Summary: I BOUGHT IT! AND I LOVE IT
Comment: 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

Summary: Great source!
Comment: 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!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Good but overpriced
Comment: 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.
