Improving Clinical Outcomes: Why Restorations Fail

Syllabus:

The ability to provide patient care that yields a predictable outcome for restorative dentistry is dependent upon an individualized risk assessment for your patient.

Unfortunately, the majority of data utilized in making decisions regarding patient care is based on survival analysis, which is procedure-generated and may not accurately reflect the individual needs of your patient. This program will provide a conceptual framework for clinical practice that will create a paradigm shift in the way we interface with our patients and collect data. This presentation will lead to more successful strategies regarding the integration of restorative dentistry.

Learning Objectives:

1. The importance of standardized data collection leading to improved data

2.To reduce confusion regarding the different modes of failure for natural

3. To develop critical risk parameters to improve survival probability for natural
