Using a system of diagnosis and treatment planning to reduce stress
Abstract:
Because a thorough system of treatment planning was used, the dentist was able to change the patient's smile and discuss potential problems with the patient before treatment. This discussion allowed the patient and dentist to proceed with treatment knowing that any problems would be dealt with if they arose. The work-up of the case also made it easier for the laboratory to know exactly what outcome the dentist and patient were expecting. This enhanced communication allowed the case to proceed with a minimum of stress for everyone.
