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.
