Holistic or biologic dentistry: Future alternative or not

Abstract

Holistic dentistry is also called Progressive dentistry, biologic dentistry, or biocompatible dentistry. Holistic dentistry is a new alternative branch of traditional dentistry where it deals with the unrecognized impact of oral health on the overall health of the person. This new idea of dentistry strongly opposes some of the treatment modalities of traditional dentistry. Although the concept and practise has brought about a revolution but some of the complementary methods followed by holistic dentists under criticism.
