This textbook is OK, it’s good on explaining the etiology of Periodontal diseases. OK, but with many inaccuracies, October 1, 2011 I’d recommend switching to the Lindhe text. I used to love Carranza for being a good, straightforward, easy to use text, but this new version is anything but. Many sections are empty or poorly populated and hard to search. Navigation is very difficult- it opens a window within a window, requiring double scrolling.
Not conducive to studying at all to have to constantly go back and forth to access reading materials (not even interactive materials), although the decreased number of pages does make this book now easier to carry around.įurthermore, the online content is not user friendly. The microbiology chapter has a box nearly every paragraph instructing the reader to go online for more information. What about students accessing this book at the library? Nope, they cannot access content either because they will not have a personal login. Because you need your own login with a new book, no used copies will be useful- maybe good for the publisher, but that is really sad for students who are on a limited budget and for students who wish to sell the book when they have finished. Unlike many textbooks which offer supplementary materials online, this book offers essential material online only. So if you want to know what the PDL is, you will need to go online. For example, the entire chapter on “Anatomy of the supporting structures of the teeth” (Old chapter 5) is online only (buried on the website, hard to find, and the reader is not even told this is available online!). The reader is directed to go online for much of the essential content, requiring a new personal copy of the book. This textbook is very difficult to use in its new format. Extremely difficult to use., August 17, 2011

Not only does this book show how to do periodontal procedures, it describes how to best manage the outcomes and explains the evidence supporting each treatment. The most widely used periodontics text, Carranza’s Clinical Periodontology provides both print and online access to basic procedures as well as the latest in advanced procedures and techniques in reconstructive, esthetic, and implant therapy.
