AB In  1840,  the  Baltimore  College  of  Dental  Surgery  was  founded  as  the  world’s  first  dental  school,  establishing  the  Doctor  of  Dental  Surgery  degree.  Twenty-six  years  later,  Harvard  University  Dental  School,  the  first  dental  school  with  a  University  affiliation  began  to  offer  the  Dentariae  Medicinae  Doctorae  degree,  thus  establishing  the  current  paradigm  of  dental  education  and  the  practice  of  dentistry  as  an  autonomous  domain,  completely  detached  from  the  medical  education  and  the  practice  of  medicine.1  Over  time,  these  domains  evolved  into  two  distinct  industries,  artificially  detaching  oral  and  systemic  health  in  a  manner  that  does  not  emulate  the  biological  reality.  The  separation  of  dentistry  and  medicine  had  important  repercussions  that  continue  to  affect  public  health  and  healthcare  delivery  both  in  the  United  States  and  globally.
