In line with the intention of the editors (from the Institute of Odontology at the Sahlgrenska Academy at Goteborg U. in Sweden, the U. of Berne School of Dental Medicine in Switzerland, and the U. of Aarhus Royal Dental College in Denmark) to have their textbook on clinical periodontology and implant dentistry be state of the art and run the gamut of topics within the field, this new edition has expanded to two volumes covering, respectively, basic concepts and clinical concepts. The first volume contains 25 chapters covering the anatomy of periodontal tissues, the edentulous alveolar ridge, bone as a tissue, osseointegration, periodontal tactile perception and peri-implant osseoperception, epidemiology of periodontal diseases, oral biofilms and calculus, periodontal infections, peri-implant infections, pathogenesis of periodontitis, modifying factors, susceptibility, trauma for occlusion for periodontal and peri-implant tissues, non-plaque induced inflammatory gingival lesions, plaque-induced gingival disease, aggressive periodontitis, necrotizing periodontal disease, periodontal disease as a risk for systemic disease, the periodontal abscess, lesions of endodontic origin, peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, and concepts in periodontal tissues regeneration. The second volume's 35 chapters discuss examination protocols, treatment planning protocols, infection control, reconstructive therapy, surgery for implant installation, reconstructive ridge therapy, occlusal and prosthetic therapy, orthodontics and periodontics, supportive care, and halitosis control.
