Clinical implication of Roux's concept in orofacial orthopedics
1Institute for Dentofacial Orthopedics, Heinrich-Braun-Hospital, Zwickau, Germany.
Abstract:
Long-term follow-up studies have revealed that the shields of the function regulator are capable of influencing the circumoral soft tissue capsule in size and shape. As a result, the disturbed or restricted displacement of teeth and jaw bones could be corrected. The dramatic changes in dentoskeletal development thus achieved demonstrate the morphogenetic impact of the circumoral capsule. In clinical application, the function regulator offers the opportunity to realize Roux's concept of functional orthopedics in the treatment of orofacial dysmorphology, as has long been practiced in the medical field of orthopedics.

Additional Routes of Drug Administration
Administering drugs via inhalation allows for the direct delivery of gaseous, volatile substances or droplets to different parts of the respiratory tract. One of the advantages of the inhalation route is the rapid absorption of drugs into the circulatory system, which is possible because of the large surface area of...
Routes of Drug Administration: Enteral
Enteral administration involves drug administration via the mouth in two ways: orally or sublingually.
Unlike sublingually drugs, drugs that are taken orally pass through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and get metabolized by the liver. Once metabolized, the drug is absorbed into the systemic circulation, reaching different body parts via the bloodstream. However, while passing through the stomach,...
Routes of Drug Administration: Overview
Enteral administration refers to drugs absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. They can be swallowed (perorally), placed under the tongue (sublingually), or on the inner lining of the cheeks (buccally). Perorally administered drugs take time to be absorbed and have a slower onset of action. The rectal route is another form of enteral administration, which allows for...
Drug Delivery: Overview
Enteral delivery involves administering drugs directly through swallowing, sublingual placement, or buccal application. Orally administered drugs predominantly navigate the gastrointestinal...
