Study Notes
Types of Diagnosis in Oral Diagnosis
- Spot diagnosis is typically used in emergency situations or when a patient presents with an obvious problem that requires immediate attention.
Comprehensive Diagnosis
- The purpose of comprehensive diagnosis is to gather all necessary information about the patient's chief complaint, medical and dental history, and clinical findings to formulate a definitive diagnosis.
Emergency Diagnosis
- Emergency diagnosis involves identifying and managing life-threatening conditions, such as airway obstruction, hemorrhage, or cardiac arrest, in oral diagnosis.
Differential Diagnosis
- The main purpose of differential diagnosis is to identify and rule out other possible causes of a patient's symptoms or condition, and to arrive at a definitive diagnosis.
Tentative (Provisional) Diagnosis
- Tentative (provisional) diagnosis is used when there is insufficient data to make a definitive diagnosis, and is used to guide further diagnostic testing or treatment.
