Craniocervical system is an integral component of the upper body, basically composed of the head, neck and shoulder girdle. From anatomic and functional aspects, the stomatognathic system and the upper cervical spine are closely interlinked. Together with complex neuromuscular relationships, this gives rise to an important field of cooperation between orthodontics and orthopedics. Any dysfunction, occlusal disorder, postural abnormality or trauma of the upper quarter could likely lead to a problem at adjacent or related components. For that reason, an evaluation of the cervical spine must be carried out. The literature appeals for close interdisciplinary cooperation for patients with syndromes and for those with lordosis, kyphosis and scoliosis. The first step should be aimed at developing closer cooperation in problem-oriented investigations by both disciplines. In patients with underlying orthopedic pathologies such as scoliosis, lordosis and kyphosis, early orthodontic correction of the crossbite observed in most cases should be seen as mandatory. This early intervention with orthodontic appliances seeks to alleviate the orthopedically induced facial asymmetry.

Prolonged orthodontic treatment increases the risk of dental issues like cavities, periodontal problems, discomfort, and root resorption. Accelerated orthodontics addresses these challenges by expediting orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) through surgical and non-invasive methods. Surgical techniques like corticotomy and piezoelectric bone punctures stimulate OTM by inducing controlled bone injury, triggering the Regional Acceleratory Phenomenon (RAP), which accelerates osteoclastogenesis and tooth movement. However, these invasive methods can result in pain, bleeding, and reduced patient compliance. Minimally invasive alternatives, such as piezosurgery, fiberotomy, and micro-osteoperforations (MOPs), offer similar benefits with fewer complications. Non-invasive techniques, including lasers and vibrations, have shown effectiveness in enhancing bone remodeling. Low-Level Energy Laser Therapy (LLLT) is widely used in orthodontics for its biostimulatory effects, accelerating OTM, aiding in retention, and providing pain relief. While MOPs and LLLT are effective individually, their combined impact on accelerating OTM is less explored.

A nutri o um fator importante, influenciando a sa de geral e a toler ncia dos tecidos dos pacientes ortod nticos em muitos n veis. Embora os ortodontistas raramente vejam manifesta es francas de defici ncias nutricionais, deve-se reconhecer que n veis abaixo do ideal de certos nutrientes s o comuns e t m um efeito sobre as respostas biol gicas dos tecidos influenciados pelo tratamento ortod ntico. Para otimizar a resposta fisiol gica do paciente ao tratamento ortod ntico, pode ser ben fico fornecer orienta o diet tica aos pacientes ortod nticos na escolha de dietas de alimentos moles. Isso inclui a obten o da hist ria nutricional, a avalia o da dieta, a educa o do paciente sobre os componentes da dieta importantes para a sa de bucal, a motiva o do paciente para melhorar a dieta e o acompanhamento para apoiar o esfor o do paciente para mudar os comportamentos alimentares. este livro d uma vis o completa da import ncia da dieta e da nutri o no campo da ortodontia.

La nutrition est un facteur important, qui influence la sant g n rale et la tol rance des tissus des patients orthodontiques de nombreux niveaux. Bien que les orthodontistes voient rarement des manifestations franches de d ficiences nutritionnelles, il faut reconna tre que des niveaux sous-optimaux de certains nutriments sont courants et ont un effet sur les r ponses biologiques des tissus influenc s par le traitement orthodontique. Afin d'optimiser la r ponse physiologique du patient au traitement orthodontique, il peut tre b n fique de fournir des conseils di t tiques aux patients orthodontiques dans le choix d'un r gime alimentaire doux. Cela comprend l'obtention des ant c dents nutritionnels, l' valuation du r gime alimentaire, l' ducation du patient sur les l ments du r gime alimentaire importants pour la sant bucco-dentaire, la motivation du patient am liorer son r gime alimentaire et le suivi pour soutenir les efforts du patient changer ses comportements alimentaires. Ce livre donne un aper u complet de l'importance du r gime alimentaire et de la nutrition dans le domaine de l'orthodontie.

Die Ern hrung ist ein wichtiger Faktor, der den allgemeinen Gesundheitszustand und die Gewebevertr glichkeit von Kieferorthop diepatienten auf vielen Ebenen beeinflusst. Obwohl Kieferorthop den nur selten offene Manifestationen von Ern hrungsm ngeln sehen, sollte man sich dar ber im Klaren sein, dass suboptimale Werte bestimmter N hrstoffe h ufig vorkommen und sich auf die biologischen Reaktionen der Gewebe auswirken, die von der kieferorthop dischen Behandlung betroffen sind. Um die physiologische Reaktion des Patienten auf die kieferorthop dische Behandlung zu optimieren, kann es von Vorteil sein, kieferorthop dische Patienten bei der Auswahl von Schonkost zu beraten. Dazu geh ren die Erhebung der Ern hrungsanamnese, die Bewertung der Ern hrung, die Aufkl rung des Patienten ber die f r die Mundgesundheit wichtigen Ern hrungskomponenten, die Motivation des Patienten zur Verbesserung der Ern hrung und die Nachsorge, um die Bem hungen des Patienten um eine nderung des Ern hrungsverhaltens zu unterst tzen. Dieses Buch gibt einen umfassenden Einblick in die Bedeutung von Ern hrung und Di t in der Kieferorthop die.

L'alimentazione un fattore importante, che influenza la salute generale e la tolleranza tissutale dei pazienti ortodontici a molti livelli. Sebbene l'ortodontista raramente assista a franche manifestazioni di carenze nutrizionali, occorre riconoscere che livelli non ottimali di alcuni nutrienti sono comuni e hanno un effetto sulle risposte biologiche dei tessuti influenzati dal trattamento ortodontico. Per ottimizzare la risposta fisiologica del paziente al trattamento ortodontico, pu essere utile fornire una guida dietetica ai pazienti ortodontici nella scelta di diete a base di alimenti morbidi. Ci include l'acquisizione dell'anamnesi nutrizionale, la valutazione della dieta, l'educazione del paziente sui componenti della dieta importanti per la salute orale, la motivazione del paziente a migliorare la dieta e il follow-up per sostenere lo sforzo del paziente di modificare i comportamenti alimentari.

Cephalometric radiography was introduced into orthodontics in the 1930s, but its broader acceptance for practical application occurred in the last thirty years. Numerous authors have introduced a variety of analyses in recent years. Different landmarks, angles, and orientation planes have been utilized in these analyses. Consequently, measurements vary, encompassing studies on facial growth, the identification of malformations, etiological studies to assess treatment responses, and serving as a complement to status analysis in orthodontics.

A hist ria das restaura es est ticas com cor dos dentes come ou com o cimento de silicato seguido do polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA). Embora ambos os materiais demonstrassem uma est tica inicial decente, tinham propriedades f sicas fracas. Por conseguinte, as resinas compostas foram introduzidas para ultrapassar as defici ncias inerentes aos materiais anteriores. Anteriormente, os comp sitos eram utilizados apenas como material de restaura o anterior, mas atualmente, devido s suas propriedades mec nicas melhoradas, s o utilizados mesmo em reas posteriores. N o s isso, mas a sua versatilidade tamb m levou sua utiliza o noutras reas da medicina dent ria, incluindo a esplintagem e a colagem de brackets ortod nticos. Por conseguinte, este livro apresenta uma revis o dos avan os dos materiais comp sitos que ocorreram ao longo dos anos.
