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 esthetic solution to various occlusal situations. Hundreds of full-color 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.

This book has all of the latest in TMJ and full mouth reconstructive cases. It’s a little pricey but so far it has been worth it…

Pete has really tied these two topics together nicely, transforming a dry and boring topic into a sexy, stimulating meal for your grey matter.
Illustrations are fair, content superb, priced well, but with a terrible cover…..
EDUCATE YOURSELF AND STIMULATE YOUR MATES

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.

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.

I bought this book as a gift to my son who is a dentist. I cannot give it a fair evaluation. Thanks anyway. I do know he likes it!

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.

Dr. J. Sullivan (verified owner) –
Great book, wish I had read it years ago! I wish there more illustrations, there are some but for us visual learners there can never be too many. There are lots of descriptions in words where diagrams would be a great supplement. Great on the iPad!

Excellent resource for ALL practicing dentists, students and dental educators. Packed with authoritative descriptions, tables and illustrations.
James Martin (verified owner) –
The definitive book on occlusion. Be prepared to never view dentistry in the same light ever again. I would compare before and after reading this book to the analogy of fumbling in the dark before someone turns the lights on.

The book was in great condition. It seemed almost brand-new. The supplier shipped the book in a timely manner.

This was for my 3rd year Dental Student Son who specifically asked for this text book. It would’ve been a bit more more affordable is purchased used but not by much. Perfectly packaged and worth the extra $20.00

This is the most médical book i have read on Occlusion ! I heard about the ” DAWSON ” concept but what i read in this book surpasses all my expectations !
Since i restarted my studies and gotten two University Diplomas ( Implantology and Periodontology ) i must have gone through more than 25 000 pages !
I have never read such medically oriented book on the subject !
It makes other things i’ve read look like kindergarden comic books !
The results are there in the first day of applying the concept !
