Comprehensive patient evaluation

A comprehensive patient evaluation is a crucial step in the treatment planning process in periodontics. It involves a systematic assessment of various aspects related to the patient's oral health, medical history, and esthetic concerns. This evaluation includes a detailed review of the patient's medical and dental history, as well as a thorough clinical examination that assesses periodontal parameters such as probing depths, bleeding on probing, and clinical attachment levels.Radiographic evaluation aids in visualizing the extent of periodontal bone loss and identifying other potential pathologies. Furthermore, assessing risk factors, systemic health conditions, and the patient's chief complaints and esthetic concerns provides valuable insights for developing an individualized treatment plan.
