Rehabilitation, attainment and maintenance of a well functioning
masticatory apparatus in an adult would require close involvement of all
the dental specialities as they are very intimately and intricately
related. An interdisciplinary approach that integrates the knowledge,
skill and experience of the dental specialists is very essential for
drawing a comprehensive treatment plan. The need for comprehensive
treatment plan is far more greater, now with the increase in life
expectancy, better health awareness and higher social standards.
Interdisciplinary Periodontics shows this integration which all go hand
in hand for the best possible results for the patients.
