Concepts in Oral Medicine - tractatio, concipio, documentatio Volume I, II, III

What is it about?

Professor Rudolf Slavicek, called his new book on the masticatory organ "Concepts in Oral Medicine" as it is the logical continuation and actualization of the book ”The Masticatory Organ” (published in 2000).The text book is divided into 3 volumes named "TRACTATIO", "CONCIPIO", and "DOCUMENTATIO”.The first volume, "TRACTATIO", is divided into 28 chapters. The author seeks to explain the meaning of the term "feedback control system" for medicine, starting with the hypothesis of the hominization evolution of the masticatory organ. Starting from the hypothesis of the dental crown morphology that functionally adapts to the neuromuscular system along the occlusion maturation in ontogenesis, it analyzes the human masticatory organ.Moreover, the author assigns a special place to the analysis of lateral cephalometrics, the concept of dynamic lateral and frontal radiographic analysis, as well as the third dimension in cephalometry - CBCT and 3D landmarks as a necessary support in the treatment of the dysfunctional masticatory organ.Professor Slavicek also presents clinical and instrumental functional analysis I, and clinical functional analysis II with the help of instruments (condylography).
