Rarely does a scholarly work bridge the gap between academic underpinnings and utility for the practitioner. Practical Periodontal Plastic Surgery fulfills that role and is arguably the most useful book available on the subject today. Like all scholarly works, the content is not static and it requires updating. This second edition fills the gaps created by new discoveries and advances in the field since the publication of the first edition.

The essence of any practical guide to surgical procedures is the understanding of the biology, anatomy, and technical complexities of the procedures described. Omitting any of these elements limits the utility of the work. This book is indeed practical in every sense of the word. It is complete as well as directly useful. The clearly written chapters by the most expert educators and practitioners in the field provide an easily understood and valuable guide to experienced practitioners and students alike.
