Now a days, implant therapy has become an established treatment modality for single tooth replacement. But the localized ridge defect associated with missing teeth may create esthetic problems. Because of increasing esthetic demands, various soft tissue augmentation procedures have been proposed to surgically correct these defects. The aim of this book is to provide a narrative review concerning the significance of soft tissue at implant sites, soft tissue stability at implants & soft tissue grafting techniques for augmenting attached tissues around natural teeth and implant restorations. It intends to give the dental post graduate students and the general practitioner practical guidance in the form of an atlas which includes surgical procedures that may be performed in the dental office. This book may even be used by the practitioners for educating the patient.

Over the last few years, periodontal disease has become a serious oral health problem worldwide. P. gingivalis has long been implicated as a major etiological agent in the onset & progression of periodontitis. The fimbriae, an important virulence factor of P. gingivalis, have been classified into six genotypes (I-V, and Ib), based on the genomic diversity of the fimA gene. This book is based on research work that suggests a close association between periodontal disease activity and P. gingivalis type II fimA genotype. On the basis of this association, detection of type II fimA genotype can be recommended as a marker for periodontal disease diagnosis as well as its disease activity. This book will be of interest to researchers, under- and post-graduate students in microbiology, immunology, as well as molecular medicine and dentistry.
