Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

This definitive book presents the medical and surgical aspects of periodontics in full color, organized to coincide with topics in the AAP's Vision 2020 Objectives. It offers strong theory and concepts, as well as highly instructive clinical practice applications. The hallmark of this book is that it directs dental diagnosis and treatment toward controlling infection and establishing an oral environment that is conducive to the overall health and well-being of the patient. Interrelationships between oral and systemic health are emphasized throughout, and advanced technologies and techniques such as oral, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and dental implant surgery are key components.All goals and objectives of the American Academy of Periodontology's Vision 2020 program are addressed, highlighting the most up-to-date information on periodontal medicine.Content is organized to coincide with the AAP's Vision 2020 Objectives.Full color illustrations show the tissue colors and provide critical information about diagnosis of disease and assessment of the success or failure of clinical therapy.Information is provided on all forms of nonsurgical and surgical therapies, including dental implant surgery and advanced surgical techniques such as guided bone regeneration, sinus augmentation, and esthetic periodontal surgery.The chapters dealing with mucogingival surgery, resective surgery, and the basic principles of surgery essentially make up a color atlas of periodontal practice.A comprehensive chapter on conscious sedation offers excellent content as an option for patients who want to be "asleep" during involved procedures.Information on when and how to use antibiotics and antimicrobials adds a critical component to the interrelationship between oral and systemic health.No other periodontal reference includes a chapter on electronic dental health records, with highly relevant content as more and more dental practices move toward becoming "paperless" offices.A separate chapter on the role of the dental hygienist in periodontal procedures makes this the perfect reference for in-office education.Information on periodontal instrumentation provides an excellent overview of the instruments that practitioners and their support staff use every day.

This textbook, written and edited by the field's leading experts, has been needed for quite a while. It includes all the necessary information that any perio text should have---chapters on etiology, prognosis, treatment, etc---but goes above and beyond. With chapters covering complex suture techniques, systemic disease links, microsurgery, implants, medically-compromised pts, conscious sedation, and surgical principles, this text is the first truly comprehensive lesson in periodontics. The high-quality color photos set the bar high for future textbooks on the subject, and it belongs in the library of not only residents but accomplished clinicians.

I bought this book to supplement hands on trainings in periodontal surgery.More than half of the pages contain beautiful photographs, color pictures, and diagrams with easy to follow and extensive explanations.It covers everything from cellular development to implants.This book is by far one of the best clinical guides written about the periodontium and periodontal surgery.

For my first year in dental school I wash hoping to get away with not buying too many textbooks, but this particular textbook is nice to have. I think it is going to be even more helpful the more I get into my career.

The item was described as used but when it arrived, the condition was pristine. The book itself has lots of glossy colored pictures. Very happy with this purchase. The only thing missing is a step by step on how to perform crown lengthening surgeries.

This textbook is very easy to follow and understand, its clinically relevant material and images are impressive.Written by authorities in Periodontology.I strongly recommend it as an introductory book in Periodontics.

Excellent text book. As a GP with fair experience of surgery skill, I feel very confident to take on some of the technique described in the book due to clear illustrations and photos.

very happy with this purchase

The book came on time, I was able to track the progress of shipping, and it was in great condition.
