Conglomerates of Periodontal Therapy- A comprehensive review - Yogita Landge - Bog

Chronic periodontitis is a multifactorial inflammatory disease associated with the accumulation of dental plaque, characterised by progressive destruction of the teeth-supporting apparatus, including the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Inorder to maximize the successful patient outcome, Clinicians need to have more efficient and effective skills to make clinical decisions based on the scientific evidence. Systematic reviews (SRs), meta-analysis (MAs) have strict protocols to reduce bias and the synthesis of research from more than one study provides a summary of multiple research studies. SRs utilize the explicit criteria for retrieval, assessment and synthesis of evidence from individual RCTs and other well controlled methods. It also provides a way of managing large quantities of information and making it easy to keep current with new research. MAs is a statistical process used to combine the data from individual studies in SR which increase the precision of estimates of treatment. This book is a comprehensive array of treatment modalities in surgical and non-surgical periodontal therapies.
