A complete diagnosis is the foundation of effective dental/medical care. It involves a detailed evaluation of the patient’s chief complaint, medical and dental history, clinical examination, and required investigations such as radiographs or laboratory tests. This comprehensive assessment helps in identifying the exact condition, its severity, and any associated risk factors, ensuring that treatment decisions are precise and evidence-based.
Treatment planning is a systematic process where the diagnosed condition is managed through a customized approach tailored to the patient’s needs, expectations, and overall health. It focuses on restoring function, aesthetics, and long-term stability while prioritizing patient comfort and safety.
