    (Selçuk Üniversitesi, 2021) Yagci, Filiz; Ozturk, Taner
    Background: Prosthodontics and orthodontics are disciplines which frequently need communication during treatments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the interdisciplinary relationship to reveal the most-commonly consulted subjects between departments of prosthodontics and orthodontics in a faculty of dentistry by examining consultation notes. Methods: Consultation notes of 900 patients who were treated at the Departments of Prosthodontics and Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry at Erciyes University, were evaluated. The reasons for the referral of 377 patients from the prosthodontics clinic to the orthodontics clinic, and for the referral of 523 patients from the orthodontics clinic to the prosthodontics clinic were investigated. Furthermore, the frequency of the consultations that were required by specialists and post-graduate students were determined. The data were analyzed using Pearson Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact tests. Results: The most common reason for consultations was the assessment of the space for implant treatment (prosthodontics to orthodontics: n = 161, 42.7%, and orthodontics to prosthodontics: n = 255, 48.8%). It was determined that the postgraduate students ask for a consultation for many more reasons than did the specialists (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Interdisciplinary relationships were determined from the consultation notes between prosthodontics and orthodontics clinics. According to the results of the present study, it was seen that implant placement sites and esthetic restorations were the basic issues for the interdisciplinary relationship between the two departments. Furthermore, the information provided by the study is thought to be useful for the education of post-graduate students.
