Clinical Problem Solving In Dentistry
Clinical Problem Solving in Dentistry is designed to explain to dental students the processes of diagnosis and treatment planning, through consideration of clinical cases and problems which involve aspects of all the dental specialties. Dental students need to learn to cope with the fact that the problems of an individual patient do not necessarily fall into neat categories. They may require a combination of operative, periodontal and prosthodontic treatment - as the book is based around clinical cases and problems, it enables them to do this, and also prepares the student for their final exams and the real world of clinical practice.
Features:
* 46 cases in clinical dentistry are presented in a practical, problem solving way, leading the student towards the correct diagnosis and treatment plan
* Explore treatment alternatives and evaluates their advantages and disadvantages
* Integrates material from all the dental specialities so that cases present like real patients with a number of different treatment needs, rather than merely a periodontal problem or a prosthetic problem
* Illustrated in colour throughout

Clinical Problem Solving in Dentistry
Most textbooks used by dental students tend to concentrate on single dental specialities. Dat to day dental practice, however, requires the dentist to adopt a problem-solving approach which integrates knowledge from all areas of dentistry, in order to come up with treatment plans which are appropriate for real patients.
This book presents 43 cases taken from the full range of dental specialities. In each case the student is led towards the correct diagnosis and treatment plan, with treatment alternatives being explored along the way.
An ideal introduction to the realities of clinical decision making for dental students, this book will also be useful for those sitting postgraduate dental exams. |
