Periodontics in Practice
Periodontal diseases have their own unique pathological and immunological characteristics; treatment is frequently dependant 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 practical guide to good scientific practice in this fascinating aspect of dental work.This book, aimed primarily at practicing dentists, is meant to complement an education in clinical periodontology by raising questions and providing answers to some of them. Even those specialising in other branches of dentistry, such as orthodontics or endodontics, will find much of clinical relevance to their practice.

This guide to good scientific practice will also be useful to those specialising in orthodontics or endodontics, as well as to the practising dentist.
