Housing is an important determinant of health. This book provides a concise overview of the impact of housing policy and the effect of housing on health. It covers the issues of homelessness and health, collaboration between organizations in delivering housing needs, and focusses on the role of primary care teams as part of the Primary Care Trusts. It should be of interest to all members of primary care organisations, especially those concerned with health and social policy, including clinicians, nurses, psychologists, managers, statutory and voluntary housing organizations, policy makers, shapers and influencers.

The regeneration of the periodontium can be distinguished from many other regenerative processes because of the periodontium's extremely limited endogenous regenerative capability. Additionally, regeneration of the periodontium involves the regeneration of at least three unique tissues and their complex structures. Recent evidence suggests that periodontal ligament retains its regenerative capacity to different degrees throughout adulthood which is attributed to the remaining progenitor/stem cells within the periodontium that maintain their proliferation and differentiation potential and the regeneration of periodontal tissues can be stimulated using growth factors and other host modulating agents.
