Product Description:
 
In this groundbreaking, multidisciplinary book, 48 experts argue for biologically based treatment goals and treatment planning for the clinical management of occlusion. The examination of the subject spans the biological, biomechanical and physiological basis of occlusion to clinical decision-making and problem-solving from various clinical standpoints. With the fundamental role the occlusion plays in all aspects of dentistry, this comprehensive book will be a welcome source of applied science for all practicing dentists.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  One bite ahead in Occlusion!, March 01, 2000
By Guilherme Vieira (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
It's a happy surprise to find out that in an extremely controversial issue, there is an author that doesn't want to be the "master of the truth". The greatest virtue of Mcneill's book is that most of the chapters have the massive contribution of a varied number of well known professionals in the subject they know best. It's not only about occlusion and tmd's but it goes from biologic principles and interactive mechanics of the estomatognatic system to the ultimate clinical therapies in an argumentative and scientific speech. Definitely a "must read" for Oral Rehabilitation practitioners.
