Programmed stimulo-therapy
Stimulation can act as an etiological factor for a malocclusion—this is then “negative stimulation” (Duran, Echarri)—or else as an initiation mechanism to establish normality of the oral functional triad (ventilation, deglutition and mastication)—this is then “positive stimulation.”

To initiate these positive stimulations, we use prefabricated MFS elements (Multi-Function System). Intended for night use, these elements can be used by the patient to provoke muscular reactions considered appropriate and that lead to normalizing functions (nasal ventilation, mature swallowing, and a balanced masticatory muscle pattern) through a
normalization of the codifications previously described. To initiate these “positive stimulations”
(Duran, Echarri), different prefabricated MFS elements are used. These elements have
been developed and clinically evaluated (Duran).

Functional education: prevention and interception of dentomaxillofacial malpositions, improvement of functional problems in adults. D. ROLLET
Some dysmorphoses can be detected in young children. If they are treated at an early stage, maxillofacial growth can take place under better conditions, favorable to the development of facial harmony. Conversely, if these dysmorphoses are allowed to evolve while waiting for the permanent dentition, they worsen. Growth occurs around these dysmorphoses, making later treatment more difficult and longer, with result compromises (alveolar-dental compensations).

My practice, full of color. F. POURRAT
Today, practices deploy their activities by systems—such as Millénium has been able to propose, meaning the communication system, the clinical system, the appointment scheduling system, etc.—or by processes, as part of the quality approach principle such as the realization process, the information process, the financial process, etc. Organization is one of the three operating pillars of the orthodontic company, and in each of the activities, systems, or processes, “visual management” can be a development tool for the company. Its advantage is that it is solicited through sight, a sense whose perception is very effective; communication is simple and efficient.

Orthodontic-surgical strategies for placing included maxillary central incisors. C.H. MAIRE-FROMENT, N. DAVIDO. C.H. MAIRE-FROMENT, N. DAVIDO
The inclusion of incisors is relatively rare, but it raises aesthetic and functional problems. If the most frequent etiology is the presence of supernumerary teeth, the cause may also be a sequela of trauma in the temporary dentition. In this context, the clinical situation is often complicated by anomalies in tooth shape and position, and even by the presence of large cyst-like lesions.
The age at which these eruption anomalies are detected is a determining factor. Interception methods can prove to be very effective as long as an eruption potential persists.
When the incisor cannot erupt spontaneously, orthodontic-surgical placement is the solution of choice. Management strategies must be individualized to the clinical situation (age, obstacles on the eruption pathway, cysts, dysmorphoses
de l’incisive incluse…).

Two included central incisors. E. LEJOYEUX
Clément, 14 years old, consults accompanied by his mother, after the late detection of included maxillary central incisors during a panoramic radiograph. Clément is not very advanced with his teeth: 55-65-75-85 as well as 53-63 persist. However, the primary central incisors went completely unnoticed, probably because they are fairly large. The patient is anxious about this discovery because, intuitively, he foresees unpleasant consequences.

Sleep psychology. M.G. CHOUKROUN
Psychosocial dwarfism is a disease that affects some disadvantaged children. Curiously, growth is observed to come to a halt, then resumes without difficulty during hospitalization. In reality, for sleep specialists, we must associate this abnormality with disturbed sleep. The family environment is such that these children are deprived of sleep. Hospitalization therefore consists in offering them a good bed
