Bioblock therapy.
An orthopedic treatment philosophy has been presented. Attention is drawn to the fact that the facial bones of both experimental animals and human beings respond extensively to physiologic and pathologic forces, and it is suggested that these could be mimicked to advantage. A system of appliances designed to achieve this is described. Some case reports which appear to show induced skeletal change are presented, but it will be some time before the real contribution of bioblock therapy can be assessed scientifically. Meanwhile, we should perhaps look more closely at our patients' faces and consider treating them at an earlier age.
