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!

Extraordinary textbook for general clinicians and dental students wishing to get into the TMJ Disorders field. It is worth every buck paid on it.

This book is really good and I'd highly recommend it for those who are interested in prosthodontics or for those who find TMD an interesting subject, gives you an indepth of everything you need about the TMJ, from anatomy to diagnosis, to a full clinical picture with treatment options, the whole thing.

This book is wonderful. The first few chapters especially, taught me so much about the anatomy and mechanics of the TMJ. This book is a great addition to a dentist's library!

I believe this bood does a very good job in explaining the functional aspects of occlusion and the TM joint. My only concern is that for the price, I would expect a book with color photographs and maybe even a CD-rom. That being said, I think the information and organization is great.

I am a dental student at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland. I borrowed the book from a professor for reference while I created an online course on Masticatory Dynamics. I found Okeson's book to be well written with clear wording and adequate illustrations. It also helped me understand several different options available to treat a patient suffering from bruxism. A good reference.

I would like to say Dr. Okeson's pedagogic disposition and clear explanations provide a fast, yet safe, route to a broad comprehension of the subject. But I would add that he has included a great dry sense of humour and wit into his photographs and text, to make this book one that even my 8 year old child loved reading. With the style of a Dr Seuss book, crossed with the attention to detail of beatrix potter's illustrations, I am sure this will remain a family favourite for generations to come.

Occasionally, I rmove it from the book shelf and present pages to patients, who also find relief in the likght hearted content. The scary picture on the cover is no indication of what really lurks behind the preface

es nuestro libro texto en el posgrado de la facultad de odontología de la universidad de antioquia, en la catedra de oclusión y articulación temporomandibular. lo considero muy ordenado secuencialmente para orientar al profesional en el diagnostico diferencial y tratamiento de sus pacientes.
