      Cet ouvrage propose une approche du concept craniosacral permettant d’éclairer le lecteur sur l’impact que peut avoir une dysfonction présente au niveau de la sphère orofaciale et temporomandibulaire sur des domaines ou champs aussi variés que l’axe vertébral, la respiration, l’occlusion dentaire, la posture, et plus largement sur les différents systèmes du corps. Illustré de plus de 250 dessins, photographies et schémas, ce livre fait le point sur : les différentes phases de la croissance ;le développement des fonctions orofaciales et leur impact décisif sur celui de la face, sa structure et son équilibre ;les dysfonctions de la naissance à l’âge adulte ;l’articulation temporomandibulaire ;les approches orthodontiques et ostéopathiques ;la place de la collaboration interprofessionnelle et l’articulation des différentes thérapeutiques.Ce livre exhaustif permet au praticien d’établir le lien entre les différents composants de la sphère orale, le crâne et le reste du corps. Garantissant une maîtrise de l’anatomie, il participe ainsi à la compréhension des troubles du développement qui doivent être envisagés et pris en charge aussi précocement que possible. Il accompagnera dans leur pratique ostéopathes, kinésithérapeutes, dentistes, orthodontistes et orthophonistes dans l’approche de l’appareil manducateur, l’articulation temporomandibulaire, et les traitements orthodontiques.

The text offers doctors an evidence-based and reassuring confidence boost when standing at a patient’s bedside postulating a diagnosis or for those panicked and uncertain moments when a nudge is needed in the right direction.
