The book "Clinical Periodontology and Implant Dentistry" is a comprehensive resource covering the latest advancements in the fields of periodontology and implant dentistry. Authored by leading experts, it is divided into two main volumes: Basic Concepts and Clinical Concepts.
**Volume 1: Basic Concepts** delves into the fundamental aspects of periodontology, including anatomy, epidemiology, microbiology, host-parasite interactions, trauma from occlusion, and tissue regeneration. It provides detailed insights into the structure and function of periodontal tissues, the prevalence and risk factors of periodontal diseases, and the microbiological aspects of periodontal infections. The volume also explores the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases, modifying factors, and susceptibility, offering a thorough understanding of the disease process.
**Volume 2: Clinical Concepts** focuses on practical applications and clinical protocols. It covers examination protocols, treatment planning, initial periodontal therapy, additional therapies, and reconstructive therapy. The volume includes detailed sections on radiographic examination, risk assessment, and the treatment of specific conditions such as furcation involvement and peri-implant lesions. It also addresses the use of antibiotics in periodontal therapy and provides guidelines for reconstructive procedures like regenerative periodontal therapy and mucogingival surgery.
The book is designed to be a valuable resource for dental professionals, offering both theoretical knowledge and practical guidance. It is updated with the latest research and clinical practices, making it a reliable reference for both students and experienced practitioners in the field of periodontology and implant dentistry.The book "Clinical Periodontology and Implant Dentistry" is a comprehensive resource covering the latest advancements in the fields of periodontology and implant dentistry.
