Abstract

An objective and accurate diagnosis is an essential and key component in the formulation of safe, comprehensive management, and treatment of dental patients. The framework of such diagnosis should be based on clear criteria, applied with sound diagnostic methodologies which can assess, grade, and detect the presenting symptoms of any individual case. Various diagnostic approaches therefore play an essential part in developing a provisional and final diagnosis, from which treatment modalities and strategy can then be planned and implemented.
