Brief but comprehensive overview of periodontology from the At a Glance series

Periodontology at a Glance, Second Edition provides readers with key information on periodontology in an easy-to-use reference. Following the At a Glance series style, this revised and expanded edition illustrates each topic with a double page spread/short chapter that encapsulates the essential knowledge. Clear diagrams and clinical pictures are included throughout and accompanied by succinct text, providing a highly visual format to facilitate ease of learning. This second edition is divided into 6 uniquely colour-coded parts, designed to guide the reader through the various topics in a visually appealing manner. The authors have distilled the salient research literature and evidence base, and made suggestions for further reading where appropriate.

Sample topics covered in Periodontology at a Glance include:

* Anatomy of the periodontium, classification of periodontal diseases, periodontal epidemiology, role of plaque in the aetiology of periodontal diseases, and plaque biofilm microbiology.
* Host defenses, development and progression of periodontal diseases, systemic risk factors for periodontal diseases, periodontal diseases and general health.
* Diet and periodontal diseases, local risk factors for periodontal diseases, periodontal history, examination and diagnosis, and periodontal screening.
* Principles of periodontal diagnosis and treatment planning, plaque control, non-surgical periodontal therapy, and periodontal tissue responses, healing, and monitoring.
* Periodontal surgery, dental implants and peri-implant mucositis/peri-implantitis.
* Periodontal health; plaque biofilm-induced gingivitis, non-plaque-induced gingival conditions, gingival recession, gingival enlargement, periodontitis and its staging and grading, periodontal management of patients who smoke/have diabetes, necrotising periodontal diseases, periodontal abscesses, endodontic-periodontal lesions, periodontal diseases in younger and older patients, and the delivery of periodontal care.

Providing comprehensive coverage of the subject, the Second Edition of Periodontology at a Glance is an essential resource for dental undergraduates and hygiene therapy students, and also serves as a helpful refresher for qualified dentists preparing for a general examination or looking for a relatively quick update in the field.
