PERIODONTOLOGY FOR THE DENTAL HYGIENIST covers all aspects of
periodontology, from the history of its study, to client
assessment, to therapeutic and surgical approaches. The bulk of
information is organized to be directly applicable to what
hygienists will need to know to treat clients effectively. Also
included is discussion of how periodontal conditions relate to
general health and systemic factors. Now in full color, the detail
and attractiveness of the content keep it ahead of its competition.
Students of dental hygiene will find this book their cornerstone of
periodontology, while practicing dental hygienists will find
Periodontology for the Dental Hygienist an invaluable reference
source. Comprehensive, dental hygiene-specific content provides an
in-depth look at all the areas of periodontics that directly affect
the dental hygienist's role in oral health care. Focus on
evidence-based practice reflects the best of current thinking as
related to the treatment of gingival and periodontal diseases and
conditions. High-quality radiographs, histographs, and color
clinical photos depict many gingival and periodontic conditions,
disease states, and treatments to help in patient evaluation and in
determining an appropriate course of treatment. Logical, practical
coverage addresses the day-to-day role of the dental hygienist in
the care and treatment of the periodontium, progressing in sections
from essential background information through the foundations of
therapy, assessment of disease and conditions, treatment of
diseases and conditions, and the results of therapy.
