IT'S A MUST-HAVE! TRUST ME!
Well, I have to say that this book has changed my whole practice since I bought it. I'll tell you what: we better have a philosophy to follow in order to treat our patients into a comprehensive approach. We better understand what's behind patient's dental problems in order to fix them and most important, to prevent them from recurring. Dr. Dawson has decades of experience and you're gonna see the results on a daily basis. I can't see a better approach out there for the dentists to treat their patients in a very predictable manner. It doesn't matter if you're a Specialist or a General Dentist. No more guessing on what you're doing! It's a must-have. Trust me.

So grateful for kindle version!
Great book, wish I had read it years ago! I wish there more illustrations, there are some but for us visual learners there can never be too many. There are lots of descriptions in words where diagrams would be a great supplement. Great on the iPad!

Printed incorrectly
I have yet to read this book so my review only focuses on the physical nature of the book. The text was printed upside down and backwards so that if I were to read the book it appears I am holding the wrong side of the book. Still readable... just looks funny and wasn't expecting any issues as I splurged and purchased a brand new copy rather than used.

Amazing
The definitive book on occlusion. Be prepared to never view dentistry in the same light ever again. I would compare before and after reading this book to the analogy of fumbling in the dark before someone turns the lights on.

Médical Dentistry for those who want to be Médical Dentists
This is the most médical book i have read on Occlusion ! I heard about the " DAWSON " concept but what i read in this book surpasses all my expectations ! Since i restarted my studies and gotten two University Diplomas ( Implantology and Periodontology ) i must have gone through more than 25 000 pages ! I have never read such medically oriented book on the subject ! It makes other things i've read look like kindergarden comic books ! The results are there in the first day of applying the concept !
