Mai come oggi, un approccio multidisciplinare in Odontoiatria trova una sua validazione e necessità

Nel rapporto con il paziente odontoiatrico non è più sufficiente curare la patologia ma è necessario prendersi cura della persona, che è fatta di corpo, mente, emozioni e vissuti. La comunicazione con il paziente è a tutti gli effetti un momento di cura e quando la relazione è efficace: aumenta l'aderenza alle terapie, diminuisce la tensione per la prestazione odontoiatrica, si riducono i contenziosi medico-legali, migliora il clima umano nello studio, diminuiscono le forme di demotivazione professionale.
