Description
Outline of Periodontics has been fully revised and updated for the fourth edition, with the benefit of many new and improved illustrations to expand the text and give more clinical detail. The authors have taken great care to relate the theory of periodontics to the clinical practice. The section on scaling techniques has been expanded and improved, and there is also coverage of the effects of tobacco smoking on periodontal disease. Plus an updated and expanded section on antibiotic interactions with chemotherapeutic drugs, plus more information on the clinical features of AIDS.
