这本书构成了Lexi-Comp的牙科参考图书馆系列的一部分，并被描述为一般牙医，牙科学生，牙科保健师和牙科卫生学生的快速参考。软背，环装订格式是相当实用的，章节标签使它非常容易使用。它是有吸引力的呈现和包含200多张优秀的彩色照片。12章每一章都按照逻辑顺序提供了一个很好的概述。整本书都是以问答形式写成的，这使得阅读非常容易，尽管这种方式有时会显得有点做作。有一个非常好的基础生物学的总结，其次是临床牙周病的更全面的覆盖。有不少于三章涵盖牙周缺损的外科治疗。也有简短的部分种植牙科和牙周紧急情况。最好的特点之一是大量非常清晰的照片，显示临床例子来支持文本。许多读者会发现样本治疗计划很有帮助，但显然不可能在本书的范围内涵盖每一种情况。作者给出了牙周治疗原则的一个很好的大纲，虽然他们似乎把重点放在咬合治疗的作用。令人失望的是，病人的动机和沟通在文本中没有得到那么多的重视。很明显，这本书确实是针对美国市场的。来自其他国家的读者可能会对美式拼写和术语感到困惑，比如“治疗师”（在这里用来指牙周病医生）。有一个大的附录包含美国牙周治疗保险代码，这对非美国读者没有用处。然而，关于手术治疗的章节提供了一个很好的介绍临床牙周病的这一方面，这往往不是很好地教在这个水平在英国。这本书非常适合目标读者，并且从头到尾写得很清楚。研究生或专家可能会对文本中缺乏参考文献感到沮丧，但在书的最后有一个全面的进一步阅读清单。所涵盖的材料和作者采取的方法肯定会补充临床牙周病的其他核心文本。g·夏普
This book forms part of Lexi-Comp’s Dental Reference Library series and is described as a quick reference for general dentists, dental students, dental hygienists and dental hygiene students. The soft back, ring-bound format is quite practical and the chapter tabs make it very easy to use. It is attractively presented and contains over 200 excellent colour photographs. The 12 chapters each provide a good overview of the material in a logical sequence. The whole book is written in a question-andanswer style format, which makes for very easy reading, although this approach can sometimes appear a little contrived. There is a very good summary of basic biology followed by more comprehensive coverage of clinical periodontics. There are no fewer than three chapters covering surgical treatment of periodontal defects. There are also brief sections on implant dentistry and periodontal emergencies. One of the best features is the high number of very clear photographs showing clinical examples to support the text. Many readers will find the sample treatment plans helpful, but it is obviously impossible to cover every scenario within the scope of this book. The authors give a good outline of the principles of periodontal treatment, although they appear to place an emphasis on the role of occlusal therapy. It is disappointing that patient motivation and communication are not given as much prominence in the text. It is apparent that this book is really aimed at the US market. Readers from other countries may be confused by American spellings and terms such as ‘therapist’ (used in this context to refer to a periodontist). There is a large appendix containing American Insurance Codes for periodontal treatment, which has no use for non-US readers. However, the chapters on surgical treatment provide a very good introduction to this aspect of clinical periodontics, which is often not well taught at this level in the UK. The book is well suited to the target readership and is clearly written throughout. Postgraduate students or specialists may be frustrated by the lack of references within the text, but there is a comprehensive list of further reading at the end of the book. The material covered and the approach taken by the authors would certainly complement other core texts in clinical periodontics. G. Sharpe
