Multidisciplinary Team Approach

A patient with diagnosed MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes) syndrome had developed psychological and behavioural disturbances at a later stage of his illness. Psychiatric care for this patient would not be possible without a multidisciplinary team approach involving multi-prong interventions from the different team members.

The Aesthetic

Fractured and missing teeth within the aesthetic zone have always posed a clinical challenge for the dental team. Management and treatment requires the input from a number of dental specialists to guarantee a high quality result. A case report is presented to demonstrate an effective combined orthodontic/restorative approach that fully restored aesthetics and function. The report is of a 14-year-old girl who traumatized her maxillary central incisors, in a dentition that was already compromised as she had congenital absence of her maxillary left lateral incisor. Using fixed orthodontic appliances, the fractured teeth were extruded to bring the fracture line above the level of the alveolar bone. This movement allowed an immediate aesthetic improvement, using stainless steel prefabricated posts and composite resin buildups, which also facilitated further orthodontic tooth movement. Teeth, that would otherwise have been extracted, were salvaged and, utilizing a multidisciplinary team approach, a reasonable long-term prognosis has resulted. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This case report aims to demonstrate how a multidisciplinary team approach in Orthodontics can be utilized for management of severely handicapped dentitions that have sustained dental injury. It is not the aim of this case report to discuss the treatment of dental injuries but to demonstrate and provide an overview of the possible treatment modalities that can be effective in restoring function and aesthetics, with special consideration given to missing teeth and subgingival crown fractures within the aesthetic zone.

Background. Alpha II antiplasmin is a protein involved in the inhibition of fibrinolysis. A deficiency in this protein leads to increased hemorrhage. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion.Case. 30-year-old Gravida 1, Para 0, presented for prenatal care with her first and subsequently her second pregnancy. Her medical history was significant for a known deficiency in alpha II antiplasmin. Her first and second pregnancies were complicated by nonobstetrical hemorrhage requiring transfusions and severe preeclampsia requiring preterm deliveries.Conclusion. Alpha II antiplasmin deficiency resulted in multiple episodes of nonobstetrical hemorrhages requiring transfusion and ultimately preterm deliveries due to severe preeclampsia. Both infants and mother had a good outcome. The presence of this disorder may require a multidisciplinary team approach involving obstetricians, pediatricians, and hematologists.Precis. Alpha II antiplasmin deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder leading to increased fibrinolysis and hemorrhage. We present a case report of a pregnancy complicated by this disorder.

Subjective Judgments

In an attempt to analyze the assumption that a multidisciplinary team approach is necessary for identification and evaluation of LD students, this study was designed to a) examine the type of judgments on LD characteristics rendered by different team members, and b) explore which of the groups typically represented on a staffing team was most homogeneous in making decisions on LD students. A sample of 420 professionals and 30 parents were asked to complete a component disability instrument developed for the purpose of obtaining subjective judgments from each of the professional groups and the parents. The consistency of judgment among groups found in this study indicated that the judgments of the groups were comparable when making judgments on LD and non-LD characteristics. Thus, the findings were supportive of the multidisciplinary approach to identification and evaluation of LD children and youth.
