Abstract
Sustainability within and of processes in systems comprised of optimal long-lasting clinical therapeutics is key to the premise and privilege of the practice of interdisciplinary dentistry and medicine, and by implication, the entire healthcare sector.Given the current rapid ever-changing genomic and phenotypic complexities in systemic and oral health models, with exponential global growing demand, accurate oral health diagnosis and staging justifies the theoretical foundation for the ideal reproducible optimal physiological outcome, with intrinsic naturally functional demand, and maintenance, thereby reducing co-morbidities. And hence, sustainable.The interaction of all actors and transactions in the healthcare sector with dependent and independent variables, will invoke short- and long-term generation of clinical therapeutics and products in the healthcare space.The balance of forces between all participants in respective subsectors in the healthcare space, illustrated by 360healthcareTM analysis, marks the clinical success or failure to promote and enhance health from individual to population health metrics, emphasizing the Sustainability Index.Research. development and market launch of clinical protocols and healthcare products rest within the general comprehensive perspective and actions of all healthcare subsectors. This rests on the premise requirement of healthcare experts leading and setting the parameters of scope, goals and conduct in the sector and market place. Sustainability Index is a litmus test, much like Therapeutic Index and Toxicity Index
