(Eds.)
Reviews of Progress, (May 2013)

Abstract

Most dentists understand the fundamental techniques involved in conducting a dental exam. They have been trained in medical science and from a clinical point of view they know the items on a checklist to perform a thorough exam. The art of the exam is going beyond the performance of professional practice skills and requires the dentist to look at each patient interaction as a unique experience. Since no two individuals are alike, each interaction is unique, thus requiring a different set of behaviors and attitudes. One of the components of the artistry of the dental exam involves communication skills. Here the dental professional embarks on a process of being creative and not simply functional.
