During recent years a significant amount of evidence has been produced on the pathogenesis and risk factors of oral disease and its association with systemic diseases and general health.

Customized oral health care is cost effective individualized strategies for oral diseases. The goals of Customized oral health care are to determine a person’s susceptibility or risk of developing disease, establishing a diagnosis, determining disease patterns and prognosis, determining appropriate interventions, predicting and monitoring therapeutic response, and predicting an individual’s response to environmental and microbial challenges.
