Temporomandibular Disorders: An Evidenced-Based Approach to Diagnosis And Treatment
This multidisciplinary textbook presents a unique approach to diagnosis and management of the various temporomandibular disorders. Written by a large group of eminent researchers and clinicians, it links current scientific concepts of basic anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and pathology of the temporomandibular joint with specific diagnostic and treatment protocols that are based on sound clinical data. Thus, in keeping with the current thrust in medicine and dentistry, the book provides access to the best available evidence so that clinicians can make informed rather than empirical decisions about what is appropriate therapy. Where lack of data or rapid changes in a particular discipline do not allow for evidence-based conclusions or recommendations, the book highlights the areas of agreement and disagreement in order to expose the deficiencies in our present knowledge base. In a field of treatment long associated with controversy, this book educates readers about which current practices of diagnosis and treatment are strongly supported by scientific research and which are supported only by practical experience and/or anecdotal evidence..

Thomistic Renaissance: The Natural Moral Law: The Reawakening Of Scholasticism In Catholic Teaching As Evidenced By Pope John Paul Ii In Veritatis Splendor
This dissertation seeks to establish that there is a renaissance of Thomistic Philosophy in the Catholic Church since the aftermath of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), specifically a reawakening of Scholasticism, as evidenced by Pope John Paul II in his encyclical Veritatis Splendor. An abridged survey of the concept of the Natural Moral Law from Aristotle, Cicero, Marcus Aurelius, and Augustine is followed by an examination of the impact of Thomas Aquinas on this philosophical method of ethics and morality. Next, the revival of Thomism and its permeation throughout Veritatis Splendor is discussed along with pertinent texts of the encyclical followed by the comments of contemporary adherents shortly following its promulgation. While the Natural Moral Law predates Scholasticism by centuries, the impact and influence the former had on the latter is shown in John Paul's refined reintegration of this perennially valid philosophy..
