Summary
This book provides a working guide for the practising dentist on an important but often confusing subject. Exploring the role of occlusion in dental practice, the authors build evidence from practice-based research to describe a philosophy based on contemporary good practice. Each chapter starts with clearly stated aims and concludes with a list of unique 'Guidelines of good clinical practice'.
Overall, this step-by-step approach to occlusion gives clinical dentists a practical, logical and convenient guide of great value. It dispels some of the myths about the subject and facilitates better patient care. back to the top
