title: Diagnosis and treatment planning for implant dentistry.
abstract: Dental implants are well-established in dentistry and allow the restorative dentist to offer patients the best that dentistry has to offer. Through examination, radiographs, and study models, the restorative dentist and implant surgeon can develop a treatment plan. Comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning involve much more than a clinical exam--they require an investigation involving past, present and future dental therapy.
