Successful restorative treatment begins with a comprehensive and well-structured treatment plan. This course presents a practical prosthodontic approach to diagnosis, risk assessment, and clinical decision-making before treatment begins. Through clinical examples, participants will review key factors influencing predictability, including restorability, periodontal support, occlusion, esthetics, biomechanics, implant considerations, and patient-specific risk factors. Emphasis will be placed on determining when teeth should be maintained, restored, replaced, or incorporated into comprehensive rehabilitation. Attendees will gain a systematic framework for sequencing treatment, anticipating complications, improving interdisciplinary communication, and selecting restorative strategies designed to enhance long-term function, esthetics, and clinical success.

Member dentists, their staff and TAMUCOD students are free. Non-member dentists and their staff are $95. Pre-registration is required, whether your attendance is virtual or in person.
