Temporomandibular Disorders TMDs: An Evidenced-Based Approach to Diagnosis And Treatment

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. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Presents A Unique Approach To Diagnosis And Management Of The Various Temporomandibular Disorders. Written By A Large Group Of Eminent Researchers And Clinicians, It Links Current Scientific Concepts Of Basic Anatomy, Physiology, Biomechanics, And Pathology Of The Temporomandibular Joint With Specific Diagnostic And Treatment Protocols That Are Based On Sound Clinical Data. Thus, In Keeping With The Current Thrust In Medicine And Dentistry, The Book Provides Access To The Best Available Evidence So That Clinicians Can Make Informed Rather Than Empirical Decisions About What Is Appropriate Therapy. Where Lack Of Data Or Rapid Changes In A Particular Discipline Do Not Allow For Evidence-based Conclusions Or Recommendations, The Book Highlights The Areas Of Agreement And Disagreement In Order To Expose The Deficiencies In Our Present Knowledge Base. In A Field Of Treatment Long Associated With Controversy, This Book Educates Readers About Which Current Practices Of Diagnosis And Treatment Are Strongly Supported By Scientific Research And Which Are Supported Only By Practical Experience And/or Anecdotal Evidence.

Mode Of Access: World Wide Web. This multidisciplinary textbook presents a unique approach to diagnosis and management of the various temporomandibular disorders. Written by a large group of eminent researchers and clinicians, it links current scientific concepts of basic anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and pathology of the temporomandibular joint with specific diagnostic and treatment protocols that are based on sound clinical data. Thus, in keeping with the current thrust in medicine and dentistry, the book provides access to the best available evidence so that clinicians can make informed rather than empirical decisions about what is appropriate therapy. Where lack of data or rapid changes in a particular discipline do not allow for evidence-based conclusions or recommendations, the book highlights the areas of agreement and disagreement in order to expose the deficiencies in our present knowledge base. In a field of treatment long associated with controversy, this book educates readers about which current practices of diagnosis and treatment are strongly supported by scientific research and which are supported only by practical experience and/or anecdotal evidence.
