Practical Periodontal Plastic Surgery, January 11, 2012
By M. Huynh

Good book for reference if you are already doing surgery in of office. There is no detail description on how to and where to make the incisions on most of them. A illustration drawing would help then following by photographs will definitely help. Most technique are described, one picture shows the before and 'presto' the next one it is finished with nice sutures, there are no between pictures to describe the how to so it is hard to see what went on to get to the result.

Periodontal surgery book review. I purchased this book., November 26, 2011
By chokbarnes

It was very nice to be able to digitally download this book. The few photos were of average quality. The references were quite outdated, some dating back to the 50's. I was hoping for much more discussion concerning basic surgical concepts for the average case and more in depth analysis and photographs when addressing the multiple special scenarios that one might come across in our practices. I was pretty disappointed with the book and am still looking for a better text to answer more of my many questions concerning periodontal surgery.

I found this humble looking book very useful. The procedures are well described in the text, even though many of the pictures are self explanatory. Those who are dedicated to oral, periodontal or implant surgery will find simple ways to enhance the outcome of their treatments. It also has a second part, Advanced Periodontal Plastic Surgery which is excellent.
