Integrative dental management of complex patients: a comprehensive care case report

Alaa Mohamed Eltaweel, Reem A. Hassanin

Abstract


This Comprehensive Care Case (CCC) report represented a detailed diagnosis and treatment plan to manage a complex dental patient who came to the outdoor dental clinic of the faculty of dentistry, Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport in Alamein (AAST). Fatma, a 32-year-old female patient, had been presented with continuous dental pain, improper dental functions, and an aesthetic problem. The staff team, comprising specialists in different dental departments supervised this case with the undergraduate student. Together, they have tailored a treatment plan that integrated cumulative phases. Outcomes were assessed through both radiographical and clinical metrics as well as patient-reported outcomes, demonstrating significant improvements in pain relief, dental functions, and aesthetics. This case illustrated the effectiveness of collaborative care models in addressing the complex clinical challenges with an optimum treatment plan that meets the patient's needs and satisfaction.

It also highlighted the importance of departmental cooperation, social communication, and the role of the university in community service. Our findings contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting comprehensive care strategies for complex patients, suggesting implications for clinical practice and future research.
