title: Oral surgery: assessment and treatment.
abstract: In arriving at a diagnosis, a dentist will have employed much skill and expertise, but there can be no doubt that in formulating a treatment plan, in addition to skill and expertise, intuition and wisdom (and sometimes inspiration) are required. Whereas the road to diagnosis is paved with objectivity, the road to treatment is paved with subjectivity and instinct.
