E-orthodontics 2002

The orthodontic specialty in Australia and New Zealand is at the forefront of the profession in evidence basing, efficacy and education, but cannot rest on its laurels. The future will require further changes in each area. Changes in evidence basing and education (particularly mandatory CPD) are likely to be government driven in the coming decade. Changes in efficacy may well be the area of most dramatic change in the medium term future and, as always, will be driven by the profession and technology.
