520 Fundamentals of Periodontal Instrumentation & Advanced Root Instrumentation is the market-leading instructional guide to periodontal instrumentation that takes students from the basic skills-patient positioning, intraoral finger rests, and basic instrumentation all the way to advanced instrumentation techniques-assessment of periodontal patients and instrumentation of multirooted teeth, root concavities, and furcation areas. The foremost instructional goal of Fundamentals of Periodontal Instrumentation & Advanced Root Instrumentation is to make it easy for students to learn and faculty to teach instrumentation. The fifth edition retains the clear, step-by-step self-instructional format and adds many new features designed to facilitate learning and teaching. A major new section Advanced instrumentation techniques guides students through the challenging techniques required for instrumentation of root surfaces within deep periodontal pockets. This five-chapter section includes: probing techniques for periodontal patients; exploring root surfaces within periodontal pockets; instrumentation of multirooted teeth, root concavities, and furction areas; advanced fulcruming techniques; and use of curved, right- and left-slim ultrasonic tips. In addition to the features that instructors and students have come to love, Fundamentals of Periodontal Instrumentation & Advanced Root Instrumentation now includes: a 2-color format with digitally updated images; critical thinking activities; patient cases that promote application of instrumentation concepts; learning objectives that highlight important concepts in each chapter; and a glossary of instrumentation terms. - Cover.
