In order to elevate the teaching of occlusion as an essential need in every dental curriculum, the American College of Prosthodontists is proud to announce Fundamentals of Occlusion, a revolutionary new textbook for tablets and computers.
This multi-touch book establishes a fundamental knowledge and reference base for students of dental occlusion. With nearly two hours of video and 3D animations, dozens of image galleries and presentations, and review quizzes at the end of every chapter, this is a uniquely interactive learning experience.
The ten chapters include occlusal terminology, anatomy and physiology, occlusal instruments, equilibration methodology, temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and associated neuromusculature, and diagnosis and treatment plans.
The goal of this text is to develop concepts of occlusion based upon the best available science, combined with a consensus of the best clinical practices by leading prosthodontic educators and practitioners -- and enable students of occlusion to begin their journey of discovery with a sound foundation.
Fundamentals of Occlusion was supported by an unrestricted educational grant from the Whip Mix Corporation.

For the Amazon.com version, note that the movies and interactives are available only on Kindle Fire tablets (third generation onwards); Kindle Reading Apps will have access to the full text, photos, and quizzes, but not video content.
