Abstract
Skill mix is a term that has drifted effortlessly into the dental vocabulary over the last few years, but what does it mean to you, and perhaps more importantly what bearing might it have on your dental career? This article and the associated session at the 2016 British Dental Conference and Exhibition will explore dental skill mix from a variety of viewpoints. This includes the historical and wider health care context, challenges and opportunities for clinicians, practices and their patients, and what its significance may be in terms of benefitting oral health at a population level.
