Periodontal Medicine is a sub-discipline of Periodontology which deals with non-plaque-induced conditions/lesions of the periodontal tissues, including the periodontal manifestations of systemic diseases and syndromes. It reminds us of the often forgotten and frequently ignored medical aspects of a traditionally surgical discipline. This heavily illustrated text attempts to guide the reader through over 100 conditions using their clinical presentation as the guiding principle to categorization.
