It requires a team approach to develop a comprehensive treatment plan when a patient presents with complex dental problems and wishes to address all the needs. If the treatment involves several disciplines — endodontics, periodontics, orthodontics, surgical implant, and restorative — decisions must be made on the phasing and sequencing of treatment. In this module, Dr. Bob Winter discusses the when, why, and who in this process depends on how each patient presents and the preferences of the team members for each specific case. A systematic approach is outlined to assist clinicians in establishing a framework for this decision-making process.
• Identify potential underlying conditions that may influence the development and finalization of the treatment plan.
• Establish what consultations are required with the various disciplines and how they should be sequenced.
• Determine how to optimally phase treatment to successfully complete the case.
