"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. Stand-alone modules provide step-by-step instructions for each major instrument classification (sickle scalars, universal curets, area-specific curets, etc.), providing instructors with maximum teaching flexibility. Module outlines make it easy for students to locate specific information. Chapter-opening learning objectives help students recognize and study important concepts. A step-by-step format allows students to work independently and at their own pace--fostering autonomy and decision-making skills. Key terms help students learn a whole new dental vocabulary as they move through the text. Study aids, including boxes, tables, and flow charts, visually reinforce important content and permit quick reference during technique practice and at-home review. Case-based patient experiences and critical thinking activities encourage students to apply concepts to clinical situations and help develop problem-solving skills." [source : éditeur].
