Dawson text substantiated in general and radiologic practice
As a private practice general dentist for 18 years and an academic and practicing oral maxillofacial radiologist for 16 years I have experienced and seen that the TMJ, occlusion and musculature must function in concert in order for the patient to be comfortable.Dr. Dawson's book nicely organizes these fundamental concepts necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment of the teeth and oral structures.I recommend this book to my pre- and post doctoral students.

Dr. Dawson's Method's Completely Wrong & Harmful
Dr. Peter Dawson's method's are completely wrong and harmful and based on a concept that has long been proven to be seriously wrong.Centric relation as defining the correct spacing for condyle within the temporomandibular joint is completely wrong and anyone using this long outdated philosophy is injuring patients.For decades now the anatomy of the TM joint has been known and properly understood which has proven the concept of centric relation to be completely wrong and not consistant with proper joint positioning or optimum jaw joint health and no health professional, especially a dental professional, should ever push or put pressure on a patient's jaw as it CAUSES TMJ injuries.Dr. Dawson's theory that pushing on a patient's jaw and them reporting any pain caused by this procedure DIAGNOSES TMJ injuries is ridiculous as the action itself is causing the TMJ injuries that he claims this action diagnoses! Pain is the universal understood sign of injury and it is insane of Dr. Dawson to think this procedure, which causes pain as it directly injures the jaw joint since it does not naturally move the way Dr. Dawson instructs dentists to manipulate it to, diagnoses an injury when the jaw is not supposed to move this way in the first place and the pain he describes as a sign of a pre-existing injury...is actual a sign of an injury caused to the patient from doing this procedure.Any dental professional stupid enough to not see through the nonsense in this book and to follow it's methods deserves to have their license taken away as they are clearly injuring patients when there is abundant information available to them to show them that Dr. Dawson's methods and completely wrong.This book is a lesson in what NOT to do and should never be seen as valid or legitamate.

A classic
As a student, I grappled with the complexities of understanding the stomatognathic system. This book clarified so much for me that it became a standard reference. I recommend this book for anyone who is seeking mastery in the dental field. ... Read more

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!

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.

Something for everyone!
This book is an enormous help and reference to me whenever I have to do the family's teeth (I find it saves money - my wife does the haircuts), though there are some issues around acute temporomandibular disorders and chronic pain management that I do not feel are fully addressed.I fully agree with the reviewer from Columbia. ...

Great text
Execellent resource basic orthodontic review as well as for post graduate studies. Good aid to study for National Board Examinations

Excellent!
Dr. Bishara's book fills a gap in pre-doctoral dental education.From the perspective of a pediatric dentist, I enjoyed the emphasis placed on growth and development.This book is a great starting point for dental students or practicing dentists interested in orthodontics.

A very good textbook for any orthodontist
