Treatment planning in restorative dentistry and implant prosthodontics 2020: - Author: Antonio H.C. Rodrigues. - Publisher: Quintessence Publishing. Book outlines: - Treatment planning is commonly considered one of the most important phases of any dental treatment and is vital for achieving successful long-term results. - However, most dental schools do not offer courses exclusively designed for comprehensive planning, and comprehensive planning is rarely discussed at scientific meetings because it is considered a basic topic that practitioners should already understand. - This knowledge gap leaves practicing clinicians with few options beyond using their own intuition to solve problems, which is highly unpredictable. - Therefore, this book presents clinical guidelines for planning treatments in restorative dentistry and outlines a clear, objective, and simple thinking process that can be easily applied in daily practice, essentially providing the reader with a roadmap to be used as a reference from the very initial procedures until final restorative treatment. - Part 1 describes how to identify existing problems by gathering, organizing, and analyzing information obtained during clinical examination. - Examination checklists and forms are included to ensure that no important information is left out during the evaluation process. - Part 2 focuses on providing solutions to identified problems via restorative treatment options, highlighting the use of implant-supported restorations in the treatment of both partially and completely edentulous arches. - Part 3 details how to present treatment options to the patient and includes aspects related to patient education, treatment plan presentation, and obtaining informed consent from the patient. - Altogether, this book will transform the way you treat your cases.
