Onemocnění temporomandibulárního kloubu - diagnostika a léčba – Machoň Vladimír (2024)

The book addresses the issue of temporomandibular joint diseases in an interdisciplinary context, including their diagnosis and treatment. A significant benefit is the maximum clarity and comprehensibility of the text, exceptionally rich photographic documentation, and educational case studies. The reader will become familiar with the basics of anatomy and gnathology, the possibilities and procedures for examining patients, as well as individual diseases of the temporomandibular joint and their etiology. An overview of temporomandibular joint diseases in children is also included. The next section of the book discusses treatment options, not only conservative therapy but also the basics of physiotherapy, surgical, and reconstructive treatment. The fundamentals of traumatology are also covered. Separate chapters are dedicated to the differential diagnosis of facial pain and skin tumor lesions in the preauricular area. The book is intended not only for dentists, orthodontists, and maxillofacial surgeons but also for other fields that encounter temporomandibular joint diseases: ENT specialists, physiotherapists, neurologists, and rheumatologists. Last but not least, it is aimed at medical students.
