Virtual Collaborative Interdisciplinary Treatment Planning

In the current era that necessitates minimizing direct contact with patients and colleagues, virtual treatment planning and consultations are becoming increasingly important in health care delivery. In his presentation, Dr. Kapila will discuss the use of 3D segmented models derived from CBCT in virtual planning orthodontic and interdisciplinary treatments involving restorative, implant, surgical, tooth retrieval and other complex procedures across disciplines. The software platform utilized lends itself to concurrent virtual treatment planning with other providers and virtual consultations with patients- an approach that is highly pertinent in the era of COVID-19. Further, the use of this virtual interdisciplinary platform not only enhances the precision and customization of care but contributes to increased efficiency and outcomes of treatment. These reasons make the 3D virtual interdisciplinary treatment planning approach an important and an increasingly integral part of individualized therapy in complex orthodontic and interdisciplinary care.
