Abstract

 What went wrong… Analyzing Collateral Damage in interdisciplinary Dentistry

Ricardo Mitrani, DDS,. MSD

Interdisciplinary dentistry represents the state of the art of any clinical setting, but when coordination falters, the consequences can be profound. In this lecture, Dr. Ricardo Mitrani examines what went wrong through three recurring “modes of failure”:

  • failure to communicate
  • failure to plan
  • failure to execute

Drawing from real clinical cases, he exposes how subtle disconnects among patients and specialists can lead to esthetic challenges, biological compromise, functional inefficiency, and emotional distress for both patients and teams. More importantly, the lecture presents a practical framework for anticipating these pitfalls and cultivating clarity, sequence, and accountability within interdisciplinary collaboration. The goal: to turn failure into feedback, and complexity into coherent, patient-centered care.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify the three primary “modes of failure” in interdisciplinary treatment and recognize their clinical and relational consequences.
  • Analyze real-world case scenarios to understand how communication and sequencing errors compound into collateral damage.
  • Apply practical strategies to enhance diagnostic alignment, team coordination, and leadership within complex restorative teams.

 

 

TERMINAL DENTITION…Where do we draw the line???”

Ricardo Mitrani, DDS,. MSD

For over a decade, the term “Terminal Dentition”, has unquestionably gained a lot of traction in the dental community, and it implies that there is a need to remove a patient’s remaining dentition. But how do we reach such stage or conclusion? Does it mean the same to everybody?

The reality is that the term Terminal Dentition is actually a “dentist made term”.

Of the same token, until this day, there seems to be confusion among dental practitioners as to what is the ideal prosthetic solution for these patients.

This presentation will discuss a linear thought process that allows the treating team to decide when to choose to give up hope on the remaining dentition and how to decide among the different restorative designs available.

Learning Objectives:

  • Review a Treatment Planning algorithm that allows the clinical team to follow a linear thought process in assessing the remaining dentition.
  • Review a simple Classification (LTR Classification) that helps identify the patient´s condition and therefore decide the ideal treatment design for each given patient.
  • Improve communication amongst the treating team.
