Needs a copy editor, November 30, -0001
By Dan Nelson

I am a periodontist and I wanted to learn how hygienists are trained to examine and clean implants. There is some good information for hygienists, including clinical tips and some literature references. This book is written by a hygienist and geared toward hygienists, and it won't have the same level of detail or sophistication as one geared for dentists, especially specialists. For general dentists and specialists I would definitely recommend Stuart Froum's Dental Implant Complications over this textbook.

I have not finished reading this book yet, but I have already come across at least three typos. One identified a periodontal textbook, Periodontics: Medicine, Surgery and Implants as Prosthodontics: Medicine, Surgery and Implants. Little errors and typos are all over this book.

This book is invaluable to me. I needed a crash course on understanding my role as hygienist cleaning implants. This was well illustrated and very helpful. Highly recommend this book.
