Interdisciplinary Dentofacial Therapy: A Comprehensive Approach to Optimal Patient Care

Interdisciplinary Dentofacial Therapy: A Comprehensive Approach to Optimal Patient Care by Roblee, Richard D.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780867151886.

Todays dental practice requires an interdisciplinary approach that integrates the knowledge, skills, and experience of all the disciplines of dentistry and its associated fields into comprehensive treatment to maximize results. Interdisciplinary Dentofacial Therapy presents, for the first time, the philosophy and methodology needed to blend a diverse group of professionals into a cohesive team. Complex and rapid scientific and technological advances have made it difficult for dental practitioners to stay current in one field, let alone more than one. An interdisciplinary approach is necessary for best utilizing new and existing techniques to decrease practitioner frustration and increase patient benefits. Interdisciplinary Dentofacial Therapy presents many cases in which an interdisciplinary approach provided the best possible solutions for both simple and complex dentofacial problems. Thus, it serves as a comprehensive reference for interdisciplinary team members. It shows how to set up and coordinate team therapy, using the latest advances in dental techniques and materials to greatest advantage, and how team members can communicate most effectively with each other, as well as with their patients.
