Book Review Recent Advances in Periodontology, Vol. II. S. I. Gold, M. Midda and S. Mutlu. Pp. 532. 1991. Amsterdam, Elsevier. Hardback, $ 164.00. Recent Advances in Periodontology, Vol. II, edited by Steven I. Gold, the late Marsh Midda and Serdar Mutlu presents the proceedings of the Fourth International Academy of Periodontology meeting held in Istanbul in September 1990. The text of the invited lectures, symposia, and free papers are presented in their entirety. Of particular interest to clinicians will be the review of the changing face of dentistry. This excellent introductory paper stresses not only dentistry’s past success in improving oral health, especially with regard to reduction in the prevalence of caries, but also focuses on current state-of-the-art research efforts to target high-risk populations for oral diseases, to understand better the underlying pathophysiology of periodontal diseases, and to facilitate technology transfer from the laboratory to patient. Regeneration ‘of periodontal ligament, cementum and ideally alveolar bone is a major goal of contemporary periodontal therapy. The paper by Bernard S. Moskow is clearly reasoned and takes into account not only the purported advantages and possible disadvantages of grafting procedures and guided tissue regeneration, but also considers the use of antimicrobial agents, and
scaling, root planing and curettage. For a more complete review of the guided tissue regeneration procedure and its potential results, the reader is referred to the paper by Jack Caton et a/. Of particular interest are the data using both biodegradable and non-resorbable membranes. Periodontal diseases, including periodontitis and gingivitis, have been recognized as bacterial infections. Recent Advances in Periodontology presents several papers concerning antimicrobial therapy for both gingivitis and periodontitis. The clinician is referred to papers by Drs Murayama and Goodson for studies regarding the efficacy of local delivery of tetracyclines for the control of periodontitis. The symposia addressed the control of plaque and gingivitis using agents containing zinc and triclosan. No review of modern periodontics would be complete without a discussion of the application of dental implants to periodontology. Both case report-type papers and a critical review, by lacono et a/., of the clinical and microbial evaluation of implant success and failure are available. In summary, Recent Advances in Periodontology, covers a wide range of topics of interest in periodontology today. If at times, the papers whet the appetite of the reader, leaving him/her anxious for more detail, then that was the likely goal of the editors. M. Jeffcoat
