Understanding Periodontal Diseases: Assessment and Diagnostic Procedures in Practice

by Iain L. C. Chapple, Angela Gilbert

Overview

This book aims to bridge the gulf between the complex pathobiology of periodontal diseases and their assessment and diagnosis in dental practice. It provides a visual tour of the periodontium, how the host responds to periodontal pathogens, and re-classifies the diseases. Risk-factor identification is introduced prior to a step-by-step guide to diagnosis, commencing with the patient's first visit.
