Description
This classic and well-respected book has been entirely updated, from the latest information, to a colorful new design and extensive color illustrations. Previously published as Outline of Periodontics, this edition has grown into a more comprehensive, heavily referenced, authoritative text. It examines disease of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth, and it helps general dental practitioners prevent tooth loss in their patients through establishing a treatment plan that emphasizes periodontal health.
