 Clinical Periodontology and Implant Dentistry, January 06, 2007

the book is very thorough explaining all about periodontology. But in some chapters, sometimes the words are so complex and need to be read repeatedly in order to get the meaning of the authors.In my opinion, using the simplest word is possible the best option for every reader, especially when you are in hurry time before exam, the simplest word is making the life easier. This book is recommended by my tutors.

 Mixed feelings, August 29, 2003

There is a lot of information in this book, and I mean a lot. That's a good thing right? Yes and no. For being such a large, reference oriented book, this has one of the worst indexes I have ever seen. Its terrible. They obviously spent a great deal of time on the book, and its mind-boggling that they wouldn't put a good index in. As such, this is pretty much worthless for quick references. So we are left with a HUGE book, probably suitable only for perio residents, since they are probably the only ones with the motivation, obssesiveness, and lack of sanity to plow through this. Add a good index, and I'd give it five stars.
