Abstract: Interdisciplinary dental care is regaining attention in the field of dentistry as we are trending from focusing on single tooth dentistry to providing personalized dental care. The traditional process of developing an interdisciplinary treatment plan has been clearly defined for many years. However, the time-consuming communication process among the interdisciplinary team often hinders providers from offering comprehensive interdisciplinary treatment. Additionally, the cost associated with some of the steps in the conventional interdisciplinary treatment planning make this approach less appealing to dentists. With the expansion of digital technology in dentistry, we could overcome some of these barriers. Digital dentistry helps facilitating easier communication among the interdisciplinary team members as well as reducing costs associated with planning the interdisciplinary care. This presentation will explore new approaches to interdisciplinary treatment planning that leverages digital technology while still adhering to the conventional interdisciplinary treatment planning methods.
