[Growth of the jaws and anisochronia of bone growth].

Teleradiographic recordings were employed to compare growth of maxillary skeleton and changes in dental systems. Facial growth occurs at a constant rate during the period when growth in stature is firstly slowed, and then accelerates with the approach of puberty. Growth rates of different parts of the skeleton are not parallel and the face is not involved in the prepubertal acceleration in statural growth. In contrast, puberty affects the adaptation of the dental system to its maxillary insertion bases by its action on buccal musculature.

[Reflexions on labial topography].

The musculature of the lips contributes to oro-facial muscular equilibrium. Labial topography at rest is extremely variable, as there may be gaping of the lips with a short upper lip and associated protrusion of the upper alveolar process, as well as on the contrary an upwardly displaced stoma leading to incarceration of the upper dental arch by the lower lip and retrocession of the laveolar process (stoma syndrome). Anomalies at rest justify surgical treatment.

[Is it possible to make a diagnosis on only the morphological appearance in a child? Importance of complementary examinations in dentofacial orthopedics].

Orthodontic diagnosis cannot be made from the morphological appearance of the patient alone. The skeleton cannot be seen except by radiography. And the positioning of the dental system within the cranio-facial mass depends on the caprice of the musculature which may even simulate displacement of mandible in connection to maxillae. It is to illustrate this fact that we have selected from the Orthodontic Dept. of the Institute of Stomatology the cases of 3 children presenting with an abnormality in incisal contact, characterized by vestibular occlusion of the lower incisors clinically reminiscent of mandibular prognathism. In all of them we found evidence of abnormalities in neuro-muscular behaviour, at rest and in action, whilst teleradiography showed only one case with sagittal displacement of the maxillae, with a Coutand guide mark 9 mm below the bissector.
