A Review of a Commentary Published 1994: A New Management Model for Treating Structural Based Disorders: Dental Orthopedic and Chiropractic Co-Treatment. A retrospective case study.

by Harvey Getzoff, DC & Albert Chinappi, Jr., DDS

Introduction: This review reviews the operating principles of a dental chiropractic co-treatment model as initially discussed 20 years prior by Albert Chinappi DDS and Harvey Getzoff DC in their articles published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics.

Principles and Methods: The concept of dental and chiropractic co-treatment holds that the dental occlusion, as well as the spine, pelvis and cranium are determining factors in the functional health of the body. Instead of treating each as an isolated segment, the jaws, cranium, spine and pelvis are considered interdependent parts of a whole body system.

Philosophical Guiding Principles: The co-treatment model entails analyzing each patient from a developmental and postural perspective. The Chiropractor studies the patient’s function by range of motion studies, postural observations, orthopedic tests and SOT indicators. The Orthodontist analyzes developmental influences on the body of poor facial development by evaluating not only the dental occlusion but also the mandibular posture.

Principles of Craniofacial Growth and Development: The vault and cranial base develop first because of their relationship to the expanding brain. The second growth area is the mid-face or maxilla. Cranial bone development, the mid- face and maxilla, is both controlled by and responsive to the functional needs of all the structures and tissues involved. The third growth area, the mandible, is responsive to multiple factors inclusive of the development of the mid- face and since maxillary growth stops earlier it seems to set the anterior limits of future mandibular growth.

Effects of Craniofacial Growth and Development on Structural Function: As the model has evolved over the last twenty years, greater emphasis has been placed on the asymmetric development of the mandible, maxilla and mid -face and its effect on head position.

Conclusion: Essentially both professions need to look outside their world and understand that the body functions as a system that are integrated and interrelated, inclusive of the head, spine, pelvis and dentition.
