Abstract:

Children are in the active stage of growth and development. Their craniofacial bones，dentition occlusion and facial soft tissues are in the process of dynamic change. How to give children perfect teeth is the problem we need to take into consideration. Orthodontic technique should be integrated into pediatric dentistry，according to the concept of oral preventive medicine. Besides，the clinical thinking and practice of occlusive guidance is proposed in children guided by physiological occlusion. To be specific，it means that during the period of growth and development in children，oral health examination，timely detection of oral health problems and intervention with advanced technology at the right time should be emphasized in order to obtain physiological occlusion，achieving stability，beauty and harmony of the appearance. Corresponding clinical practice includes the maintenance of the integrity of deciduous teeth and the length of dental arch，the intervention of disorders during mixed dentition and the orthodontic treatment for malocclusion in children，etc.

Key words: physiologic occlusion, pediatric dentistry, occlusive guidance

摘要：

儿童处于生长发育的活跃期，其颅面骨骼、牙列咬合及面部软组织均处于动态变化过程中。怎样“给孩子一口好牙”是我们应思考的问题。以口腔预防医学为理念，将口腔正畸技术融入儿童口腔疾病治疗中，提出以生理牙合为导向的儿童咬合诱导临床思维与实践，即定期对生长发育期间的儿童进行口腔健康检查，及时发现口腔健康问题，适时采用先进的技术予以干预，并引导建立生理牙合，达到咬合稳定、美观及容貌协调的目的。临床实践涵盖保持乳牙的完整性、维持牙弓长度、干预替牙障碍以及矫治儿童错牙合等方面的内容。
