The Art of Treatment Planning: Dental and Medical Approaches to the Face and Smile

Proper dissemination of knowledge in the dental specialties is currently one of the biggest obstacles to consistent improvement in care. This book examines the treatment-planning process from a multidisciplinary perspective in an effort to balance the very complex process of diagnosis with the need for simplicity and coherence.

Innovations in techniques and materials appear on a daily basis. At the same time, patients today demand individualised treatment plans that address not only their dental and/or aesthetic problems but their self-image and personal expectations as well.

Like its predecessor, The Art of the Smile, this book promotes theoretical understanding while offering practical insight and clinical guidance. It is intended for the beginner and the advanced clinician alike, each seeking the tools necessary to achieve an optimal result.

Section I: Recent Innovations in Treatment Planning and Methodologies
Section II: Restoring Dental Function and Esthetics
Section III: Innovative Concepts in Orthodontic Therapy
Section IV: Achieving Facial Balance and Harmony
