Consistent with this mission and vision, the Harvard
Successful Leadership Forum School of Dental Medicine hosted its sixth Leadership
Forum in October 2014 with the theme: “Put Your
Money Where Your Mouth is: The Economic Imperative
of Oral Health.” the forum brought together leaders
outside the dental community, including insurers,
business leaders, economists, and public health experts,
to explore the costly impact of poor oral health care on
overall health especially chronic disease.
The goals for greater integration of dental and medical
education and practice recommended by the 1995
Institute of Medicine (IOM) report “Dental Education at
the Crossroads”1 and the 2001 Surgeon General’s Report
on Oral Health2 remain elusive. New options for preven-
tion, diagnosis, and therapy based upon advances in oral
biology and craniofacial research are poised to produce
new and better options for patient care. Reuniting the
