Dental CE Course: Course I - Treatment Planning I: Diagnostically Driven

This course is designed to focus on the four essential components in the decision making process: esthetics, function, periodontology and biomechanics. An evidenced based scientific approach to risk management will be developed to create more predictable outcomes from your treatment. A system will be outlined to provide efficient case presentation and management. This will prevent common diagnostic and treatment problems.

Course Objectives:
-Learn to comprehensively evaluate patients through simplified, systematic documentation
-Learn to evaluate by a risk assessment protocol, and triage the four major diagnostic parameters that effect and define success in treatment outcomes
-Learn to transfer treatment planning techniques to case presentation that leads to patient acceptance

This course provides 27 continuing education credit hours and includes lecture, demonstration, case presentation and discussion.
