Review

“With so many excellent aspects of implant dentistry covered in such great detail, it should be easy to see why I therefore recommend this fine textbook as a ‘must reference’ for any practitioner involved with the placement and/or restoration of implants. The editors are to be commended for their studious and detailed fine work.” (Implant Dentistry, April 2009)

"I would highly recommend this book to undergraduates, postgraduates, clinicians and researchers … .Who will no doubt refer to this text time and time again." (Dental Update, November 2008)

"This is a comprehensive textbook … it is useful to those at all stages of their under-graduate career." (British Dental Journal, August 2008)

4.0 out of 5 stars Clinical Periodontology and Implant Dentistry, January 6, 2007

By	VG barbie (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clinical Periodontology and Implant Dentistry (Hardcover)

the book is very thorough explaining all about periodontology. But in some chapters, sometimes the words are so complex and need to be read repeatedly in order to get the meaning of the authors.In my opinion, using the simplest word is possible the best option for every reader, especially when you are in hurry time before exam, the simplest word is making the life easier. This book is recommended by my tutors.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings, August 29, 2003

By	Kavity Killer (denver, colorado United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clinical Periodontology and Implant Dentistry (Hardcover)

There is a lot of information in this book, and I mean a lot. That's a good thing right? Yes and no. For being such a large, reference oriented book, this has one of the worst indexes I have ever seen. Its terrible. They obviously spent a great deal of time on the book, and its mind-boggling that they wouldn't put a good index in. As such, this is pretty much worthless for quick references. So we are left with a HUGE book, probably suitable only for perio residents, since they are probably the only ones with the motivation, obssesiveness, and lack of sanity to plow through this. Add a good index, and I'd give it five stars.
