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.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.
This textbook is OK, it's good on explaining the etiology of Periodontal diseases. Not so very good for surgical techniques and more advanced periodontics. The fact that half the book is published in online chapters is NOT a plus, since usually when buying a physical book you expect all relevant information to be at your disposal, not needing to access your computer. Why have a physical book at all then?A big turn off is the inaccuracies in the first chapters on the history of periodontology and medicine.This is an important chapter since it describes how periodontics evolved as a sub-discipline in medicine and dentistry.First of all, Avecinna was a famous Persian polymath and father of modern medicine, NOT Arabic or Arab as stated in Carranzas textbook. His most famous works are The Book of Healing, a vast philosophical and scientific encyclopaedia, and The Canon of Medicine which was a standard medical text at many medieval universities. The Canon of Medicine was used as a text-book in the universities of Montpellier and Louvain as late as 1650.Second of all, Per-Ingvar BrÃ¥nemark is the Swedish modern founder of Osseointegration, his name is spelled Bränemark in Carranzas, which is of course inaccurate and highly inappropriate.Third of all, there is no mention of Jan Lindhe. Perhaps the most prominent Periodontist of all times. Probably due to the fact that Jan Lindhes book is in competition to this. On that note, the Lindhe book is much more comprehensive, thorough, well-organized, accurate and relevant in my opinion.Overall, an OK book for introductory level Periodontology. Not so well-structured and in desperate need of a thorough proof-reading before next print.
The info seems pretty straight forward, especially for my course. also it's a little annoying that you have to constantly be bouncing back and forth between the text and the online digital part of the book.
I'm extremely disappointed with the numerous referrals to the internet portion of the book. It wastes timegoing back and forth from the book to the internet.In addition, the 11th ed, internet portion ,cannot be accessed; so there was a lot of information I lost.My opinion, the internet/book idea, is specious, at best!
Horrible. Every time I tried to look up something, it was online instead. I bought the textbook because I wanted to read it in a textbook not on the computer.Edit: Online version no longer available. I have not heard anything back from customer support.
Idiot!! Now they discontinued from the website. ALL GONE
It is excellent book but I hate that a lot of subjects limited to on line version and that some clinical slides are black and white
