Abstract
This prospective cohort study compare interdisciplinary versus conventional single-specialty approaches in managing complex dental conditions among 240 patients. The interdisciplinary group showed significantly higher treatment success (92.5% vs. 78.3%), greater patient satisfaction, and reduced treatment duration (14.2 vs. 18.7 weeks). Cost-effectiveness improved by 15.8% despite higher coordination costs. Complication rates were lower (8.3% vs. 16.7%) in the interdisciplinary group. Findings support integrated, multi-specialty collaboration for superior dental care outcomes.
