Chief compliant
The inexperienced clinician trying to prescribe an “ideal”
treatment plan can lose sight of the patient’s wishes..
Chief compliant

Comfort (pain characteristics)
Function (difficulties in chewing)
Social aspect (bad oral taste or smell)
Appearance (unaesthetic appearance discoloration –
malposition – misshape may be the main cause seeking
dental tr.)

- Periodontal History
- Restorative History
- Endodontic history
- Orthodontic history
- Removable prosthodontic history
- Oral surgical history
- Radiographic history
- TMJ history
- Periodontal History
(current oral hygiene & patient
education)
- Restorative History
(reflect prognosis of future
restorations)
- Endodontic history
(periapical health should be
monitored for any recurrent
lesion)
- Orthodontic history
(previous tr
. Associated with
root resorption
& C/R ratio
consideration, need for pre
- prosthetic orthodontic
intervention)
- Removable prosthodontic
history
(very helpful in assessing
whether future treatment will
be more successful)
- Oral surgical history
(any complication during tooth extraction)
- Radiographic history
(helpful in determining the progress of periodontal
disease)
- TMJ history
(pain, clicking, muscular symptoms, may be caused
by TMI dysfunction, which should normally be
treated and resolved before fixed prosthodontic
treatment begins)
Examination
(4)
General Examination
(patient’s general appearance,
gait, and weight, skin color,
vital signs…)
Extra-oral examination
Intra-oral examination
Radiographic examination
Temporomandibular joints:
bilaterally palpation during the
opening stroke.
(Asynchronous movement)
=anterior disk displacement
Tenderness or pain
=inflammatory changes in the
retrodiscal tissues
Clicking
maximum mandibular opening
i=ntra-capsular changes in the
joints.
Muscles of mastication the (2)
muscles, as well as other
relevant postural muscles,
are palpated for signs of
tenderness
masseter and temporal
Palpation is best
accomplished
bilaterally and
simultaneously
. This allows
the patient to compare and
report any differences
between the left and right
sides
Lips:
The patient is observed for tooth visibility during
normal and exaggerated smiling. This can be
critical in fixed prosthodontics treatment
planning, especially for margin placement of
certain metal-ceramic crowns.
Periodontal Examination:
(3)
- Gingiva
- Periodontium
- Clinical Attachment Level
Occlusal examination:
(3)
- Initial tooth contact
- General alignment
- Lateral and protrusive contacts
Centric relation:
Maxillo-mandibular relationship in which the
condyles articulate with the thinnest avascular portion of their
respective disks with the complex in the anterosuperior position
against the shapes of the articular eminences. This position is
independent of tooth contact
