This second edition of the book entitled“ Applied Occlusion” is an essential contribution highlighting how important it is for dentists and students to understand the function of the teeth. Dental occlusion is felt throughout the entire postural system and therefore any dental treatment should be done in the occlusal balance. This book is divided into eight chapters. The first two chapters present normal occlusion in static and dynamic. The following two chapters focus on the effects of deflective contacts, interferences and parafunction and demystify the reorganization of the occlusion. Chapters 5, 6 and 7 tackle considerations relating to the periodontium, implant restorations and temporomandibular disorders. The final chapter contains details about occlusal examination, intercuspal registration, articulator selection, diagnostic waxing, copying anterior guidance, occlusal splints and occlusal adjustment. The clinical videos accompanying the book narrate the process of investigating and managing occlusal problems. This book is useful for dental students, clinical dental students and dental practitioners to understand the function of the teeth, and find much better solutions for occlusal disorders.

According to Dr. Welden E. Bell“ pain is far more than a simple sensation; pain is an experience”. Because pain is a major health care problem, research knowledge is expending exponentially. This revised edition incorporates the latest findings from neurophysiology studies and the central processing of pain, so the result is a new guide of diagnostics, classification, and treatment. This textbook is divided into three major parts. Part One, namely“ The Nature of Pain” has six chapters and presents the neural anatomy and physiology of the trigeminal system. Part Two, entitled“ Clinical Considerations of Oral and Facial Pain” includes four chapters and presents the classifications of oral and facial pain and the diagnosis principles and therapeutic modalities. The nine chapters of Part Three, whose title is“ Clinical Pain Syndromes” talk about cutaneous and mucogingival pain, dental pains, muscle pains, TMJ pains, musculoskeletal and visceral pain, vascular, neurovascular and neuropathic pains. Because the dental practitioners ' interest in oral and facial pain disorders has increased, this textbook is very useful and provides the readers with information that will assist in resolving patients suffering from orofacial pain. This textbook is very well illustrated( 260 illustrations) and for better understanding it is supplemented with case reports and full-color photographs and illustrations. Bell ' s“ Oral and Facial Pain” is addressed to the dental practitioners and the gnathologists interested in oral and facial pain disorders, the aim being to alleviate the suffering of TMD ' s patients.
The Books Review is drafted in the reviewer’ s sole wording and illustrates his opinions.
