Abstract
Recently, the importance of a team approach in dentistry and speech lanauge pathology has been emphasized. The two fields of dentistry and Speech-Language pathology differ in curriculum, training, and practice, but have something in common with the stomatognathic system, which governs the function of mastication, swallowing, and speech production. Therefore, identifying clinical areas where dentistry and speech therapy can collaborate and establishing a co-operative framework will enable patients to receive integrated, consistent evaluation and treatment and provide effective and best results. This study mentioned roles and importance in the area of experts in both fields and discussed team approaches that can interact with them.
