Oral Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

Successful oral treatment is possible only when correct diagnosis and planning is made. Oral diagnosis is the field of dentistry that plans to treat and improve the structure, occlusion and function of the teeth for the anatomy and anomalies of the teeth. For the right treatment plan, oral tissues, the patient's appearance, habits, systemic diseases, familial history, drugs used are questioned and x-rays are used for diagnosis.

General health status of the patient, health problems related to general medical sciences, prescribed drugs and allergic conditions are factors that can change the choice and intervention of the dentist. One of the most important diagnostic techniques in dentistry is radiological examinations. Radiographs used in dental radiology can be divided into two categories, intraoral and extraoral.
