Textbook in PDF format

Color Atlas of Dental Hygiene— Periodontology, a new book dedicated exclusively to practicing dental hygienists, dental hygiene educators, and students in dental hygiene education and training programs. Therefore, this new book emphasizes a much broader spectrum of new dental and medical knowledge, targeted especially for the dental hygienist. The book contains 14 chapters dedicated to the main problems of etiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture, the main stages of treatment and prevention of periodontal diseases.
This text is unique in its attention to Phase 3 Therapy (periodontal maintenance therapy), focusing long-term success on rigorous follow up by the dental hygienist as part of the preventive team. The idea of prevention in periodontology or “continuous risk management” is targeted toward recognition of a multilevel assessment of risks. The authors suggest practical periodontal maintenance guidelines in an effort to follow the long-term health status of the periodontal patient. The overriding goal of this new textbook is to present and impart the information required in periodontology for the dental hygienist of today, and of tomorrow
