    • French
    Cet ouvrage s'inscrit dans une série de 4 tomes, intitulés La voix, s'adressant à tous ceux qui se préoccupent des problèmes vocaux, qu'il s'agisse de voix pathologique en quête d'un diagnostic et d'un traitement ou de voix normale en quête d'une meilleure pratique de la parole ou du chant. Le tome 2 est consacré aux troubles fonctionnels de la voix et aux mécanismes si complexes de leur constitution. Il étudie systématiquement les divers types de dysphonies, qu'elles soient dites simples, c'est-à-dire sans complication laryngée, ou au contraire compliquées (nodules, polypes, œdèmes, ulcères…), ou de formes particulières (aphonies, dysodie, troubles de la mue…). Les descriptions cliniques s'appuient sur l'étude de plusieurs centaines d'observations. Dans chaque cas, les indications thérapeutiques sont précisées. Destiné aux orthophonistes, aux phoniatres et aux pédagogues de la voix parlée et chantée, il s'adresse aussi aux professionnels de la voix désireux de s'informer d'une façon approfondie. Il sera également utile aux étudiants en médecine et en particulier aux futurs spécialistes ORL et se révélera vite indispensable au laryngologiste intéressé par les problèmes phoniatriques.

  • Dysmorphies maxillo-mandibulaires

    Traitement orthodontico-chirurgical
    • 1st Edition
    • Pierre Canal + 1 more
    • French
    Face à une demande toujours grandissante de la part des patients pour améliorer leur fonction masticatrice et l'esthétique de leur visage, un simple traitement orthodontique est parfois la solution pour corriger les malocclusions. Cependant, dans certains cas de dysmorphies, une intervention chirurgicale est nécessaire. Cela implique la mise en place d'une collaboration pluridisciplinaire étroite entre orthodontiste et chirurgien, qui se révèle être le meilleur garant d'une bonne coordination du traitement et d'un résultat final satisfaisant pour le patient. Avec une approche fondée sur des cas cliniques représentant des situations typiques de dysmorphies (classe II, classe III, anomalies transversales…), cet ouvrage permet aux orthodontistes de mesurer l'efficacité de certaines techniques auxquelles ils peuvent avoir recours dans leur pratique quotidienne : génioplastie fonctionnelle, distraction alvéolaire, distraction mandibulaire et maxillaire. Après un rappel des principes de la collaboration orthodontico-chirurg... les auteurs exposent des plans de traitement rigoureux en fonction des situations cliniques rencontrées. Dans cet ouvrage illustré par plus de 500 photographies et radiographies originales, les auteurs décrivent de manière détaillée les indications et les limites des traitements proposés.
