IMPD 601 Diagnosis and Treatment Planning I
This course will provide historical perspectives on implantology, the goals of treatment and an understanding of the diagnostic and treatment modalities necessary to properly treat patients requiring implant dentistry. Residents will learn to meet the patient before meeting the mouth (determining the patient’s needs, desires, motivations, and goals), to provide an organized approach to examination, taking records, patient evaluation, obtain appropriate tests and radiographs and formulate a clinical decision-making tree (vertical treatment planning) and to recognize and incorporate an interdisciplinary approach to treatment planning.
