Difficult cases can be simplified when carefully thought out. A strong background of crown and bridge, precision attachments, restorative dentistry and implants allows the practitioner to choose what is best for the patient, not what the practitioner can do well. This course will present a unique approach to diagnosis and treatment planning that will offer the practitioner more options to help patients, including patients who are not candidates for sophisticated dentistry. The approach is evidence-based. Numerous case examples will be demonstrated from a library of more than 100,000 slides, digital pictures and X-Rays taken during the past 60 years.
Included in the presentation will be a discussion on:
How to examine and diagnose a patient
How to choose the best treatment option for a patient
How to manage difficult problems such as excessive wear, periodontal bone loss and malocclusions
How to handle teeth with no clinical crowns
How to utilize “hopeless” teeth for transitional restorations
When and how to splint teeth effectively
When to best utilize fixed restorations, removable restorations and implant restorations
This course will also demonstrate why the precision attachment case for both natural teeth and implants is an excellent treatment option and why it is often a much better treatment option for the patient than fixed bridgework.
