More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
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. Different sides of many philosophies are presented while guiding the reader to the most functional and aesthetic solution to various occlusal situations. Hundreds of full-colour photographs, illustrations, and diagrams show aspects of the masticatory system, the epidemiology of occlusal problems, and procedures for finding the ideal occlusion. Whether the reader is a general dentist or a specialist, they will find this book applicable to their treatment methods and philosophies.

Format:Hardcover
Very good book that would be of benefit to most dentists in practice, no matter how simple or complex your practice this book will clarify your knowledge and thoughts on this very difficult and complex subject.
It is slightly narrow in it's point of view and condsending toward other theorys. If you take a pragmatic approach it is a good book.

Almost like being at the Dawson Academy
30 Aug 2008
Format:Hardcover
I've attended over 130 hours of continuing education classes at the Dawson Academy. And, essentially, this book is the teachings of the core concepts of the Dawson philosophy. If you can't afford to spend tens of thousands of dollars like I did attending his center, then this book comes as a close second. The golden nugget of the dawson philosophy is that form follows function. The book is well illustrated with copious amounts of color photos, diagrams and illustrations. I understand that Dr. Dawson did some of the illustrations himself which are fair. I guess I can be a little picky since I have a Master's degree in medical illustration as well as in dentistry. I refer to this book consistently to refresh my memory from the courses I've taken and I also pick up something new each time I read it. The only chapters that I don't pay much attention to are the ones that refer to Dr. Piper's system of classification on TMJ derangements. I tend to refer instead to Dr. Okeson's text book on TMD disorders which is a simpler system for the general dentist. I feel I would have to attend a few of Dr. Piper's course before I felt comfortable using his system. In a nutshell, this is probably Dr. Dawson's final gift to the dental community as he enters his twilight years. He is one of the living legends that I have the greatest respect for. His philosophy ties in well with other master dentists such as Dr. Frank Spear, Dr. John Kois, and Dr. Terry Tanaka.

Great manual
25 Aug 2008
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
For the first time I could find a comprehensive textbook on ocllusion and TMJ position, and applying these in practice. Lots of pictures and clinical hints. It's clinically oriented so General dentists should have it as an asset in their libraries.

IT'S A MUST-HAVE! TRUST ME!
6 Nov 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Well, I have to say that this book has changed my whole practice since I bought it. I'll tell you what: we better have a philosophy to follow in order to treat our patients into a comprehensive approach. We better understand what's behind patient's dental problems in order to fix them and most important, to prevent them from recurring. Dr. Dawson has decades of experience and you're gonna see the results on a daily basis. I can't see a better approach out there for the dentists to treat their patients in a very predictable manner. It doesn't matter if you're a Specialist or a General Dentist. No more guessing on what you're doing! It's a must-have. Trust me.
