Treatment Planning 1 article

Treatment Planning turns diagnostic information into a coherent sequence of care that reflects disease control, prognosis, patient priorities and practical constraints. A useful plan starts with a problem list and identifies urgent needs, stabilisation, periodontal or restorative prerequisites, alternative options and the order in which definitive treatment should occur. It may change as new findings or treatment responses emerge. Integration and sequencing after diagnosis are what make this treatment planning, as opposed to the technical execution of any one procedure in the plan.
