Make clinical decisions on the basis of the best available clinical research evidence, i.e. to provide "evidence-based patient care";
Evaluate and integrate evolving biotechnological advances into dental practice;
Plan and provide patient care within the context of health promotion and disease prevention;
Originate and/or implement solutions to the oral health care access disparities;
Provide care to underserved and multiculturally diverse patient populations.
