Periodontist launches book on periodontal care

06 December 2024

The Perio Handbook by Reena Wadia will be launched on December 10, 2024.

It is a concise and easy-to-read guide set to transform the way dental practitioners approach periodontology in general practice.

Reena wrote The Perio Handbook to bridge the critical gap between university learning and real-world dental practice. Whether you’re a student, a newly graduated dentist, or a seasoned professional looking to refresh your knowledge, this guide delivers exactly what you need in a format that’s easy to navigate and instantly applicable. It ensures you will stay ahead of any medico-legal pitfalls with up-to-date advice and guidelines.

Reena said, “I wanted to create a resource that simplifies the complexities of periodontology for dental professionals, making it practical and accessible. The Perio Handbook is designed to inspire confidence in managing periodontal patients and elevate the quality of care provided.”

A crowd pleaser

The book has received a number of positive reviews. Iain Chapple, past president of the British Society of Periodontology and current director of research for the Institute of Clinical Sciences at the University of Birmingham, said, “The book successfully distils the huge evidence base of this rapidly expanding discipline into a practical guide designed for the whole dental team. It is ideal for students and new graduates, and clearly focuses on key periodontal topics for general practice.”

Len D’Cruz, head of BDA Indemnity, general dentist and practice owner, said, “This is not just another book on periodontology. Reena has expertly captured the practical essence of the subject, and her book is packed full of down-to-earth, practical advice, analogies, hints, and tips to improve your care and communication with patients, and systems that will make delivering periodontal care rewarding, successful, and always interesting.”

The book can be read and utilised by the whole dental team. Anna Middleton, dental hygienist and therapist, said, “Finally! A concise, modern, and up-to-date step-by-step handbook for clinicians managing periodontics at all stages of their careers.”

Leena Soltan, co-president of the British Dental Student Association, said, “As a dental student, I found this book to be an excellent resource for understanding periodontics. It’s clear and easy to navigate, making it perfect for both quick references as well as in-depth study. Covering everything from foundational knowledge to advanced surgical interventions, this book is a must-have textbook for any student looking to strengthen their knowledge in perio.”
