Throughout 2023, I had the opportunity to follow and complete a series of postgraduate courses in management, regulation, bioethics and defence/cybersecurity.
At the same time, as part of my consultancy activities, I regularly take part in a series of webinars on wide-ranging topics with leading figures from all areas of knowledge, from companies, universities, the environment, digital, public health, regulation, security and defense, the independent practice of professions, among others.
Having not practiced clinically for some years now, I nevertheless feel even more like a dentist, more capable of writing this chronicle in which I will try to symbolically identify 24 trends that I believe will be decisive for global dentistry in 2024.
In the collaboration that I have renewed with O’JornalDentistry over the course of this year, I will develop some of these trends in a monthly chronicle, with an approach in which I will try to bring a different angle to all those who are interested in following the health sector and dentistry.
As usual, these chronicles will be written in Portuguese and translated into English. A greeting and thanks to the publisher Hermínia Guimarães and to the readers who receive them or look for them all over the world and who have encouraged us to renew this project where I collaborate pro bono.
These trends have been grouped in alphabetical order, due to my personal inability to organise them in any other way.
You can read the full article, in Portuguese or English, in the Portuguese monthly edition of Dentistry magazine:
