ABOUT THE BOOK:-
Manual of Temporomandibular Disorders, Third Edition is a handbook of information on temporomandibular disorders and an array of medical and dental conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), masticatory muscles, and contiguous structures. The book provides evidence–based, clinically practical information that allows dentists to diagnose TMD accurately, rule out disorders that mimic TMD (that is, make a differential diagnosis), and provide effective therapy for most patients. This book offers comprehensive coverage in a compact package. In a conversational tone, Dr. Wright focuses on solving TMD problems at chairside. The author’s crisp, engaging writing style allows the clinician to find precise answers quickly, without wading through a morass of detail. Changes to this third edition include: integration of sleep apnea with TMD (including graphs from studies about TMD aggravation and occlusal changes from oral sleep apnea appliances); expansion of the Topical Medications section including new topical medications (including efficacy graphs); expansion of the Nutritional Supplements section (including efficacy graphs); techniques for preventing TMD aggravation from dental treatment; more tables summarizing material; updated patient handouts; revised terminology to correspond with the newly recommended terminology; and completely updated references.
