Abstract

Interdisciplinary collaborations have been proven to bring aesthetic, functional and structural advantages from straightforward to complex cases. The result of such approaches is usually the minimal invasiveness of the final prosthetic restorations. When things go smoothly, everyone is winning; the patients, the prosthodontist and the orthodontist. But what happens when things don't go exactly according to plan? Who's to blame? We know that failing is part of our process of becoming better doctors. The way we deal with our own failures can guide our growth or our self-sufficiency. So it's better to approach errors with honesty, critical thinking and resilience. The lecture will present a time-proven, systematic clinical protocol for ortho-prosthetic collaboration and illustrate the long-term advantages it brings to solving complex cases. It will also show different failures in interdisciplinary cases, what went wrong, what could have been prevented, and what we learned from them.
