 Comprehensive text for dental hygienists on periodontology!, April 22, 1998
By Margaret J. Fehrenbach, RDH, MS, Educational ... (Seattle, WA)

In the past, editors watered down their texts for dentists and served them to dental hygienists. This textbook has always considered the dental hygienist a central focus in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. I have used this text as a reference for my CE courses and studies, but also for my patients in order to understand grafts, implants and other aspects of treatment that sometimes are not fully explained my practitioners. This area has expanded so much in new technologies that I am already looking forward to the next edition.
