CRITICAL THINKING OVERVIEW 

   

The D3 Case Presentations are designed as a venue for critical thinking.  Critical thinking is more that applying your understanding of dental and medical knowledge to treatment planning and diagnosis --- it involves analyzing, evaluation and creating.
   
To better understand the concept of critical thinking, click here. 
To view a critical thinking map as it applies to the D3 Case Presentation, click here.

GOALS & OBJECTIVES

   


You must select a patient who will have the proper motivation to remain with you throughout the entire treatment.  If the patient ends up not completing treatment, then a new patient will need to be found for your Clinical Excellence Day Presentation.
