The authors of this book have developed a new vision on dental diagnosis and the treatment plan in their book called “ Global Diagnosis ”. The book tries to provide clear and well-illustrated answers to the following five CORE questions : 1 . What are the facial proportions and skeletal relationships ? 2 . What are the length and mobility of the upper lip ? 3 What is the relationship between the gingival line and the horizon ? 4 . What is the length of the maxillary central incisor ? 5 . Is the CEJ palpable in the gingival sulcus ? The book has thirteen chapters and highlights how these five questions are used to determine the diagnosis and treatment option for various cases including crown lengthening , tissue grafting , intrusion , forced eruption , orthognathic surgery , dental facial plastics and extrusion . The final chapter provides the treatment planning template based on the CORE questions and encourages the readers to plan the treatment for these five case studies . The book includes a CD and a lot of illustrations which help the clinician to establish a global diagnosis for the most difficult cases treatments .
