Full Description
This instructional guide to periodontal instrumentation takes students from the basic skills, patient positioning, intraoral finger rests, and basic instrumentation, all the way to advanced techniques, assessment of periodontal patients and instrumentation of multirooted teeth, root concavities, and furcation areas. The Fifth Edition retains the features that made this the market leading textbook on periodontal instrumentation and adds new features designed to facilitate learning and teaching, such as critical thinking activities, patient cases, learning objectives, and a glossary of instrumentation terms. A faculty resource CD-ROM includes an image bank, test bank, instructor's guide, teaching tips, and skill evaluation forms.
