CHESTER W. DOUGLASS, D.M.D., PH.D. and CHERILYN G. SHEETS, D.D.S.

Background. This article examines trends in patient demographics and dental disease patterns. Data suggest the patient expectations about oral health are increasing, as is their knowledge of oral health services.

Clinical Implications. Changing patient demographics and technological advances will lead to higher patient expectations and greater demands for oral health care in the 21st century than they had been during most of the 20th century.
