Advanced Periodontal Surgery offers a master-class in surgical technique to enable both the experienced and the aspiring clinician to better treat pathologic and esthetic problems. Every aspect of periodontal surgery is surveyed, consolidated and described in detail, from implant surgery and hard tissue augmentation, to soft-tissue management and esthetic procedures, all accompanied by a wealth of superb photographic documentation. Clinical protocols are supported by the extensive literature and differing approaches discussed in the context of the available scientific evidence. This balanced approach, combined with the editors’ unrivaled experience in periodontal surgery, creates a peerless repository of expertise and information.
Advanced Periodontal Surgery begins with an overview of advanced mucogingival surgery, discussing the more general principles of treatment planning. The second section encompasses advanced surgical procedures for treating periodontal disease. The subsequent section moves on to tackle periodontal plastic surgery used to enhance facial esthetics. The final section deals with implant dentistry, from placement and site development, to adjunctive therapies such as orthodontics and the relationship between implant surgery and restoration.
A definitive resource on the gamut of advanced mucogingival and implant surgery, Advanced Periodontal Surgery will appeal to all clinicians already treating patients surgically or wishing to do so, including discerning periodontists, periodontology and oral surgery residents, oral surgeons seeking to expand into periodontal plastic surgery, and all practitioners of implant dentistry.
