Interdisciplinary Approach For Better Esthetic Results
The lower one-third of the face has a major impact on the perception of facial esthetics, and the role of a beautiful smile design not only changes the smile alone but also the overall facial appearance. By improving deficient facial proportion and integumental form, surgeons, orthodontists, periodontists, and restorative dentists have the unique opportunity to weave these esthetic needs and the creation of a pleasing smile into the fabric of their comprehensive treatment planning.
To achieve the ultimate goal of minimally invasive dentistry, maximum and predictable communication among the interdisciplinary team (in contrast to multidisciplinary) cannot be overemphasized. With an interdisciplinary approach, treatment planning is accomplished with all treatment team members present, and all treatment challenges can be discussed in a collaborative environment with team members complementing and supporting the efforts of each other. On the other hand, with a multidisciplinary approach, each discipline of dentistry is involved in just one aspect of the treatment, without necessarily working together in a unified manner.
