Book Reviews

Practical Periodontal Plastic Surgery

William Buchanan, D.D.S.


Serge Dibart and Mamdouth Karina Oxford, UK: Blackwell Munksgaard Ltd., 2006; www.dentistry.black-wellmunksgaard.com. 108 pp., illustrated, indexed $69.99 hardcover ISBN 9780813822686


This book provides a superbly illustrated quick reference illustrating the full spectrum of periodontal plastic surgery procedures and includes brief introductory chapters on use of microsurgery techniques in periodontal procedures.

The writing style and summary format make this book easy to read. Individual chapters are well organized with procedure background, indications, armamentarium, procedure, post-op care, and complication descriptions. The longest chapter focuses on implant soft tissue procedures. A brief guide to selection of preferred techniques for different conditions concludes the book. The printing, photographs, radiographs, and illustrations are of excellent quality in this indexed hardbound book. My only criticisms are that there is little discussion about evidence-based criteria for selection of different procedures and the references are limited.

This book would be an excellent addition to dental and specialty department reference libraries. Dental clinicians with an interest in periodontal plastic surgery may also want to add this well-illustrated quick reference book to their practice libraries.
