Carranza's Clinical Periodontology: Second South Asia Edition is a complete and thorough presentation of periodontology essentials while retaining the style and quality that makes the book the number one periodontal textbook in the world. The gold standard since 1947, Carranza's Clinical Periodontology is more than just a textbook, it features expert leadership, an improved organization, and new online features. It describes techniques in reconstructive, esthetic, and implant therapy, and explains the evidence supporting each treatment. Renowned authorities help you learn the fundamentals, make the best clinical decisions, get the best results from each procedure, avoid complications, and exceed your patients' expectations. Over 1650 images in the book beautifully illustrate the details of specific conditions and treatments. Though the basic concepts remain the same, the sections on Tooth brush design, Dentifrices and Chemical plaque biofilm control with oral rinses in the chapter 'Plaque Biofilm Control' have been totally revamped to include more details for better understanding. Additionally, classification of Chemical plaque control agents which was not there in earlier editions has also been included. Since the book is targeted for UG students, only the pertinent and basic concepts of Implantology have been retained in print form, the rest have been made available online. Comprehensive coverage includes the etiology and treatment of periodontal diseases, the relationship between periodontal disease and systemic health, and oral implant dentistry The book comes with complimentary access to enhanced e-book with additional reads on: The Historical Background of Periodontology Molecular Biology of Host-Microbe Interactions Gingival Disease in Childhood Desquamative Gingivitis Necrotizing Ulcerative Periodontitis Masticatory System Disorders that Influence the Periodontium Sleep-Disordered Breathing Significance of Clinical and Biologic Information Conscious Sedation Periodontal Therapy in the Female Patient Periodontal Treatment for Older Adults Occlusal Evaluation and Therapy Multidisciplinary Approach to Dental and Periodontal Problems Results of Periodontal Treatment Atlas of Periodontal Diseases Electronic Dental Records and Decision Support Systems Locally Delivered, Controlled-Release Antimicrobials: Drug Development and Clinical Research
