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
This is one of the best books in the fields of orthodontics in the recent years I think in the form of a textbook. ... Read more

Book Description

Teeth are among the best sources of evidence for both identification purposes and studies of demography, biological relationships, and health in ancient human communities.

This text introduces the complex biology of teeth and provides a practical guide to all essential aspects of dental anthropology, including excavation, identification, microscopic study, and tooth age determination. Dental Anthropology is a concise yet comprehensive resource designed for students and researchers in anthropology and archaeology. ... Read more

A stellar approach to diagnosis
If you want to learn a disciplined, orderly approach to the diagnosis of a difficult oral lesion, this is your starting point.I have taught oral diagnosis and oral pathology since 1987, and I keep coming back to it.The beauty of this text, especially the opening chapters, is that it makes sense of the correlation between the macroscopic appearance and microscopic appearance of a lesion.That way, histopathology starts to make sense to the novice. ...

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.

A "Must Have" Classic.
A "must have" for any dental library, personal or academic.

Dr. Okeson's pedagogic disposition and clear explanations provide a fast, yet safe, route to a broad comprehension of the subject. Throughout the four parts (Functional Anatomy, Etiology & Identification, Treatment of Functional disturbances, and Occlusal Therapy) Okeson presents a logical and documented learning experience for readers at all levels of understanding. The authors' concise writing style leads the reader through the various conditions and controversies to provide a clear, concise understanding of the function and dysfunction of the temporomandibular system.

Nearly 600 pages of informative text are summarized into 10 diagnostic/therapeutic algorithms conveniently located in the appendix. A definitive classic!

excelente orientación para el manejo de atm
es nuestro libro texto en el posgrado de la facultad de odontología de la universidad de antioquia, en la catedra de oclusión y articulación temporomandibular. lo considero muy ordenado secuencialmente para orientar al profesional en el diagnostico diferencial y tratamiento de sus pacientes.

Great book for learning new treatments
I am a dental student at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland. I borrowed the book from a professor for reference while I created an online course on Masticatory Dynamics. I found Okeson's book to be well written with clear wording and adequate illustrations. It also helped me understand several different options available to treat a patient suffering from bruxism. A good reference. ... Read more

Stedman's is the best!
Absolutely agree with the earlier review posted below. This volume was published in 1999, and an updated volume should be coming along soon, but meanwhile, this exhaustive collection of words relating especially to ears, nose, throat, and teeth is without peer. If you're an MT looking into expanding your library because you've found yours wanting, Stedman's is the place to look, and this book is a crucial part of such a library.

Best reference for plastic surgery/ENT/dentistry words
"Plastic Surgery/ENT/Dentistry Words" is a gem of a reference for the transcriptionist doing work in any of these specialty areas. It is chock full with 69,000 entries derived from >40,000 medical words, phrases, abbreviations, and acronyms. These are conveniently cross-referenced. Who of us has not heard, for example, some kind of "flap" mumbled by the dictator while transcribing a surgical report; here, a list of >4½ pages of various types of flaps are blessedly enumerated. Additionally, surgical instruments and medications are handily listed as well.

Four appendixes complete this volume: 1) anatomical illustrations [54 pages of them!], 2) sample reports [op notes] ranging in variety from typical liposuction surgery to an orbiculopexy, 3) common terms of procedure [such as septoplasty terms, etc.], and 4) common herbs in both Latin and common terminology. This latter is interesting, but I am confounded as to what is its use in this volume.

Nevertheless, this handy volume is really the Bible when it comes to a reference for anyone transcribing medical reports in the above-mentioned specialty areas. I recommend it highly! ... Read more

Comprehensive text for dental hygienists on periodontology!
In the past, editors watered down their texts for dentists and served them to dental hygienists. This textbook has always considered the dental hygienist a central focus in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. I have used this text as a reference for my CE courses and studies, but also for my patients in order to understand grafts, implants and other aspects of treatment that sometimes are not fully explained my practitioners. This area has expanded so much in new technologies that I am already looking forward to the next edition. ... Read more
