  10. DENTAL CHARTING • A) PERIODONTAL CHARTING - plaque indices - probing depths - bleeding points - gingival level - tooth mobility

  11. DENTAL CHARTING (cont) • B) CONSERVATION CHARTING – ( Tooth ) -caries -existing restorations

Possibility for repair • 7. Dentist and lab limitations • 8. Flexibility • 9. Benefits vs Costs+Risks • 10.Primary complaint • 11. Referral Possibility

  21. TREATMENT PLANNING (cont) • TREATMENT SEQUENCING 1. EMERGENCY Rx - m/c - drainage & Rx of dental abscess 2. HIGH PRIORITY Rx - extraction of hopelessly involved teeth - caries control - coronal scaling & polishing+OHI - pulpotomies and pulp extirpations

  22. TREATMENT SEQUENCING(cont) • 3. LOW PRIORITY TREATMENT - Endodontic therapy - restoration of carious lesions - temporary splinting - re-evaluation

  23. TREATMENT SEQUENCING(cont) • 4. MAINTENANCE -3/12 -6/12 * CONTINUED REASSESSMENT AND RE-EVALUATION!

  24. TREATMENT PLAN(TX) • “TX” SHOULD TAKE THE PATIENT AND DENTIST TO THE POINT WHERE DISEASE IS CONTROLLED AND THE DENTITION IS FUNCTIONAL , STABLE AND ACCEPTABLY AESTHETIC !

  26. 1.STABILIZATION RELIEVE PAIN – TEMPORARY RX PERMANENT RX EXTRACTION 2. REASSESSMENT 1 * ORAL HYGIENE * ASSESS TEMPORARY RX – IS IT RESPONDING- EG. REVERSIBLE PULPITIS ( ? INDIRECT PULP CAP / OR RCT ) TX SEQUENCING

  27. 3. PRELIMINARY RESTORATIVE PHASE PERFORM URGENT RX FIRST. * COMPLETE ALL PROCEDURES THAT ARE NECESSARY. * WAIT FOR HEALING. 4. REASSESSMENT 2 ORAL HYGIENE CHECK FOR NEW DISEASE – EG BROKEN RESTORATIONS TX SEQUENCING
