Annals Of Periodontology

"Describes and clarifies the etiology and pathogenesis of the various diseases of the periodontium and illustrates the impact of related dental specialties (endodontics and prosthodontics, for example) upon the success of periodontal therapy. Includes superb clinical photographs and schematic diagrams, along with a treatise on systemic disease such as AIDS, diabetes, trisomy, Down Syndrome, etc. Crucially important elements of therapy are emphasized by repetition, and much importance is placed on conservative therapy, where intervention is kept to a minimum." --Publisher.

This is a new edition of a well-known and respected textbook of periodontics. Updated throughout, its usefulness has been enhanced by many new colour illustrations of both clinical conditions and treatment procedures. It includes new material on the mechanisms of disease and the effect of systemic factors on the periodontal tissues, including periodontal disease as a possible risk factor for systemic disease. The previous edition's chapter on drug treatment has been expanded to form three new chapters, which fully discuss the important issue of bacterial antimicrobial resistance. Periodontics will be ideal for dental students, candidates for postgraduate dental exams, dental hygenists and general dental practitioners. Book jacket.
