Abstract:   (437 Views)
The influences of natural forces and functional stimulation on form were first reported by Roux in 1883 as result of studies performed on the tail, fins of dolphins. Roux described the characteristics of functional stimuli as they build, mold, remold, and preserve the tissues . His working hypothesis became the biomechanical background of both general orthopedics and functional jaw orthopedics. The clinical aspects of the Roux hypothesis had already been applied by Robin, treating children with his “monobloc” as indicated in cases with glossoptosis(1).
The forces employed in orthodontic and orthopedic procedures include both tensile and shearing forces. Tensile forces cause stress and strain in functional therapy. They also alter the stomatognathic muscle balance. Both external (primary) and internal (secondary) forces can be observed in each force application(1).
