Libri di Stephen J. Stefanac

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.

Treatment planning is a fundamental aspect of the day-to-day practice of dentistry, but it is also a difficult process to master. This textbook is designed to be a comprehensive text that works, as both and educational tool and reference source for dental students and practitioners. The textbook includes fundamentals of data collection, diagnosis and treatment planning. Emerging concepts in risk management are also included. Highlighted key concepts, decision trees and case examples make the text appealing, practical and useful. The book contains 15 chapters divided into 3 sections: The treatment Planning Process, Phases of the Treatment Plan, and Planning Treatment for Patients with Special Needs. A companion CD-ROM, with 8-10 practice cases, will be included with every copy of the book. The CD will reinforce the learning process, and add market appeal to the current generation of students and practitioners. Users will be able to make treatment decisions, form a treatment plan, and view how the case is resolved when their treatment plans are implemented.
