Description

This comprehensive textbook covers a wide range of topics to prepare aspiring periodontists for the exam, as well as serve as a guide or reference for more experienced practicing dentists. Concepts are explained in language that is easily understood by students, but technical enough to communicate the important points and subtleties of the topic. Over 100 periodontic terms are clearly defined and explained in context to facilitate understanding of the material, and the text is accompanied by numerous tables, diagrams and illustrations to allow readers to visualize the area and provide additional context to the information. The textbook begins with a basic overview of periodontal anatomy, and then guides the reader through the diagnostic process, identifying various diseases and potential risks before a prognosis is reached and a treatment plan can be created. This is followed by over a dozen chapters on various treatment methods from SRP to complex surgery and then maintenance. The book concludes with additional concepts that are important for newly qualified dentists to know, including an overview of relevant medications as well as abnormalities and emergencies that may arise in daily practice. Nothing is left out of this practical study guide, and both current students and recent graduates will find it invaluable at the beginning of their career.
