Contemporary
dentistry may mean different things to different people and different
things to different dentists. Modern or contemporary is a subjective
descriptor.
Quality
similarly is an individual concept. For example, experience has
demonstrated that dental quality for one patient may mean tooth extraction
but to another, dental quality may mean saving the same type tooth with
root canal therapy.

dental practice is in its people, namely items 14 and 10.
