Based on Newman and Carranza's Clinical Periodontology, this resource provides the most up-to-date, complete, and essential information. The broad range of content covers everything from the biology of the periodontium--how it's structured and the functions it serves, the new classification of periodontal disease, the link between periodontal disease and systemic health, and more. An extensive clinical section contains a complete guide to everything from procedure instrumentation to patient management at the point of care. Full-color photos, illustrations, and radiographs show how to perform periodontal procedures. Case-based practice questions and skill evaluation checklists promote board-exam readiness. The clear instruction and health-focused approach provide support throughout the Dental Hygiene program and beyond.--
