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 makes this approach less appealing to dentists. With the expansion of digital technology in dentistry, we could overcome some of these barriers. Digital dentistry helps facilitate easier communication among interdisciplinary team members as well as reducing costs associated with planning interdisciplinary care. This presentation will explore new approaches to interdisciplinary treatment planning that leverage digital technology while still adhering to conventional interdisciplinary treatment planning methods.

At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to::

• Follow the sequence of developing a comprehensive interdisciplinary treatment plan.
• Know how to integrate digital records in developing an interdisciplinary treatment plan.
• Understand how digital treatment planning software packages and dental 3D printing help with interdisciplinary team collaboration along with incorporation of patient feedback to finalize a well-rounded interdisciplinary treatment plan.
