Opis

This book includes detailed information about the correlation between malocclusion and malformations. All bones develop within a functional milieu that is composed of environmental conditions, including muscle strength, bone length, and craniofacial dimensions among others. Some of these may be genetic. Soft tissue influences such as lip incompetence and tongue protrusion on upper incisor proclination and lower lip closure on lower incisor retroclination, may thus have significant influences on the occlusion. The scientific community acknowledges that there is strong interrelationship between malocclusion and assosiated malformation of orofacial structures taking into consideration that abnormal habits and oral breathing have a role in the aetiopathogenesis of malocclusions, and their association is confirmed. Orofacial developmental malformations can be considered as risk factors of malocclusion because they change the physiological balance of growth. we can assume that the "risk of developing malocclusion" related to malformation and abnormal habit would be expressed in individuals more susceptible to genetic causes and unfavourable growth pattern.
