5.0 out of 5 stars DH Educator's Choice, March 28, 2008
This review is from: Fundamentals of Periodontal Instrumentation and Advanced Root Instrumentation (Spiral-bound)
This is by far the MOST CURRENT and methodical periodontal instrumentation book ever written! This latest edition contains fabulous photos in color and every skill is presented in an easy to follow step by step format. The author, Jill S. Nield-Gehrig, is known by the educators' as "The Genius of Dental Hygiene Education". It is no wonder that "Fundamentals of Periodontal Instrumentation and Advanced Root Instrumentation" is the dental hygiene educator's choice for students. In fact, in 2007, more educators adopted this dental hygiene text than any other clinical dental hygiene text on the market! If you want to teach or learn the latest techniques that are based on sound current research in ergonomics and effectivness, this is the ONLY book you will need.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a Super Text!, March 28, 2008

This review is from: Fundamentals of Periodontal Instrumentation and Advanced Root Instrumentation (Spiral-bound)
I have been teaching dental hygiene instrumentation since 1971, now I wonder how instructors ever did it without a text like "Fundamentals of Periodontal Instrumentation and Advanced Root Instrumentation." This text provides the words and the images so that our students "get it". It is amazinig how everything is broken down into clear steps with prompts that help put everything together. This is not just a text for schools. Practicing hygienists get this text. I guarantee you will be amazed at how much you will learn. You won't be able to put it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fundamentals of Periodontal Instrumentation, April 2, 2008
This review is from: Fundamentals of Periodontal Instrumentation and Advanced Root Instrumentation (Spiral-bound)
This is the best resource for teaching and learning periodontal instrumentation on the market. It is written in such a way that each small movement is reduced to exact detail so that scaling becomes an art and science.
