The description said nothing about the huge crease on the front cover, but not a big deal and everything else about it is perfect.

While it is not a book I would read straight through, when I need to look up specific information on etiology, bacteria (biofilms), or treatment options this is my favorite resource. It's evidence oriented with specific references to hundreds of studies I would never be able to find or research on my own, I'm confident the evidence & conclusions here are accurate. In addition I've attended a lecture by one of the contributing periodontists, Dr. Sottosanti & found him wonderfully unbiased, authoritative, informed, & very evidence oriented. The depth & scope of the information in this book is critical to helping me make dental decisions. A challenging but rewarding read.

This is very detailed information about periodontal diseases. It includes etiology, microbiology, body's immune response, great illustrations and tables which make easier memorization and understanding. If you have enough patience to read it all, at the end you have very substantial knowledge about the subject. It is great book for the dental hygienist students and future dentists as well.

This is a very thick book for a private practitioner. Practically all factors affecting periodontal disease are being discussed, from epidemiology, etiology, pathology to the treatment and comprehensive management of periodontal disease.

My interest in the book begins from Section IV, Periodontal Surgical because we didn't learn much of this in dental school. Even techniques for periodontal plastic surgery are covered. I find this part most helpful in my private practice which focuses on cosmetic dentistry.

The section on implantology is also very useful. All too often, those of us sinking implants are only concerned with bone. Ignoring the soft tissues often lead to aesthetic problems later on. The information covered here is even more valuable than some of those you'll find in books dedicated to implants alone.

My only complaint is that there are not enough colour images.
