REVIEW OF CURRENT EDITION:

"With this textbook being in its 5th edition, it is very well-honed and up-to-date with its rich number of scientific references for each chapter (more than 1850 references in total). The author is internationally renowned for his knowledge and expertise in the fields of occlusion and TMD, and this is portrayed throughout the maturity and depth of the present textbook.

Complementing the text are very clear and useful black and white graphics and illustrations, many of which are original to the illustrator, Allison Lucas Wright, while others are photographs of actual patient cases from the author as well as from others to whom the author provides credit. Still other illustrations and graphics are reflective of various imaging modalities of the temporomandibular joint and its associated structures."

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Have" Classic., April 15, 2002

By 

Hans Lennros (Halmstad, Halland Sweden) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Management Of Temporomandibular Disorders And Occlusion, 4e (Hardcover)

A "must have" for any dental library, personal or academic.

Dr. Okeson's pedagogic disposition and clear explanations provide a fast, yet safe, route to a broad comprehension of the subject. Throughout the four parts (Functional Anatomy, Etiology & Identification, Treatment of Functional disturbances, and Occlusal Therapy) Okeson presents a logical and documented learning experience for readers at all levels of understanding. The authors' concise writing style leads the reader through the various conditions and controversies to provide a clear, concise understanding of the function and dysfunction of the temporomandibular system.

Nearly 600 pages of informative text are summarized into 10 diagnostic/therapeutic algorithms conveniently located in the appendix. A definitive classic!
