Atlas of cosmetic and reconstructive periodontal surgery, 3d ed. (CD-ROM included)

The 29 chapters of this atlas and text present up-to-date coverage of current techniques used in periodontics, with sections on basic theory and approaches, aesthetics, and advanced procedures. Both residents and specialists will find the atlas invaluable, as it covers the core procedures, analysis, and practice of both the basic surgical and osseous surgical modalities and the more advanced periodontal and surgical procedures used today, including cosmetic root coverage, ridge augmentation, osteotome technique, and microsurgery. The drawings and photos, which are the central focus, are clear and carefully selected. The CD-ROM contains the entire text and images in searchable form.
