1.2 Treatment planning
Structured treatment planning takes place in your office after gathering the details from a thorough patient history and examination. There may be a need to gather more information from the patient's physician, study models, radiographs or additional investigations. Treatment options must be considered for the patient's individual situation, along with the prognosis and treatment proposal.
