Great textbook
Customer Rating:
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
Customer Rating:
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

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!
