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.
Now in full color, with over 1,400 photographs and illustrations, the Sixth Edition of this market-leading text is a step-by-step, highly visual guide to the how-to's of periodontal instrumentation. It takes students from basic skills such as patient positioning, intraoral finger rests, and basic instrumentation, all the way to advanced techniques such as assessment of periodontal patients and instrumentation of multirooted teeth, root concavities, and furcation areas. Critical thinking activities and patient cases promote application of concepts and problem-solving skills. A brand-new bonus DVD packaged with this edition includes video clips demonstrating the techniques covered in the book.
