This presentation reviews current approaches to the prevention and control of the 3 main noncommunicable oral diseases and how changing demographics, preferences, and concerns can potentially impact current preventive approaches.

Formerly called The Percy T. Phillips Visiting Professorship, the program was launched during the fall of 1980 and has featured a veritable Who's Who of leaders in dentistry. The program is a leadership development project intended to raise institutional awareness of contemporary issues in dentistry. It is important that students, faculty and alumni learn to manage the professional challenges they will encounter in both the near and distant future.
The Visiting Professor and topic are chosen each year based on nominations solicited by an Advisory Committee, which consists of alumni and faculty representatives and corporate partners. The Professor serves as a guide to the dental students and residents who have been selected as the Student Scholars, and to the faculty members chosen as mentors to these students.
The event includes a keynote presentation by the Visiting Professor as well as interactive seminars based on the program topic, and are presented by dental students and residents who have been selected as the Student Scholars.
Columbia University College of Dental Medicine is located in the Columbia University Irving Medical Center in Washington Heights, New York City.
