Following the “Platinum Rule”: Systematic Treatment Planning and Patient Consultation

Abstract:

A significant challenge in dentistry is the creation of a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan that leads to a desired and long-term successful result. This plan should incorporate the best scientific evidence with regard to the patient’s problems, the clinical expertise of the dentist, and the patient’s wishes and preferences. However, such a plan by itself does not lead to implementation of the treatment. It also must be communicated in a professional way that can help to enhance patient acceptance. This article outlines a set of systems that the authors use in daily practice to achieve these goals. The concept is also illustrated with a clinical case.
