[Use of temporary crowns for corrections of malocclusions during the deciduous dentition in children with cleft lips and palates].

Diagnosis and correction of the a priori not normal development of the dentition in cleft palate children is of utmost importance in the primary dentition. Secondary preventive dental care using uncomplicated procedures is one of the most rewarding responsibilities in cleft orthopedics. Aesthetics in dentistry is stressed and cleft palate children should not be excluded out of consideration for their parents. A technical modification of the inclined plane using only tooth coloured materials for the treatment of sagittal and transverse anomalies of the primary dentition is presented. Case reports include a patient with a genetic disposition for anomalies in the ipsilateral maxillary quadrant.

Child, Preschool

[The treatment of children with cheilognathopalatoschisis--a contribution to psychosocial rehabilitation].

The long-term treatment of cleft palate patients starts immediately after birth and is pursued in orderly fashion [correction of persecuted orderly] to adolescence. The results of anonymous survey of the opinion of parents of cleft palate children who undergo or underwent early treatment procedures, up to seven years of age, are presented. Questions concerned mother's or parent's experience of birth, first medical information, early orthopedic care and treatment, and psychosocial adjustment of the children as well. This study suggests that objective findings in children and subjective conditions of parents do not correlate in the beginning, as is to be seen in cleft palate versus cleft lip palate group. One other conclusion indicates the existence of a small quantity of parents able to accept their affected child without additional problems arising from the cleft.

Adult

[Oral stereotypes in school children].

When children are asked about school, most say they look forward to it. Not a few children, however, experience feelings of insecurity about school, and in particular starting school. Some are even afraid, and in some cases the child is unable to cope with its fears alone. An orthodontist must reckon with continual or periodical school problems when planning therapy. These difficulties are an essential element of the child's psycho-social world, although by no means the sole element. The relationship between oral stereotypes in school-age children and the necessity of parent counseling or psychological/psychiatric aid for the child is investigated on the basis of clinical reports.

Child

[Oral habits in small children].

The correction of oral stereotypes when children still have their milk teeth is known to be a rewarding measure in the prophylaxis of dental anomalies. Based on clinical examples, questions concerning the methodology and necessity of mechanical intervention are discussed along with favourable times for such action. The casuistic discussion supports the following conclusions: 1. Oral stereotypes that remain persistent beyond the third year do not necessarily lead to dentition deformities. 2. The favourable moment to offer small children aid in getting rid of their habit is not necessarily a matter of chronological or dental age, but depends rather more on the phase of personality development the child is going through at the time.

Behavior Therapy

[Syndrome patients within the framework of the early orthodontic treatment of infants with cheilognathopalatoschisis].

The orthodontist's early orthopaedic treatment of the newborn focuses on cleft palate infants and children with Down's syndrome. In more than 100 malformation syndromes, orofacial clefting occurs. The problem of syndrome diagnosis is discussed by way of clinical examples (Robin syndrome, Stickler syndrome). A case of orofacial digital syndrome serves to demonstrate the orthodontists contribution to syndromic diagnosis in early cleft rehabilitation.

Cleft Lip

[Do growth-promoting hormones have an effect on dentition development in dwarfism?].

In children with nanism we differentiate between hypophyseal ateleiosis, constitutional retarded development with slow bone maturation and familiar ateleiosis. The somatotrope hormone is responsible for growth. With this hormone we can stimulate the growing process in hypophyseal ateleiosis and in constitutional retarded development. Human growth hormone accelerate growth and bone maturation in the same way, also anabolics stimulate growth, especially bone maturation. They also accelerate the development of the dentition, as shown by the example quoted. The best time for orthodontic treatment is during intensive growth periods the specific skeletal age taking into account.

Age Determination by Skeleton

[The Tübingen implant within the scope of adult orthodontic treatment].

Prior to the replacement of a missing tooth with an implant the adult dentition, orthodontic treatment can be carried out to widen the space mesio-distally, correct the axial inclination of the neighbouring teeth and safeguard the anterior overbite. Implantation is not possible if, as a result of orthodontic treatment the gap cannot be widened to a minimum of at least 6 mm, if the alveolar bone is not thick enough in the vertical dimension or if the implant does not have sufficient space in the oro-vestibular direction.

Adolescent

[Secondary prevention of mesial bite in infants with maxillary clefts by correcting early deciduous prenormal incisors].

A new application of the inclined plane principle for the management of mesial bite in a child aged 14 months is reported. It was of interest to note that, inspite of the presence of Robin's sequence associated with cleft palate and postnormal mandible and inspite of posteriorly directed stresses on the mandible generated by sucking, the deciduous incisors were prenormal at the very time of their eruption. In light of the growth arresting effect of palatal clefts the authors emphasize the importance of regular orthodontic care in cleft patients beyond early orthodontic treatment throughout dental development in order to prevent the occurrence of developmental anomalies.
