The foremost instructional goal of Fundamentals is to make it easy for students to learn and faculty to teach instrumentation. The fifth edition retains the features that have made it the market-leading textbook on periodontal instrumentation and adds many new features designed to facilitate learning and teaching. The clear, step-by-step self-instructional format allows the learner to work independently—fostering student autonomy and decision-making skills.   More >><< Less
