    Now in full color, with over 1,400 photographs and illustrations, the Sixth Edition of this market-leading text is a step-by-step, highly visual guide to the how-to's of periodontal instrumentation. It takes students from basic skills such as patient positioning, intraoral finger rests, and basic instrumentation, all the way to advanced techniques such as assessment of periodontal patients and instrumentation of multirooted teeth, root concavities, and furcation areas. Critical thinking activities and patient cases promote application of concepts and problem-solving skills.

    A brand-new bonus DVD packaged with this edition includes video clips demonstrating the techniques covered in the book.


    Key Features
    • Techniques depicted with photographs and illustrations.
    • Handle position landmarks and icons indicate treatment areas, clock-position, patient head position, and handle position, to provide quick reference while practicing techniques.
    • The "cookbook" approach guides students step by step through the how-to of instrumentation technique, which makes it easier for students to learn the difficult concepts, and easier for instructors to teach.
    • Includes instructions for both right-handed and left-handed students.
    • An entire 5-chapter section on Advanced Instrumentation Techniques guides students through the challenging techniques required for instrumentation of root surfaces within deep periodontal pockets.
    • Critical thinking activities in the "Practical Focus" section at the end of each chapter encourage application of concepts and problem solving skills.
    • Patient cases promote application of instrumentation concepts.
    • Learning objectives highlight important concepts in each chapter.

    Kim: Biostatistics for Oral Healthcare

    Like many projects, this project started out to meet a need: we were teaching classes of dental hygiene, dental and post graduate dentists and could not find a textbook in statistics designed with the dental health professional in mind. So, we started to write a brief syllabus. We realized that most dentists will not become researchers, however, all will become consumers of research and will need to understand the inferential statistical principles behind the professional journals they read.

    The goal of Biostatistics for Oral Healthcare is to give the reader a conceptual understanding of the basic statistical procedures used in the health sciences. Emphasis is given to the rationales, applications, and interpretations of the most commonly used statistical techniques rather than on their mathematical, computational, and theoretical aspects.

    Achieving an effective level of communication in a technical book is always a difficult challenge. If written at too low a level, a book will not really explain many important points and risks insulting intelligent readers as well as boring them. However, if written at too advanced a level, then a book may have difficulty finding an audience.

    We have tried to write at a fairly elementary level, but have not hesitated to discuss certain advanced ideas. And we have gone rather deeply into a number of important concepts and methods.

    DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS
    The content of Chapters 1 through 5 includes the basic concepts of statistics and covers descriptive statistics. Included are discussions of the rationale for learning and using statistics, mathematical concepts and guidelines for studying statistical concepts (Chapter 1); organizing and graphing data (Chapter 2); describing distributions, measures of central tendency, and measures of variation (Chapter 3); random variables including both discrete and continuous (Chapter 4); and the three most useful distributions in the health sciences: binomial distribution, Poisson distribution and normal distribution.

    INFERENTIAL STATISTICS
    The discussion of inferential statistics begins in Chapter 6 where the recurring question of sufficient sample size is addressed. Chapters 7 through 9 covers how to determine appropriate sample size for a population and compute confidence intervals as well as hypothesis testing and estimation for one-sample and two-sample cases for the mean and other statistics. Chapter 10 describes hypothesis testing for categorical data.

    ADVANCED TOPICS
    We began the text with a review of basic mathematical and statistical concepts and we end the text with some of the more sophisticated statistical concepts and procedures. We include discussions of one-way and two-way analysis of variance as well as a description of parametric statistical methods used for data analysis. And finally, we discuss non-parametric statistics and survival analysis that are particularly useful in dental and medical clinical trials.

    It is our sincere hope that the conceptual approach of this book will prove to be a valuable guide for dental health professionals in basic introductory courses as well as more advanced graduate level courses. We hope that we have been successful in providing an integrated overview of the most useful analytical techniques that students and practitioners are bound to encounter in their future studies, research activities and most importantly, as consumers of evidence based dentistry.

    We are grateful to Mr. J. Tanzman for his assistance in preparing the probability tables included in the Appendix. Thanks are also due to the students who took statistics courses in which the original manuscript was used as a textbook; their contributions to shaping this book can not be overstressed. Finally, it is a great pleasure to acknowledge Dr. Martha Nunn for her support and encouragement. Table H in the Appendix is her idea.
