Decision Making In Dental Treatment Planning, 2e PDF

True, the book is full of of flow charts, but it is not meant to be used as a text book to learn information on diseases, etc. This book is to used as an outline to guide your thoughts regarding the formation of a patient's dental treatment plan. If it is used as such, it is an excellent resource. If I must criticize, however, I am worried that it may be too simplistic. As any dental student knows, there's more than one way to skin a cat and there are about a thousand ways to formulate an adequate treatment plan for a patient. Again, if the book is used as tool to guide your thoughts, it will be useful. This means you must remain current on new technologies and techniques.

This book is great for dental students and anyone who feels less than completely comfortable in treatment planning (5 stars). I don't know how useful it would be for seasoned dentists, however.

I don't know why the first dude gave it 1-star. This is a nice little "guide" book on treatment planning. It's not in depth because the very nature of planning a treatment is unique and not completely standardized. How can you write a book to prepare the reader for a thousand different possibilities? You can't. The flowcharts were good, but it's acknowledged that you don't have to follow the directions step by step in real life. Also, I must comment on the readability of the text. It's simple to read and understand, which in my opinion is hard to achieve in an educational book. The only thing I would complain is that the author seems to focus a lot more on perio than the other fields (endo, ortho, surgery, etc). Still, I'd recommend it as a handy GUIDE for dental students.
