Summary

This concise summary of the practice of periodontology provides an excellent review of the physiology of the oral cavity, the newest information on diagnosis and therapy of periodontologic diseases, and the theoretical basics. Practice-related parallel topics such as trauma, material incompatibility, emergency treatment, and antibiotic therapy are covered in this text, as well.This is an excellent guide for dentists and oral surgeons involved in the treatment of periodontal diseases.
