Book 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.All goals and objectives of the American Academy of
Periodontology's Vision 2020 program are addressed, highlighting the most up-to-date
information on periodontal medicine.Content is organized to coincide with the AAP's Vision 2020
Objectives.Full color illustrations show the tissue colors and provide critical information about
diagnosis of disease and assessment of the success or failure of clinical therapy.Information is
provided on all forms of nonsurgical and surgical therapies, including dental implant surgery and
advanced surgical techniques such as guided bone regeneration, sinus augmentation, and esthetic
periodontal surgery.The chapters dealing with mucogingival surgery, resective surgery, and the
basic principles of surgery essentially make up a color atlas of periodontal practice.A
comprehensive chapter on conscious sedation offers excellent content as an option for patients
who want to be "asleep" during involved procedures.Information on when and how to use
antibiotics and antimicrobials adds a critical component to the interrelationship between oral and
systemic health.No other periodontal reference includes a chapter on electronic dental health
records, with highly relevant content as more and more dental practices move toward becoming
"paperless" offices.A separate chapter on the role of the dental hygienist in periodontal procedures
makes this the perfect reference for in-office education.Information on periodontal
instrumentation provides an excellent overview of the instruments that practitioners and their
support staff use every day.
