Treatment Planning Conference

This treatment planning conference is held for patients with unusual, multi- disciplinary or complex treatment situations. They are presented for evaluation and review.

1. Objectives:
   1. To develop an understanding of the orderly, detailed and comprehensive evaluation of a patient and the development of an accurate diagnosis and logical treatment plan.
   2. Provide a vehicle for interaction with the major dental specialties in the treatment planning process.
   3. Develop concepts of alternative treatment and appropriate application of a variety of treatment concepts and techniques.
   4. Provide a format for formal treatment plan presentation.
2. Guidelines:
   1. Comprehensive treatment plans will be developed based on clinical and radiographic examination, articulated diagnostic casts, scans, and pertinent laboratory tests.
   2. Formal oral presentations will be made to the combined prosthodontic and specialty staff, as needed. The presentation will include clinical photos, history, clinical exam, articulated diagnostic casts (pre-op and diagnostic waxing), and a primary and alternative treatment plan.
   3. A consensus treatment plan will be formulated by the staff and residents. This treatment plan will be documented and presented to the patient by the resident.
   4. Follow-up care will be coordinated and monitored by the resident who formally presented the patient for evaluation.
