Reviews
"This remains an essential book on the subject of periodontology, which is well researched; every chpater is supported by a prodigious number of references, and clearly presented, chapter-by-chapter. This is a beautifully clear work and is an improvement, even on the previous Editions, which were essential reading for both undergraduates and postgraduate dental students alike as well as hygienists and general dental practitioners." BDA News, August 2004
"...book is a comprehensive rework of a very popular textbook, very well evidence-based, and will continue to serve its purpose well." Dental Update, November 2004 |
