Parodontologie von A bis Z: The Ultimate Guide for Dental Practitioners

Moderate to severe periodontal diseases affect half of young adults and two-thirds of young seniors (DMS V). Despite a declining prevalence, the demographic development and age dependence of the disease will lead to an increasing demand for treatment. Early detection, prevention, and effective therapy are, therefore, an indispensable part of every dental practice.

The book “PARODONTOLOGIE von A bis Z: Grundlagen für die Praxis” provides a compact overview of the clinical aspects of periodontology. From the anatomy of the periodontal apparatus to the etiology and diagnosis of periodontal diseases, and the various stages of periodontal therapy (including biofilm control, behavioral change, subgingival instrumentation, surgical therapy, and supportive periodontal therapy), all essential facts are summarized and illustrated with clinical examples and schematic drawings.

The 2nd edition incorporates numerous new and completely revised or updated contributions. The classification of periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions from 2018, the European (2020) and the German-adapted clinical guidelines for the treatment of periodontitis stages I, II, and III (2021) have been taken into account, ensuring that dental practitioners have access to the latest research and guidelines in the field.
