This evidence-based book, featuring contributions from world-renowned experts, discusses in detail the functional anatomy of the temporomandibular joint as well as the aetiology, diagnosis, treatment and medicolegal implications of patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD).Despite advances in our understanding of the aetiology of TMD and in developing current treatment rationales, a number of issues remain controversial. These include the extent to which the temporomandibular joint should be a central focus of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment, as well as the role that occlusion and malocclusion play in precipitating TMD symptoms. Indeed, few subjects in dentistry and the specialty of orthodontics are open to as many interpretations or misinterpretations as TMD. This textbook provides clinical orthodontists with essential information and guidance that will assist them in understanding and effectively managing this complex multilayered problem. Throughout, clear clinical guidelines are presented on the basis of current scientific and clinical evidence. TMD and Orthodontics will be a highly valuable chairside resource for orthodontists everywhere.

This book would be great value for benefit to those interested in matters of the current FACIALPAIN subject's listservers, and has followed the listserve postings for several years and felt that there would be great value to those interested in matters orofacial to have an organized and searchable collection of the communications arranged by topic or subject. As you go through this book, you will appreciate the tremendous effort tirelessly to bring all of the posting to the FACIALPAIN listserve into a book format, that he has been put forth for our benefit, this book represents posting on a variety of subjects and contains much controversy that we in OFP are still struggling with.
