Can therapeutic reassessment in ODF be based on management principles?
117 avenue Alain Peyrefitte, 77160 Provins, France
Introduction:
Re-evaluation of therapy is sometimes necessary during treatment. Rarely planned or desired, it is legitimate to look for a way to avoid it while carrying out the correction of the dysmorphosis as initially envisaged. Can the introduction of management into the therapeutic process, and particularly the principle of the feedback loop, make it possible to eliminate any therapeutic re-evaluation?
Materials And Methods:
After having defined management, cybernetics and the feedback loop as well as the framework for their application, we will look for ways to apply them to the dento-maxillo-facial orthopedics and will then study through historical practice the specific foundations of management and cybernetics in order to be able to conclude that these means are well adapted to our practice. We will rely on a set of historical, sociological and anthropological sources.
Conclusions:
Management is unsuitable for eliminating the need for therapeutic re-evaluation because, through the deployment of the organizational mode which is consubstantial with it, it is opposed to the institutional order of which any therapeutic approach is a part.
