sciences and clinical data. In dentistry, these three components are also necessary to ensure the quality of professional dental practice. Several medical and dental problems can be explained by using basic science foundations (Dennis, 2010). Basic biomedical sciences and general medicine can help dentists to acknowledge and address the needs and problems of the whole patient (Baum, 2007).
