Community Treatment Planning Lounge
Description:
In this launch of series for a new forum opportunity for the Dentalxp community, Drs. David Garber and Henry Salama share some of their practice's protocols for collecting the necessary patient information to design and develop esthetically oriented treatment plans. A case presentation is utilized as an example. Comments, suggestions and questions related to treatment planning the case are encouraged to be posted on the forum, some of which will be discussed at a follow-up presentation along with the actual treatment of the patient.

Questions & Comments

Nikhil Kulkarni642 - (2/8/2012 7:08 AM)
this case surely needs perio and occlusal assessment...i would ask why is there so much bone loss when the oral hygiene is not bad..
therefore i would look into pocket measurement and occlusal assessment...probably traumatic occlusion or rather trauma from occlusion might be the cause..
is there no mutually protected occlusion..is there canine guidance...whats the incisal guidance....these are the first questions I would ask myself...
from the pa's and opg I thought the centrals are calcified....and the amalgam in the apex is worrysome...it has had no root treatment of any sort..
and ofcourse what is the cost which the patient is willing to bear..
i would say the future of the anteriors is bleak from the evidence presented..hence prolong as long as you can would be the strategy...eventually the patient may need extensive restoration with GBR and implants....
but till then, if we were to buy time I would probably suggest the following treatment...
Perio splinting of the anteriors, root planing and curettage with gingivectomy and emdogain to improve the perio health...wait till it heals and stabilises....
probably some direct composite veneers would do the job with restoring the incisal length to follow the lower lip..explain the limitations of the treatment to the patient and prepare her for the exo implant treatment in a few years time....
looking forward to the outcome.....

Two issues stand out to me. First, the centrals require more length. Possibly with veneers if they are stable or splinted crowns if mobile. Second, and most importantly, what do you think about managing the area of #10-11 by a) extracting the resorbed lateral in conjunction with a connective tissue graft and then cantilevering #10 off of the implant #11 with a new 2-unit bridge? Drs. Salama & Graber, your feed-back is appreciated.

The Art of Clinical Photography
A picture is worth a thousand words is a proverb that refers to the idea that complex stories can be described with just a single still image, or that an image may be more influential than a substantial amount of text.

Esthetic Techniques and Materials
This presentation is a must for the dental team who is ready to go to the next level. The changes in the marketplace require us to communicate with our patients differently. It requires us to learn new procedures, learn to work with new materials, and have a higher level of communication with the dental laboratory. But mostly, it requires all members of the dental team to be aware of these new exciting times, and have the tools to build the practice of our dreams.

Ethics versus Legal Informed Consent— A Distinction with Little Difference
The core principles of dental ethics and legal standards of care have similar foundations. Both are dedicated to place the patient’s best interest as primary and the practitioner’s interest as secondary. Similarities between ethics and the law demonstrate that most often there may be distinctions but little core differences. Informed consent principles illustrate the comparison between dental ethics and the law.

Inheriting the Unhappy Patient
A serious problem that challenges any interdisciplinary team is inheriting treatment that is already in progress but not proceeding appropriately in the eyes of the patient. When the patient senses that the initial treatment plan, progress, or sequence is irregular and convoluted, rather than smooth and well executed, they may seek a second opinion. How do you handle these opinions when you know that the treatment could be improved? Do you call the doctors currendy treating the patient? Do you refer…
