Functional Occlusion: From TMJ to Smile Design

By: Peter Dawson, DDS

This book uses an interdisciplinary approach to explain the origin of and possible solutions to many different occlusal problems. Dr. Peter E. Dawson guides the reader along the way providing balanced explanations of theory and technique. He also debunks many popular misconceptions through practical discussion of their origins and the deficiencies of the arguments behind them.

Ortognatodonzia Sistemica

By: Dr. Guiseppe Stefanelli

The book proposes an interpretative model and a diagnostic protocol and therapeutic concepts to functional dysgnathia second "systemic."  It starts with a description of architecture and craniofacial growth in the key read by the dynamic mechanism whose functioning depends substantially on the establishment of proper occlusion and functional occlusal plane in Class I.  An entire chapter is intended to try to determine the relationship between orthodontics and temporomandibular disorders (TMD), the importance of the study of posture in order to clarify the multifactorial determinism and the need for the orthodontist to have references gnathology diagnosis.
