Publisher's Synopsis
The long-term success of periodontal therapy is dependent on proper diagnosis and removal of subgingival tooth-borne accretions in the form of calculus and bacteria. From a clinical perspective, better visualisation during the diagnostic and therapeutic phases has been shown to yield better results compared to traditional approaches. This book evaluates the advantages of using minimal invasive techniques, the technologies available for enhancing visualisation during minimally invasive therapy, and step-by-step illustrates the clinical use of each technique. Each chapter addresses the advantages and disadvantages of minimally invasive therapies, rationale for the approach, and the advantages and limitations of each of the current methods of improving visualisation.
