Letter to Editor: the necessity of a comprehensive response to the number and composition of oral healthcare teams in Iran using the system dynamics approach

Background: considering the limitations of analytical models, it is recommended that modelling methods be used to solve complex social issues. dynamic modelling helps policymakers to have a better understanding of system behavior. in health systems, considering the available resources and impact of decisions plays a key role in improving health. the lack of a dynamic and systematic attitude sometimes ignores the impacts, and the results are not desirable despite the cost. considering the current situation, in this article, it is strongly recommended that a system dynamics approach be adopted to improve the health of society. methods: using different articles, the use of modelling with a system dynamics approach has been introduced and emphasized. results: studies indicate the promising role of modelling with a system dynamics approach in the cost-effective improvement of oral health. conclusion: it is suggested that oral health decision-makers should focus on applying existing data and using them in system dynamics modelling to forecast and predict new policies before implementing them at the community level.
