Dental hygienists are becoming very much more important in clinical dental practice. This book brings together the various elements of clinical practice undertaken by dental hygienists in the light of current techniques and research, and is designed to support the second part of their training course. A practical book, Clinical Dental Hygiene recognises the need for an holistic approach by bringing together topics which would normally be encountered in a number of different texts. A bibliography provides selected further reading which allows a deeper understanding and interpretation of the text.
