Description

This book provides essential knowledge for creating treatment plans for adult dental patients. Treatment planning strategies are presented to help with balancing the ideal with the practical, with emphasis placed on the central role of the patient — whose needs should drive the treatment planning process. The focus is on planning of treatment, not on the comprehensive details of every treatment modality in dentistry.

Key features

  • What's the Evidence? boxes link clinical decision-making and treatment planning strategies to current research.
  • In Clinical Practice boxes highlight specific clinical situations faced by the general dentist.
  • Review Questions and Suggested Projects, located at the end of each chapter, summarize and reinforce important concepts presented in the book.
  • Key Terms and Glossary highlights the terms that are most important to the reader.
