Diagnosis and Treatment Planning in Dentistry


Listen Later

A comprehensive overview of diagnosis and treatment planning in dentistry, focusing on structured patient care. The text establishes the foundational elements of treatment, which involve a phased approach—including systemic, acute, disease control, definitive, and maintenance phases—to manage both complex and routine patient needs. Key topics addressed include the importance of evidence-based decision-making, the necessary components of a thorough oral examination (including occlusion and caries detection), and detailed discussions of specific dental conditions like pulpal and periodontal diseases. Furthermore, the material explores critical factors that modify treatment, such as systemic health, psychological disorders, substance abuse, and patient-specific needs across different populations like adolescents and the elderly, while also covering ethical and legal considerations in patient management.
