| The Clinical Management of Temporomandibular Disorders and Occlusion, 6th Edition by Jeffrey P Okeson, DMD |
This textbook provides step-by-step guidelines for patient diagnosis and treatment. It has become a
classic text providing an excellent foundation for the concept of occlusion and how it affects the
temporomandibular joint. The sixth edition includes thoroughly revised content, new photos and
illustrations, and updates on temporomandibular disorders and occlusion. The logical and practical
approach to the subject highlights each major treatment with case reports that bring the clinical
experience to life and helps the reader grasp concepts more clearly.
REVIEW OF 5th 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." - Journal of Prosthodontics - September 2003
