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.
