I disturbi respiratori del sonno consistono in patologie che si verificano o peggiorano durante le ore notturne

Tutte le riabilitazioni restaurative e protesiche dovrebbero tener conto delle problematiche occlusali, gnatologiche e posturali del paziente. La posizione mandibolare e l' occlusione giocano un ruolo determinante nel mantenimento dell' equilibrio muscolo-scheletrico e posturale dell' organismo. Se si altera questo equilibrio si possono manifestare problematiche articolari o muscolari in distretti anche molto lontani dalla bocca con sintomatologie spesso importanti. Attualmente, a differenza di qualche anno fa, per prevenire e/o curare queste patologie l' odontoiatra ha a disposizione nuovi mezzi diagnostici e moltissimi nuovi materiali da restauro e protesici. Tutti questi nuovi materiali in genere hanno qualita' estetiche elevatissime per cui la scelta deve essere fatta in base alle loro caratteristiche meccanico-fisiche. Oggi l' odontoiatra ha la possibilita' di scegliere di volta in volta, a partita' di proprieta' estetiche, il materiale piu' adatto alla specifica situazione clinica e all' occlusione del paziente.

Lo studio delle malocclusioni e della loro relazione con la funzione masticatoria è materia di interesse odontoiatrico e medico in generale. Se si considera che le malocclusioni si instaurano in età evolutiva, ovvero durante lo sviluppo psicofisico del bambino, la complessità e l'importanza dell'argomento risultano evidenti. Il morso incrociato monolaterale è una malocclusione che si riscontra spesso nella pratica ortognatodontica: la conoscenza e la comprensione delle alterazioni masticatorie correlate consentono la scelta del miglior piano di trattamento. Basandosi sui dati delle ricerche condotte e sulla letteratura disponibile, gli autori presentano una descrizione affascinante dei pattern masticatori e del loro ruolo nel trattamento funzionalizzante del morso incrociato monolaterale posteriore e anteriore. Comprensione dell'eziopatogenesi e della cura: fisiologia della masticazione, pattern masticatorio e controllo neuromuscolare. Classificazione dei vari tipi di morso incrociato e alterazioni correlate del ciclo masticatorio. Rispristino dell'equilibrio funzionale. Function Generating Bite. Sette diversi casi clinici documentati con ampia iconografia
