Periodontal Diseases

The sole purpose of “Periodontal Diseases: Risk Assessment and Management” is to provide evidence based concise material to dental clinicians, physicians, medical and dental postgraduate students as well as those in residency training necessary for the treatment of patients suffering from both periodontal disease and systemic involvement. This effort should prove useful in illuminating the influence of systemic and environmental risk factors that alter the expression of periodontal disease. Assessment and management of risk factors is important for individuals who wish to keep themselves updated with the current research and knowledge imperative for improving the total health care of our society.
