Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good but overpriced
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.
