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

I BOUGHT IT! AND I LOVE IT
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

the more usefull book for tmd students
In Brazil this text book is the number one for tmd dental students
The new version is very didatic and usefull for booth professionals and students
I use as the main text book in the tmd and orofacial pain class in my dental school

Very good book
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.

Great source!
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! ... Read more

From the supplier: Defense counsel faced with growing numbers of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) cases need a general understanding of this disorder. Bad posture can predispose people to TMJ and chronic pain from whiplash. Malocclusion is present in two-thirds of the population and the muscular hyperactivity this condition leads to can also cause TMJ symptoms, as can psychological stress. TMJ is really a generic term rather than a specific diagnosis and can be described as a disease of maladaptation. Conservative, non-invasive procedures should be tried before invasive ones.

From the supplier: Dental researchers established the intercausality of whiplash and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in the 1980s and showed that whiplash victims were predisposed to TMD. The dental profession's success at curing patients of pain improved significantly after this recognition. High-tech innovations used by dentists to diagnose and treat these disorders include sonography, computerized mandibular scanners and myomonitors.

From the supplier: The diagnosis of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and assessments of the efficacy of treatment have traditionally been based on subjective reports of symptoms and symptom relief. This has often redounded to the defense's detriment since stress plays such a large part in TMD. Objective measurements, such as the computerized mandibular scanner, electromyograph and electrosonograph are now available and should be used. These technologies can also help evaluate the efficacy of therapy. Objective data will not always favor the defense but is still preferable to totally subjective evidence.
