Foundations of Periodontics for the Dental Hygienist Fourth Edition By Jill S. Gehrig, RDH, MA , Asheville-Buncombe Technical Com- munity College, Asheville, NC and Donald E. Willmann, DDS, MS , University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, TX DESCRIPTION Comprehensive and easy-to-understand, Foundations of Peri- odontics for the Dental Hygienist, Fourth Edition offers up-to- date, evidence-based coverage of periodontal anatomy, the peri- odontal disease process, and classifications of periodontal disease. Rather than presenting information in narrative style, the author, a leading expert in the field, uses a detailed outline format, mak-

ing the information easier to read, understand, and reference. The Fourth Edition has been revised and updated throughout, continues its focus on the hygienist’s role in periodontal therapy, and adds a number of new features designed to help students apply what they are learning to clinical patient care situations. Five Comprehensive Patient Cases —two brand-new to this edition—include clinical photos, radio- graphs, and periodontal charts to help students develop practice skills as they apply and integrate content from the entire book to patient periodontal care planning. FEATURES ▶ ▶ An easy-to-use, easy-to-reference outline format makes it easy for readers to identify, learn, and review key concepts. ▶ ▶ Hundreds of full color illustrations and clinical photographs visually reinforce chapter content. ▶ ▶ A Focus on Patients feature asks readers to apply chapter content in the context of clinical periodontal care. ▶ ▶ New chapter-opening Clinical Patient Care features spell out the relevance of chapter content to patient care. ▶ ▶ Evidence-based content is integrated throughout, ensuring the most current, reliable information. ▶ ▶ New Evidence in Action features assist students in applying current evidence-based research findings to clinical patient care. ▶ ▶ New Ethical Dilemmas features help students apply the difficult concept of legal/ethical issues to the patient care setting. ▶ ▶ Learning Objectives and Key Terms provide a “road map” to module topics and help students master a whole new dental vocabulary. ▶ ▶ A complete online audio glossary provides quick access to common periodontal terminology and pronunciation.
