ABSTRACT
With existing proficient experienced dental clinicians and new skilled dentists passing out every year from numerous government and private dental colleges in the country, India has plenty of dental professionals cantering the needs of ever growing Indian population. With the advent of specialization courses and MDS degree, post graduate dental professionals are limiting their practice to a single discipline and focusing on a running a super-specialty practice rather than inter-disciplinary approach to dental practice. Inter-disciplinary approach involves several disciplines collectively identifying a problem, collaboratively diagnosis the condition and devising and executing a treatment plan in coalition. Advantages of multispeciality clinics for doctors include division of capital, easier diagnosis, better and easier treatment, easier to maintain records of all the types of treatments performed on the patients, easier management of mid-treatment complications and sharing of knowledge amongst the dentists. Patient is benefited by a better treatment. Patient does not have to visit several dentists for the treatment and get the entire treatment done under one roof thus maximizing patient comfort. Multispeciality dental clinic is currently the need of the society.
