Reviews Comments on the Previous Edition

‘This is probably one of the most comprehensive texts written for students on the subject of clinical periodontology and implant dentistry, and I believe will make an excellent text for both the undergraduate and graduate student in periodontics.’
Australian Dental Journal

‘This magnum opus is truly a tour de force . . . the reviewer quickly runs out of superlatives as he peruses this third edition of today’s number one source on clinical periodontology and implant dentistry . . . I cannot begin to do justice to the breadth and depth of this tome and the beautiful color illustrations that enhance the concepts.’
American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics
