Review

"This book was a truly great read. The way the book is written ensures that all key aspects of periodontology and implatology are covered, while the content remains concise and to the point. The use of highlighted tables allows the reader to remember key information within the text, such as the clinical features of both chronic and aggressive periodontitis, with comparisons between the two types for easier differentiation. I found the use of case reports with clinical pictures to be very useful as it helped visualise and conceptualise the information and also allowed the reader to apply the information to clinical situations that many arise in his or her career... I would recommend this book to any undergraduate student, as I think it would truly help in their studies." British Dental Journal, January 2014
