Qualified prophylaxis specialists play a central role in promoting and maintaining the oral health of patients. In the case of both PCR and the PAR treatment, parts of the service content can be delegated to qualified specialists in compliance with professional regulations. This requires dental professionals to have in-depth specialist knowledge of the causal interactions between dental biofilm and the periodontal or peri-implant tissues, the risk factors that can influence these processes, their effects on general health, and a good knowledge of the individual treatment steps.
A renowned team of authors with many years of experience in periodontology has compiled all the important topics in this book, taking into account current classifications, guidelines and directives for the treatment of periodontitis, peri-implant infections, and other periodontal diseases. Supplemented by legal principles and details on billing, this new and comprehensively color-illustrated book is intended to support the qualification of specialist staff.
