THE TRIAD ALGORITHM

 

Having a standardized, sequential approach to patient care is prudent and practical in our day to day office operations. Utilizing a patient evaluation and management algorithm is a tool that can be easily employed.  The Triad Algorithm sequentially walks through the evidence-based dentistry model, secures informed patient consent, offers the stages of care (pre, during and post) and finally methodically standardizes a treatment approach. Attendees will not only be able to implement some, if not all the recommendations from The Triad Algorithm immediately in their practices, but will also find that this material will be complementary to other presentations they choose to attend at this year’s Midwinter Clinic!
