Dentistry: Periodontics

Practical Osseous Surgery in Periodontics and Implant Dentistry is a step-by-step manual that guides readers through osseous surgery procedures for treating periodontal issues as well as for ensuring proper anchorage of dental implants. Dibart and Dibart use hundreds of color photographs and succinct text to illustrate and explain the most recent advances and techniques for creating the ideal bone structure for each patient. This book covers periodontal therapies including resective surgery, and regenerative surgery, as well as implant therapies, including socket perseveration, correcting bony deficiencies, bone grafts, minimally invasive surgical procedures, and the latest technologies such as Piezosurgery. It also devotes chapters to growth-factor enhanced bone grafts, PiezocisionTM, and restoration of the placed implant. Practical Osseous Surgery in Periodontics and Implant Dentistry focuses on clinical applications of surgical procedures, making it an essential tool for both specialists and generalists with an interest in implant dentistry and osseous surgery procedures.

This classic and well-respected book has been entirely updated, from the latest information, to a colorful new design and extensive color illustrations. Previously published as Outline of Periodontics, this edition has grown into a more comprehensive, heavily referenced, authoritative text. It examines disease of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth, and it helps general dental practitioners prevent tooth loss in their patients through establishing a treatment plan that emphasizes periodontal health. One of the most respected UK textbooks on periodontology. Comprehensive material covers both the scientific background of periodontics, as well as the treatment of patients. An acclaimed chapter on periodontal considerations in restorative dentistry highlights this important topic. The appearance of the book has been entirely reworked to include color photos throughout, color highlights to line diagrams, and shaded tables to enhance the clarity of material. New and updated information is provided on plaque, genetic and stress factors, and the immune system. A new section examines periodontal disease as a risk factor for systemic disease. Information on the chemotherapeutic approach has been divided among three new chapters on Antiseptics, Antibiotics, and Antibiotic Prophylaxis.

Current research shows that there is a wide variation in susceptibility to periodontal disease and tooth loss, challenging traditionally held approaches to these diseases. This new book covers all current concepts of periodontal disease, including biology and pathology, diagnosis, treatment planning and state-of-the-art clinical techniques, with 200 high-quality photographs.
