The book “Craniomandibular and Musculoskeletal
System: Functional Concepts in Dentistry,
Orthodontics and Manual Medicine” by Wolfgang
Boisserée and Werner Schupp presents a focussed
and practical approach on functional diagnostics
and therapy that takes into account the complex
interactions between the craniomandibular and
musculoskeletal system. The craniomandibular
dysfunction causes can be found in
different medical fields, internal medicine,
orthopedics, neurology, otorhinolaryngology,
psychology, thus requring a multi- and interdisciplinary approach of the patients with
craniomandibular disorders. They bring
together medical specialties and dental
disciplines, orthodontics, restorative dentistry
and prosthetics to make a correct diagnosis
and initiate an effective treatment.
The book is divided into four parts: The
craniomandibular system (CMS) and its
relationships with the musculoskeletal system
(MSS), Dysfunction of the craniomandibular
system (CMS), the diagnostic concept, and
