Proceedings of the 2nd European Workshop on Periodontology

An unusually organized proceedings collection from the February 1996 workshop presenting position papers and the results of a collective consensus in response to the survey of research in the areas of antibiotics, antiseptics, toothpastes, chemicals for regeneration, and chemicals in diagnosis. The 29 selections function as a "syllabus" for dentists and specialists and deal with specific topics such as the prophylactic use of antibiotics in periodontics, the role of antiseptics in primary prevention, the anti-plaque efficacy of toothpastes, root surface conditioning, and the management of selected mucosal disorders affecting the gingiva. Includes charts. Lacks an index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
