One of the seminal textbooks in Periodontology. I spent a bit of time contemplating digital vs hardcover and was mainly worried about how pictures and things would look (as the sample gives little detail). In the end the price difference including shipping tipped the balance in favour of digital and I'm so pleased I did. The pictures are fantastic - its exactly the same as the printed version. Its very easy to navigate the book. It covers all of the important topics. And its great to have it on all my devices for quick referencing. You can't copy and paste details but I guess you can't do that with the printed copy either.
As in its fifth edition, the work appears in two volumes called basic concepts and clinical concepts. A change among the editors has occurred, Lindhe and Lang are responsibe for the first volume while Lang and Lindhe for the second. The work is heavy, both in its content as physically. Many of my colleagues have already striked the previous 5th edition of Lindheâs textbook from the recommended reading list for undergraduates. Two volumes with more than 1400 pages altogether appears inappropriate for a topic which may or may not be regarded a core discipline in dentistry. The same applies to the main American textbook on Periodontology, Carranzaâs. Sometimes less is more. For postgraduate training, both works are indispensable, of course. Not for undergraduates.What the cover of Volume 1, Basic Concepts, displays is anyway remarkable. Bad dentistry on the cover of a 21st century textbook edited by the two leading dental researchers?
Fast shipping & good product, totally satisfied.
excellent book the bible for periodontist !!!!
