Any good books on occlusion?

[psiyung]

We are currently studying basic occlusion in dental anatomy right now, and unfortunately, the notes we have for it are garbage. Are there any solid books that describe dental occlusion fairly well that anyone knows of?

Thanks

The Peter Dawson book is considered the bible but it may be a little rough for a 1st year dental student.

Check out Okeson. That's what Dr. Sylvestri recommends us to use at Tufts.

I second that okeson book, great book. Written so you can understand it and its not all that boring.

Though I worked out a lot of occlusion ideas on my own, I agree that Okeson is a great book.........by the way you might want to read my tutorial about DAO in the International DDS section....so to the thread titled Tutorials........

let me know what you think about it.
