This succinct source provides current concepts on the significance and consequences of the accumulation of plaque and calculus and the techniques used for their removal. Procedures for both the patient and the professional to perform are described, including traditional mechanical and electronically assisted procedures and new ultrasonic and chemotherapeutic techniques. A section on patients with endosseous dental implants makes the book especially up-to-date.
