A Valuable Reference
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.
top-of-the-line text
What can I say? This textbook is strikingly well-written.Really, a monumental achievement. The writing is incisive, interesting, even fascinating.For those who thought periodontics was basically scaling and root planing, an odyssey through this book's 1,000 pages shows otherwise.The illustrations are well-chosen and informative, and the quality of scholarship is consistently excellent throughout its 77 chapters.It exhausts every topic related to periodontology, from flap surgery to the microbiology of the inflammatory response, to basic s/rp therapy, to the logic of hand instrumentation, and is very up-to-date.Probably the best textbook on the subject.The accompanying CD-Rom was not too useful, mostly pretty pictures and captions, but it's the text that counts.Revelations stud the pages and the book presents a solid overal paradigm of modern periodontics. ...

Periodontal Surgery: A Clinical Atlas
The volume arrived in perfect condition. The large and well-spaced format promised clear illustration and sequencing of procedures, which was mostly,but not always, the case. A number of procedures had quite complex suturing involved, which was only shown when completed, not during the suturing, and this I found quite a let down.

A must-have textbook
This textbook, written and edited by the field's leading experts, has been needed for quite a while.It includes all the necessary information that any perio text should have---chapters on etiology, prognosis, treatment, etc---but goes above and beyond.With chapters covering complex suture techniques, systemic disease links, microsurgery, implants, medically-compromised pts, conscious sedation, and surgical principles, this text is the first truly comprehensive lesson in periodontics.The high-quality color photos set the bar high for future textbooks on the subject, and it belongs in the library of not only residents but accomplished clinicians. ...

Mixed feelings
There is a lot of information in this book, and I mean a lot.That's a good thing right?Yes and no.For being such a large, reference oriented book, this has one of the worst indexes I have ever seen.Its terrible.They obviously spent a great deal of time on the book, and its mind-boggling that they wouldn't put a good index in.As such, this is pretty much worthless for quick references.So we are left with a HUGE book, probably suitable only for perio residents, since they are probably the only ones with the motivation, obssesiveness, and lack of sanity to plow through this.Add a good index, and I'd give it five stars. ...

OK...read on
The book has good tips and info that I found helpful reminders I already knew but needed to be refeshed about them I realized. A few things mentioned in the book I found worthy of pen highlighting. However, from the reviews I thought it to have something very outstanding I or most people wouldn't normally or have never known/heard about. Maybe perhaps too on a deeper level this is what I and many others are looking for...a miracle. Perhaps I have to be a bit realistic as well. I think for others who are totally new might find this book enlightening and helpful guide. Having been familar with Perio process first hand, natural heatlth remedies, and veganism...I didn't find the book all that unique or earth shattering. It is a nice, straightforward, primer/overview of some basic things. It is good too for those new to Perio issues that it offers chapter on what happens with a Perio exam what to expect...and so forth. The book explains also what, how, and why gum disease starts. It has a tooth chart but not very helpfull for me in that I would have appreciated an actual mouth drawing like the lay person is familiar with...even having Perio experience first hand doesn't make me an instant dentist. On earlier pages there is a whole run down as to what tooth relates to what parts of the body. However, there is no reference to the fact that a tooth chart exists later on. In fact, the earlier run down has the number and technical name of each tooth..yet not very helpful to the lay person if there is not a useful visual to refer to that corresponds to the numbers and technical names easily. In other words "Tooth Chart for Dummies". The book offers consistant mention of foods that are good for the health of the gums and so forth. It also makes reference to illness and life changes that may involve gum disease...and again it takes the time to mention foods, supplements that can help. The standard mention of the maintainance of good diet, excercise, and such is in the book.

Important book!!!!!
This is an excellent book! Sandra Senzon shows us wonderful holistic ways to create healty gums, through using healing herbs and many other means. This is an important book and if followed does work! It is curious that more dentist do not use these tools. Sandy Senzon is a wonderful hygenist and a gifted healer. I highly recommend this book.

Preventing and reversing gum disease
This is an excellent book written by a very dedicated dental hygienist who does her best to impart her years of acquired wisdom, so that we can take responsibility for our dental health and protect our teeth.The author teaches us that most people lose teeth as they get older, not because of tooth decay, but rather because of gum disease.Read more

Comprehensive text for dental hygienists on periodontology!
In the past, editors watered down their texts for dentists and served them to dental hygienists.This textbook has always considered the dental hygienist a central focus in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. I have used this text as a reference for my CE courses and studies, but also for my patients in order to understand grafts, implants and other aspects of treatment that sometimes are not fully explained my practitioners.This area has expanded so much in new technologies that I am already looking forward to the next edition. ...
