Synopsis
Periodontology is one of the growth areas of modern dental practice, and is becoming one of the most popular specialisms. This book is a comprehensive, readable account of the practical aspects of most value for general dental practitioners, as well as being a succinct summary of the basics for dental students. Making full use of their extensive experience in clinical practice, the authors have provided an essential guide to the principles and practice of the treatment of periodontitis. Examination, diagnosis and prognosis are followed by chapters encompassing: * treatment planning * the full range of surgical and non-surgical treatment options available * the management of acute conditions * patient communication of periodontal disease A Clinical Guide to Periodontology will quickly become essential reading for anyone working in this field of dentistry.

Synopsis
Over the last ten years the emphasis in periodontal therapy has changed markedly and treatment is more firmly based on preventive concepts. Surgical techniques are used only very selectively with emphasis being placed on conservation of both soft and hard tissue. Prior periodental treatment is increasingly used as part of a combined treatment plan involving both restorative and prosthetic dentistry. The aim of this new edition is to present up-to-date theoretical concepts about periodontal disease and to relate these to treatment procedures.

Synopsis
Offers an understanding of the molecular and cellular interactions of the periodontal tissues, from a basic science background to the current research findings. The text includes discussions of clinical implications, including pharmacological approaches to disease control, approaches to tissue management and regenerative therapies, and the development of diagnostic aids.

Synopsis
This text, which is clearly written and illustrated in colour, describes the causes of dental caries ("dental decay") and its progression through the tooth. Its emphasis is on prevention as well as early diagnosis so that decay can be arrested in its early stages. It covers methods of prevention from both a scientific and practical point of view so that it is relevant to the dental undergraduate as well as dental nurses, dental health education, hygienists and therapists.

Synopsis
With the aid of 49 contributors, this clinically oriented, evidence-based text reflects the state-of-the-art in periodontics. It guides readers through the background knowledge needed to interpret clinical findings (anatomy, histopathology, microbiology, biochemistry), the examination, the use of a presumptive diagnosis to guide treatment and specific periodontal therapies including esthetics and implants. The text should be of interest to students and practitioners alike.

Synopsis
The focus of dentistry has shifted from the filling and extracting of teeth towards prevention of dental decay and disease. This book is written for undergraduate students, providing the information they need in this field during their courses, as well as postgraduate dental students, particularly those in paedodontics and the GDP.

Synopsis
This concise text provides a basis in orthodontic diagnosis for both dental students and general dental practitioners. Following an introductory chapter on the development of normal occlusion, this practical book provides a clear overview of the diagnostic process. It looks at how both local and general factors can affect the final treatment plan and the advantages of different management strategies. The book includes over 150 illustrations, five clinical cases, a chapter on evidence based practice and a glossary of terms.

Book Description
This authoritative text explores the complex tie between the periodontium and systemic disease. Throughout, it discusses the ways in which systemic conditions and their treatment affect dental health. Topics covered include: evaluation; genetics; cardiovascular and respiratory disease; tobacco use; diabetes; pregnancy, puberty, and oral contraception; osteoporosis; the immunocompromised patient; bleeding disorders; comorbid conditions: kidney, liver, gut, brain; and pharmacotherapy.

Synopsis
Focuses on the periodontium, but broadens the discussion to include other oral tissues or associated structures when appropriate * Includes the latest medical and dental research
Explains how systemic conditions affect implant therapy * Covers medicolegal issues related to periodontal treatment * Accompanied by a CD-ROM with the complete text and illustrations of the book, in fully searchable PDF files

Book Description
Outline of Periodontics has been fully revised and updated for the fourth edition, with the benefit of many new and improved illustrations to expand the text and give more clinical detail. The authors have taken great care to relate the theory of periodontics to the clinical practice.

The section on scaling techniques has been expanded and improved, and there is also coverage of the effects of tobacco smoking on periodontal disease. Plus an updated and expanded section on antibiotic interactions with chemotherapeutic drugs, plus more information on the clinical features of AIDS.

Book Description
The realization that there is a wide variation in susceptibility to disease and tooth loss is challenging the traditional approach to periodontal diseases and their treatment. This text discusses the current concepts of this group of diseases, and offers an up-to-date review of treatment needs and relevant techniques.

The Periodontum in Health and Disease - The Epidemiology of Periodontal Diseases
- The Microbiology of Periodontal Diseases - The Host Response in Periodontal Diseases
- Systemic Influences in the Progression of Periodontics - Systemic Effects of Periodontal Diseases - Gingivitis and Periodontics - Diagnosis and Treatment Planning in the Periodontal Patient - Mechanical Treatment of Periodontal Diseases - The Role of Surgery in Periodontal Treatment - Chemotherapeutic Agents in the Management of Gingivitis and Periodontal Disease - Restorative Considerations in the Periodontics Patient - Peri-Implantitis - The Future

Book Description
'Periodontics: A Synopsis' is an essential text for senior undergraduate dental students, and postgraduates preparing for Royal College diploma examinations. It describes in a concise and straightforward style the features or periodontal disease and current methods of treatment. Since it deals with the management of periodontal diseases from a biological basis and within a wider context of dental care, this book will also be a valuable reference guide to general dental hygiene. This publication responds to the growing need for texts which present essential concepts in a way which makes them easily understood by the reader. The text provides a concise overview of periodontal disease, and describes the concepts upon which sound clinical judgement is based, making it a useful reference source for students, practitioners and hygienists alike.

Book Description
Periodontal diseases have their own unique pathological and immunological characteristics; treatment is frequently dependent upon altering human behaviour and may also involve a wide variety of non-surgical and surgical techniques, with many interesting pharmacological and regulative adjuncts. This is a guide to good scientific practice in this fascinating aspect of dental work and complements instruction in clinical periodontology by raising questions and providing answers to some of them. General dental practitioners and even those specializing in other branches of dentistry, such as orthodontics or endodontics, will find much of clinical relevance to their practice.

Synopsis
The prevention of oral disease is the goal of all dental practitioners, whether in hospital or practice. Both tooth decay (dental caries) and periodontal disease can be reduced or abolished by preventive practises, so that people can keep their teeth throughout their lives. This new edition has been completely updated to include new chapters on oral mucosal diseases and oral cancer. This book is intended for all undergraduate students, dental hygienists, postgraduate dentists, General dental practitioners.

Synopsis
Tooth wear has implications for the aesthetics, function and longevity of the primary and secondary dentitions, while dentine hypersensitivity is a painful condition of the permanent dentition, which affects oral comfort and function. The consequences of tooth wear and sensitivity are potentially enormous, not least in financial terms to the profession, health services and patients.
