Illustrated Advanced Technique of Periodontal Microsurgery

Description

This book is the English version of the long-selling “The Illustrated Advanced Technique of Periodontal Microsurgery,” enhanced with long-term follow-ups and new cases. The author is a pioneer in periodontal plastic surgery in Japan and has given lectures and hands-on courses worldwide. This book covers all periodontal plastic surgery procedures under a magnified field of view using a microscope. The book clearly explains treatments for gingival (soft tissue) morphology, such as root coverage, interdental papilla reconstruction, and alveolar ridge augmentation, as well as techniques for restoring gingival recession and other problems after implant treatment.
