The functional compensation: an interceptive procedure in the mixed dentition.

J Dahan

    American Journal of Orthodontics
    |November 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Functional compensation aids bodily systems despite defects. This study introduces functional interception with a bioactivator "biprax" appliance to guide orofacial growth and development, preventing irreversible effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Orthodontics
    • Craniofacial Biology

    Background:

    • Functional compensation is a natural adaptive mechanism in biological systems.
    • Pathologic compensation can negatively impact orofacial zone development if not addressed early.
    • Current approaches often involve passive observation or early extractions.

    Observation:

    • The orofacial zone is susceptible to deleterious effects from unmanaged compensatory mechanisms.
    • Early intervention can prevent irreversible damage to dental and craniofacial structures.
    • Removable appliances can be used to induce therapeutic compensation.

    Findings:

    • Functional interception, using a bimaxillary appliance called bioactivator "biprax", modifies force equilibrium.
    • This therapy promotes more physiologic alveolar and sutural growth.
    • The bioactivator "biprax" guides dental, alveolar, and basal relationships, exploiting speech and deglutition functions.

    Implications:

    • Functional interception offers an alternative to traditional early orthodontic interventions.
    • This approach can guide craniofacial development and prevent the need for complex corrective treatments later.
    • Early therapeutic compensation may lead to improved long-term orofacial health outcomes.
