Treatment Planning in Dentistry, 2nd Edition (pdf)Author : Stephen J. Stefanac, Samuel P. NesbitThis book provides essential knowledge for creating treatment plans for adult dental patients. Treatment planning strategies are presented to help with balancing the ideal with the practical, with emphasis placed on the central role of the patient – whose needs should drive the treatment planning process. The focus is on planning of treatment, not on the comprehensive details of every treatment modality in dentistry. New to This Edition Chapter on Treatment Planning for Smokers and Patients with Oral Cancer addresses the dentist’s role in managing patients with oral cancer, recognizing oral cancer and differential diagnosis of oral lesions, planning treatment for patients undergoing cancer therapy, and smoking cessation strategies.
