Nowadays, many dental clinics already have a multidisciplinary team and in our opinion this is something to grow. The greatest beneficiary of a multidisciplinary approach is the patient, but to create and execute comprehensive treatment plans that solve patients' problems and expectations, subsequently leading to consistent long-term results, demands clear communication among the team.
