Authors: Gary Demerjian, André Barkhordarian, Francesco Chiappelli

Lately, practitioners have increasingly come across different forms of disorders of the temporomandibular joint. The book entitled “Temporomandibular Joint and Airway Disorders” addresses the temporomandibular joint and airway disorders from a translational perspective.
The book contains 12 chapters and an index, and is divided into two parts.
Part I, Translational Research, presents detailed data on the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the trigeminal network system. And then we become acquainted with neuroimmune and systemic manifestations of neuroinflammation and molecular mechanism of temporomandibular joint disorders.
Part II, Translational Effectiveness, presents the head and neck manifestations, trigeminal nerve inflammation and the possibilities of biomechanical dental treatments. After deciphering the relationship between TMJ, orofacial pain and sleep apnea, the immunologic and physiologic effects of the various dental sleep appliance therapy are discussed.
The correlation of facial balance, TMD and airway for all ages from orthodontic / orthopedic perspective is presented and convincingly illustrated via a series of cases from orthodontic / orthopedic perspective. Information on the anatomical structures and the local pathology at the level of the temporomandibular articulation within the disorders at this level are exemplified with the help of the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Research centered on the patient-related outcomes is conducted from the perspective of evidence-based medical and dental practice for patients with temporomandibular joint disorders. Finally, future avenues of translational care for patients with temporomandibular disorders are mentioned.
The book is a compelling plea for a better understanding of temporomandibular joint and airway disorders; it is a compelling guide for practitioners, residents, interns and students who want to deepen their knowledge in this area of dental practice..

GREEN OPEN ACCESS

The Stomatology Edu Journal (Stoma Edu J) is one of the first Green Open Access journals in the field of dental medicine, publishing well-established authors, but equally committed to encouraging early career researchers and professionals alike to publish their work after a non-partisan, objective, double-blind rigorous peer-reviewed process. A Green Open Access (GOA) journal means that all content is freely available to the user or his/her institution without charge. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles in this journal without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author.

STATEMENT

STOMATOLOGY EDU JOURNAL (Stoma Edu J) is a new international dental journal whose main purpose is to inform researchers, educators, graduates, postgraduates and practitioners about the latest trends in the field, which followed, would bring immediate and lasting benefits to the patients; and about opinions of the most authorized specialists on what is best in current practice, for the good of both, patient and dentist.
STOMATOLOGY EDU JOURNAL (Stoma Edu J) is a peer-reviewed, open access international dental journal to be database indexed, meant to contribute to the development and completion of the medical training of practitioners as Dr. Greene Vardiman Black stated: “the professional man has no right to be other than a continual student”.
Open access journal, means that all content is freely available without charge to the user or his/her institution.
