Color Atlas of Dental Medicine: TMJ Disorders and Orofacial Pain - The Role of Dentistry in a Multidisciplinary Diagnostic Approach

The treatment of temporomandibular (TMJ) disorders requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving the participation of dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, radiologists, and others. This lavishly illustrated text/atlas provides a wealth of vital information for specialists who need to enhance their understanding of TMJ disorders. TMJ Disorders and Orofacial Pain is the essential diagnostic guide all dentists and related specialists need to optimize the care and treatment of patients with this condition. Tying together the anatomic, physiologic, and psychological aspects of the TMJ, it helps you confidently reach an accurate diagnosis. MRI has proven to be the most reliable imaging modality for the diagnosis of TMJ disorders. A key feature of this text is teaching dentists how to interpret MRIs, and also to provide the necessary knowledge for informed communication with radiologists. Throughout the text, you will find exquisitely detailed, full-color photographs which take you step-by-step through the clinical examination of the jaw. You'll learn how to analyze information as it comes in and select the proper course of treatment based on the patient's history and clinical data.
