Objetivos de tratamiento de la filosofía face. Casos clínicos
AUTHOR: Amaia Maté, Domingo Martín, Jaime Valenzuela
English abstract
The FACE philosophy is characterized by clearly defined treatment goals. This increases diagnostic ability and improves the quality and stability of the end result. The objective is to establish ideal occlusion with good facial esthetics and an orthopedic stable joint position.At this article, we start describing the different goals of this philoso- phy: facial esthetics, dental esthetics, functional occlusion, periodontaltissues, airway and stability. Afterwards, we present two case reports that we consider reflectthe principles of this treatment philosophy. Both cases presented ar- ticular problems and received a first treatment phase with a splint, fo- llowed by a phase with fixed appliances for vertical control with skele- tal anchorage. We describe the diagnosis, the treatment plan and thetreatment mechanics, and we show how we achieved the treatment goals of the FACE philosophy, previously described. Key words: treatment goals, orthopedic stable joint position, functional occlusion, facial esthetics.
