$85.00  166 pages, 327 illustrations

This book develops the occlusal concepts of B.B. McCollum. Nearly 300 clinical photographs demonstrate how tooth preparation must lead to harmonious integration of all the parts of the masticatory system. Step one: mesial and distal boxings and extension of developmental grooves. Step two: reduction of tooth structure. Step three: ensuring adequate retention with shoulders, steps, parallelism of preparation walls, grooves, and pins. Step four: replacing the circumferential sleeve.

Oral Rehabilitation: Clinical Determination of Occlusion
by Sumiya Hobo and Hisao Takayama

$55.00 (Prices may vary) 168 pages Hardcover
Out of Print. Click the Amazon "buy" link to buy used copies of this text.

Book Description:
The authors of this oral rehabilitation text advocate the controversial Twin-Stage Procedure which they discovered, explaining that it provides the means to control the amount of dissocclusion that average doctors using previous procedures have been unable to control. The results of the Twin-Stage Procedure produce precise dissoclusion without the measurement of condylar path, and follow gnathological principles of scientifically-supported patient treatment. Topics include the articulator, the Twin-Stage Procedure, clinical evaluation test, full mouth reconstruction, fixed restorations and occlusal adjustment, and occlusion for osseointegrated implants. Contains mathematical formulae for analyzing mandibular movement. -- Copyright © 1999 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR All rights reserved

Editorial Reviews
Biofeedback, Newsmagazine of the Association for Applied Psychophysology and Biofeedback, 1993
".... The lay reader, however, will appreciate the straightforward explanations, recommendations, and vignettes of fellow sufferers such as Bert Reynolds. If I was a patient, exhausted by replicated studies and puzzled looks from the medical community, I would feel deep gratitude for Dr. Taddey's attempt to diminish my confusion and empower me with useful information."

Recommended by Dr. Gordon Christensen for patient education. (See "more information" page)
