Interdisciplinarity in Dentistry
Why the Engineering Paradigm helps solve complex orofacial problems
🔹 Why this matters
• Complex orofacial cases need cross-disciplinary reasoning.
• Reduces tunnel vision from single-discipline assumptions.
• Turns anomalies into design inputs for better care.
📘 What you’ll learn
• How interdisciplinary “scaffolds” improve communication.
• Examples of neuro-occlusal co-diagnostics.
• Practical takeaways for team-based rehabilitation.
The “Engineering Paradigm”: connecting disciplines as a network.
