The Perio Handbook: The Complete Guide to Modern Periodontics

A comprehensive overview of periodontology, beginning with a detailed description of the anatomical structures that make up the periodontium, such as the gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. The handbook then transitions into an extensive discussion of periodontitis, covering its epidemiology, pathogenesis driven by microbial biofilms and host response, and its systemic links to conditions like diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease. Furthermore, the text outlines the complete clinical process for managing periodontal disease, including assessment and diagnosis methods like the Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE) and six-point pocket charts, treatment through both non-surgical and surgical therapy, and strategies for patient education and long-term supportive care.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/dentistry_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
