Dr. Dawson's text sets the standard for predictably understanding cause
and effect relationship. Predictable, excellent dentistry requires a
"global" view of cause and effect. For years, dentists have been taught to
diagnose and treat symptoms. The majority of our teaching has been without
respect to the temporomandibular joints. The TMJ's form a critical "pivotal"
point for understanding occlusion, form and function. Dr. Dawson's work
allows the reader to clearly understand WHY certain things occur. An
understanding of the "why" allows the reader to move beyond simple
repairative restorative dentistry --- to the point of being able to offer
excellent, optimal long term stable dental care. Our patients are the final
benefactors. Be prepared to read and reread, as this text does not flow like
a best-selling novel. Instead, work one chapter at a time, as you uncover
the mystery of form and function. Dr. Tom Orent 1000 Gems Seminars orent@headachepain.com
