Walking dental hygiene students step-by-step through the "how to"--not
just the "what" and "why"--of using periodontal and root instruments,
this 8th Edition of Jill Gehrig's definitive resource features new
chapters, new online technique videos, updated coverage of the latest
evidence-based techniques and equipment, and an expanded array of online
teaching and learning resources. Designed to make it easy for students
to learn instrumentation, this practical book first takes students
through basic skills--patient positioning, intraoral finger rests, and
basic instrumentation--then covers advanced techniques, including
assessment of periodontal patients and instrumentation of the root
branches of multirooted teeth, root concavities, and furcation areas.
