Key Features
- Comprehensive coverage of the physical examination
of the masticatory system provides an invaluable aid in diagnosis. - Diagnostic
algorithms for various classes of disorders serve as a road map for readers as
they sort through a patient?s signs and symptoms. - Case examples accompany each
major treatment chapter to increase understanding and relevance. - A thorough
discussion of the etiology of temporomandibular disorders makes readers more
familiar with the causes of chronic orofacial pain. - Discussions of specific
treatment techniques such as using muscle relaxants and bite plates highlight
current clinical studies.
Reviews
From Joseph A. Toljanic
This book is in its sixth
edition (first published in 1985). It is intended to review the anatomic and
physiological bases of temporomandibular dysfunction and occlusion as well as
provide guidance in diagnosis and treatment. The purpose of this book is, first,
to provide a practical approach to understanding masticatory function and the
relationship to temporomandibular dysfunction; and second, to provide a
step-by-step guide for patient diagnosis and treatment. This text successfully
offers a concise and logically formatted review of a complex and often
misunderstood area of dentistry. The author does not specifically identify a
target audience, but it appears to be practitioners of restorative dentistry and
prosthodontics as well as students at the resident/graduate level. This text is
too advanced for use at the undergraduate level. This author is unknown to the
reviewer. However, the command of the subject matter demonstrated in the text
suggests credible authority. The illustrations (diagrams, drawings, and
black-and-white photographs) are typically of adequate quality and quantity for
the subject matter. Some photographs demonstrating material on occlusion lack
sufficient detail to complement text description. The text is very well and
often heavily referenced using the latest literature. A very useful appendix is
included, demonstrating in flow chart format the decision making process in
diagnosis and treatment for all of the muscular and joint pathologies. The
overall appearance of the book is adequate for subject matter presented and in
keeping with other similar books currently on the market. This is a well written
and organized book that should serve as an excellent reference resource for the
complex field of occlusion and temporomandibular dysfunction. The addition of
references describing the most up-to-date research in the field suggests value
for the new edition.
