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. 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. Written by leading experts Michael Newman, Henry Takei, Perry Klokkevold, and Fermin Carranza, along with a pool of international contributors, this edition also discusses the close connection between oral health and systemic disease. A new Expert Consult website includes the entire, fully searchable contents of the book, and takes learning to a whole new level with content updates, videos, a drug database, and much more.

This textbook is very difficult to use in its new format. The reader is directed to go online for much of the essential content, requiring a new personal copy of the book. 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!). So if you want to know what the PDL is, you will need to go online. Unlike many textbooks which offer supplementary materials online, this book offers essential material online only. 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. What about students accessing this book at the library? Nope, they cannot access content either because they will not have a personal login. The microbiology chapter has a box nearly every paragraph instructing the reader to go online for more information. 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.By CONCIA
Furthermore, the online content is not user friendly. Navigation is very difficult- it opens a window within a window, requiring double scrolling. Many sections are empty or poorly populated and hard to search.
I used to love Carranza for being a good, straightforward, easy to use text, but this new version is anything but. I'd recommend switching to the Lindhe text.
This book focuses too heavily on the epidemiological and biochemical underpinnings of periodontology and has little helpful information from a clinical perspective, which is surprising given the list of co-authors. I know that those aspects of the field are important, but the text simply does not emphasize actual procedures or techniques in a user-friendly way. For example, after reading the chapter on bone grafts, the reader will be well informed on the history and molecular makeup of different grafting materials, but won't really be any more knowledgeable about how to perform the procedure. I understand there's more to perio surgery than step-by-step pictorials of how to do a procedure, but a landmark text on the field should have more focus on clinically treating patients.By Matthew Windham Hillis
