Dentsply Sirona Ankylos Balance C Laboratory Manual page 5

The basis of treatment planning is always a thorough
discussion with the patient with a view towards
determining the wishes and perceptions of the
patient, excluding contraindications and clarifying
matters thoroughly with the patient. Next, a complete
general and specific medical history is taken and
an intraoral diagnostic assessment is made with an
analysis of the initial anatomical situation.
The following points should be taken into account:
• Medical history
• General diagnosis – elimination of contraindications
• Specialist consultation where there are risk factors
• Extensive intraoral diagnosis (PAR diagnosis,
functional examination, reasons for tooth loss,
assessment of the existing tooth replacement,
radiological examination)
After all the diagnostic details have been submitted
and evaluated, the treatment can be planned.
This comprises the following elements:
• Preprosthetic planning
• Surgical planning
• Schedule
• Cost projection
