Temporomandibular disorders

"Temporomandibular Disorders: A Problem-Based Approach provides its readers with a quick, systematic and logical approach to diagnosing and treating TMD. It acts as a clinical companion for dental students and practising dentists, providing backround on the basic principles of TMD, such as the anatomy of the temporomandibular joint, its physiology and pathology, as well as the clinical realities of managing patients presenting with TMD-related symptoms. Temporomandibular Disorders: A Problem-Based Approach uses a case-based approach for TMD diagnosis and management. The first four chapters cover the basic principles of TMD diagnosis and managment (anatomy, physiology and pathology, and their relationship to the clinical situation), the remaining chapters are based around problem-based case studies. The book features a systematic approach for all the case studies, allowing the reader to grasp quickly sections of didactic fact, as well as indications / contraindications in clinical situations"--Provided by publisher.
