Patients with a variety of diseases in the oro-facial region are frequently confused when trying to decide from which of the professions of medicine and dentistry to seek treatment. Furthermore, during the process of arriving at a diagnosis, numerous practitioners and specialists in both professions may be called in for consultation, thus adding to the dilemma. Four cases are reported in this article to illustrate the problem, and some conclusions are drawn as to how it may be minimized albeit not completely solved.
患有口腔面部各种疾病的患者在试图决定向医学和牙科哪个专业寻求治疗时常常感到困惑。此外，在诊断过程中，两个专业的众多从业者和专家可能会被召集来进行会诊，这就加剧了这种困境。本文报告了四个病例来说明这个问题，并就如何将其最小化（尽管不能完全解决）得出了一些结论。
