Interdisciplinarity in Dentistry
Why the Engineering Paradigm helps solve complex orofacial problems
🔹 Why this matters
• Complex orofacial cases require cross-disciplinary reasoning.
• It reduces tunnel vision caused by single-discipline assumptions.
• It transforms 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.
