Genetics: The Future Is Now with Interprofessional Collaboration

Debra S Regier et al. Dent Clin North Am. 2016 Oct.

Abstract

With the growing complexity of health care, interprofessional communication and collaboration are essential to optimize the care of dental patients, including consideration of genetics. A dental case exemplifies the challenges and benefits of an interprofessional approach to managing pediatric patients with oligodontia and a family history of colon cancer. The interprofessional team includes dental, genetic, nutritional, and surgical experts.
