Abstract:

The treatment strategies applied for rehabilitating the disfunctions of the stomatognate system aim at reducing or even eliminating pain, at re-establishing functionality within the normal limits of the stomatognate syatem and, last but not least, at improving life quality. The therapy of condylian repositioning is complex, being applied in several steps, by numerous techniques, whose benefic effects may be increased by a timely establishment of the diagnosis, quick treatments, association of prophylactic therapies with the curative etiological and symptomatic ones, and strict observance of the indications of the multidirectional treatment schemes. Re-establishment of morphological and functional harmony and equilibrium among the elements of the stomatognate system appears as the main objective of stomatological therapies. The school of Ia�i, created by prof. dr. Vasile Burlui, brought an important contribution to the establishment, systematization, recognition and tracing of the signs, symptoms and therapeutical schemes of the cranio-mandibulary malrelations. A simultaneous approaching of all factors of interest, elimination of risk factors, a most rigorous application of the treatment schemes, interdisciplinary cooperation (gnatologist, prosthetician, surgeon, orthodontist, ENT specialist) appear as guide marks of the therapeutical schemes for rehabilitation of the condylian position.
