Description
Orthodontic treatment of cranio-maxillo-mandibular dysmorphia is based on an accurate diagnosis of the intra-arch anomalies (agenesis, supernumerary teeth, impacted teeth, dental discrepancies...), the inter-arch gaps observed (sagittal, vertical and/or transverse) and the associated dysfunctions. For each anomaly, gap and/or dysfunction, a therapeutic flow-chart enables a treatment strategy to be established based on the age of the patient and the severity of the symptoms. The superposition of these flow-charts allows the treatment to be refined as much as possible and enables a prognostic to be established. It is therefore important to understand all of the problems in order to take action at the best time.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify a complete dento facial diagnosis.
- Determine a treament strategy.
- Manage various therapeutic flow-charts.
