Abstract:
Inclusion is an essential part of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Dentistry's history has been such that the profession has experienced inclusion and exclusion, sometimes by choice and sometimes by the actions of others. This study reviews the concept of inclusion in the context of the current need to create inclusive environments for a workforce that is culturally and structurally sound to serve all patients, including the underrepresented or marginalized, in integrated health care. Additionally, this article serves as an introductory roadmap to the papers in this Dental Clinics of North America issue discussing components of inclusivity in dentistry.
