Biology of the Periodontal
Connective Tissues
Editorial Reviews
From Book News, Inc.
A reference combining fundamentals of molecular and cellular
biology with basic information about the composition of extracellular matrices.
This body of information is then applied to normal and diseased connective
tissues of the periodontium and to clinical problems. Subjects include
inflammation and wound healing, structure and regulation of collagens,
developmental aspects of the periodontium, and connective tissue elements as
diagnostic markers for gingival crevicular fluid. Includes color and b&w photos,
and two- color diagrams. For residents, graduate students, and researchers.
