[Cauhépé-Fieux syndrome. Interception in the deciduous dentition of mid-face hypoplasia].
Inadequate transverse development of the milk dentition alveolar arcade (Cauhepe-Fieux syndrome) may have important effects on the constitution of facial architecture and in the medium term require orthognathic surgery. The acquisition of dental arcade contact on deglutition is only possible after normalization of the dimensions of the arch of the palate. The recommended suture inducing prosthesis should obligatorily include intercalating molar plates designed to overcome inadequate occlusion during treatment (on average 9 months). Both stimulation of growth at the level of the intermaxillary suture in this age group, and the stability of the results obtained, have been demonstrated after a period of follow up of more than 10 years taking into account the cybernetic aspects of the studies carried out by Professor Petrovic.
