Spanish version of 4th edition also available, ISBN: 84-8174-371-2 Review REVIEW OF CURRENT EDITION: "With this textbook being in its 5th edition, it is very well-honed and up-to-date with its rich number of scientific references for each chapter (more than 1850 references in total). The author is internationally renowned for his knowledge and expertise in the fields of occlusion and TMD, and this is portrayed throughout the maturity and depth of the present textbook. Complementing the text are very clear and useful black and white graphics and illustrations, many of which are original to the illustrator, Allison Lucas Wright, while others are photographs of actual patient cases from the author as well as from others to whom the author provides credit. Still other illustrations and graphics are reflective of various imaging modalities of the temporomandibular joint and its associated structures." - Journal of Prosthodontics - September 2003 Review Proven techniques to achieve your treatment goals!
