TMDs: An Evidence-based Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment

Description

Editors Laskin (oral and maxillofacial surgery, Virginia Commonwealth U. Schools of Dentistry and Medicine), Greene (orofacial pain studies, U. of Illinois College of Dentistry) and Hylander (biological anthropology and anatomy, Duke U.) divide these 36 articles into one section addressing the biologic bases of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and another on clinical management. Within the first section, normal TMJ anatomy and function are distinguished from pathologies, injuries and dysfunctional conditions that can affect the TMJ complex. In the second section, papers on diagnostic modalities in current use precede those covering the diagnosis of specific clinical conditions. Chapters on the various therapeutic modalities that have been recommended in the literature (each of which is subjected to critical scrutiny in the text) precede the papers on specific treatment protocols.
