Periodontics: Medicine, Surgery and Implants

Product Description
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.
