at its importance and relevance in years to come.
