Description
Updated and comprehensive, this book covers the techniques and theory of periodontal instrumentation. The text describes techniques in the theoretical framework of their application to help develop both technical skills and clinical judgement. Numerous accompanying photos emphasize correct hand instrumentation, and techniques are illustrated for both right- and left-handed clinicians. Coverage involves complete learning of periodontal instrumentation - from rationale to treatment to results. Included are over 700 diagrams and photographs of instruments and techniques most commonly used today.
