Clinical problem solving in dentistry - Edward W Odell

This volume uses clinical cases and problems from dental specialty areas to illustrate the processes of diagnosis and treatment planning in the dental profession. Dental students learn to address the problems of individual patients who often do not fall into neat categories. These patients may require a combination of operative, periodontal and prosthodontic treatments. This book is based on realistic clinical case studies. Students are given the opportunity to develop problem-solving skills and critical thinking processes that will prepare them for the real world of clinical practice.
