Unleashing the Healing Potential: The Interdisciplinary Nexus of Maxillofacial Surgery, Periodontology and Patient Psychological Benefits
Main Article Content
Abstract
Contemporary Evidence has helped us realize that interdisciplinary approaches, as opposed to individualized periodontal approaches, are needed for most patients with a variety of dental or medical treatment needs. Increased life expectancy, better-quality biomaterials used in dentistry, and the quick evolution of clinical techniques have resulted in more complex treatment options and more exacting patient demands. It necessitates integrated management. This review aims to highlight the advantageous interprofessional relationship between periodontists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons, particularly in the context of dental education and clinical multidisciplinary groups, by specifically addressing maxillofacial science and its connection to periodontics. Through this relationship, a healthy referral protocol could be created to benefit patients psychologically.
