Treatment Sequence Planner Calculator

This calculator treats implant placement as its own surgical phase, separate from disease control and restorative work, because implants typically require a healing period before the final restoration can proceed. So any case with one or more Implants planned gets a dedicated phase added to Treatment phases, regardless of how many implants are entered.

Provisionals needed equals Units to restore directly in this calculator's model -- every unit slated for restoration is assumed to need a provisional restoration during treatment, one-to-one. It is the input that moves Provisionals needed the most, since no other input factors into that specific output.

No -- it sums flat per-item assumptions built into this calculator ($1,200 per restorative unit, $1,200 per endodontic treatment, $4,000 per implant, and $2,000 if periodontal therapy is needed), not figures drawn from any published fee survey. Real case cost varies substantially by region, material choice, and provider, so treat this as a rough planning estimate only.

Endodontic treatment falls under disease control, which this calculator treats as a phase that must complete before restorative work begins on the affected teeth. So any case with Endo treatments needed greater than zero is set to a minimum of 3 phases (disease control, restorative, maintenance), even in cases that would otherwise only need 2.

No -- it is a simple 1-5 composite built from case size plus the presence of perio therapy, multiple endo treatments, and multiple implants, meant as an at-a-glance indicator. It does not weigh patient-specific factors like medical history, occlusal scheme, or esthetic demands the way an actual clinical treatment plan does.
