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.
