Beyond the single tooth

Descrizione

Dental school teaches us to be technicians and to think in a linear fashion. We come out reacting to and fixing problems. Prevention is limited to oral hygiene. When we practice in this manner, we are perceived as a commodity and there is little to differentiate ourselves or our expertise. However, when we approach our patients in a comprehensive manner, our critical thinking is enhanced. We now start to look beyond restorative solutions. Considering other disciplines often lead to more predictable outcomes. This book is written to stimulate thought and provide ways to change your practice from reparative to comprehensive dentistry. Clinical examples of how to gather records and collaborate with other specialties will help guide you to more predictable results and loyal patients.
