Periodontics: The Complete Summary

Fernando Suárez covers the entire discipline in language accessible to the student yet technical enough not to lose the nuances. He starts with periodontal anatomy and moves through diagnosis, the identification of the different diseases, risk factors and determinants, prognosis and the treatment plan; he then devotes numerous chapters to the treatment modalities, from scaling and root planing to complex surgery, and to maintenance. He closes with subjects the newly qualified will be grateful for: relevant medication, and the complications and emergencies of everyday practice. Its glossary of terms explained in context, together with tables and diagrams, makes it a tool for study and for quick reference.
