Global Diagnosis: A New Vision of Dental Diagnosis and Treatment Planning (Book/CD-ROM Set)

Incisal edge position is often considered the most important factor when treating complex restorative patients, yet the incisal edges can be in a perfect position and the final result can still fail due to unacceptable gingival levels. The emphasis in the Global Diagnosis system is to determine the etiology of the aberrant gingival positions prior to treatment. The power of the system is that the diagnosis leads to the treatment plan. This book explains the Global Diagnosis system and shows how to diagnose and treat patients based on five CORE questions. Subsequent chapters outline treatment options. The final chapter challenges the reader to treatment plan cases based on the five questions and other diagnostic information. Included is a CD with the CORE template, which allows readers to input diagnostic photographs and information to facilitate record keeping.** Contents......Page 6 Preface......Page 9 About the Authors......Page 11 Contributors......Page 12 Global Diagnosis: The Art and Science of Interdisciplinary Treatment Planning......Page 14 Global Analysis......Page 20 The Five CORE Questions......Page 44 Esthetic Crown Lengthening Surgery......Page 56 Tissue Grafting......Page 70 Dentoalveolar Intrusion of the Adult Dentition......Page 80 Forced Eruption......Page 112 Orthognathic Surgery......Page 132 Dental Facial Plastics......Page 144 Dentoalveolar Extrusion: The Most Dif cult Global Diagnosis......Page 162 Sequencing the Treatment Plan......Page 186 The CORE Template......Page 204 Case Studies......Page 210 Index......Page 240 Global Diagnosis : The Art And Science Of Interdisciplinary Treatment Planning -- Global Analysis Diagnosis Form -- The Five Core Questions -- Esthetic Crown Lengthening Surgery -- Tissue Grafting -- Dentoalveolar Intrusion Of The Adult Dentition -- Forced Eruption -- Orthognathic Surgery -- Dental Facial Plastics -- Dentoalveolar Extrusion: The Most Difficult Global Diagnosis -- Sequencing The Treatment Plan -- The Core Template -- Case Studies.
