Description

With the aid of 49 contributors, this clinically oriented, evidence-based text reflects the state-of-the-art in periodontics. It guides readers through the background knowledge needed to interpret clinical findings (anatomy, histopathology, microbiology, biochemistry), the examination, the use of a presumptive diagnosis to guide treatment and specific periodontal therapies including esthetics and implants. The text should be of interest to students and practitioners alike.
