商品描述

This book marks one of the first applications of the Medicine Network discipline to an everyday scenario. It explores situations where patients, often in adolescence, grapple with the decision of whether to commence a treatment, seeking insights into the more plausible future scenarios. Additionally, the specific feedback from biological systems in the human body serves as a potent metaphor for addressing various challenges in the field of Complex Systems.

In recent times, systems thinking and complexity theory have yielded substantial conceptual advancements across various research domains. In the context of orthodontics, these approaches offer a more comprehensive understanding in contrast to the traditional mechanistic approach, which primarily focuses on the analysis of applied forces. Systems thinking directs attention to the interaction among dentoskeletal components, where the behavior of one element can influence others. The amalgamation of multiple elements leads to entities with properties distinct from those of individual components. The increasing complexity of orthodontic reality beyond clinical or radiological observations necessitates the development of new theories.

Complexity theory has demonstrated that emergent properties in biological systems can be discerned through appropriate computational models, as opposed to the analytical study of individual components. The central metaphor for the interactive craniofacial system during growth is portrayed by the facial topology revealed through network analysis, facilitating a systemic reevaluation of traditional orthodontic theories. This book delineates the novel insights derived from the clinical-computational approach, applicable for a prognostic and early interception perspective in managing dentofacial dysmorphoses. Its objective is to captivate practitioners and persuade them of the practical utility of these innovative approaches.

這本書標誌著醫學網絡學科在日常情境中的首次應用之一。它探討了患者,通常是青少年,在是否開始治療的決策中所面臨的情況,尋求對更合理未來情境的見解。此外,人體內生物系統的具體反饋作為一種強有力的隱喻,用於應對複雜系統領域中的各種挑戰。

近年來,系統思維和複雜性理論在各個研究領域中產生了實質性的概念進展。在正畸學的背景下,這些方法提供了比傳統機械方法更全面的理解,後者主要集中於施加力量的分析。系統思維將注意力引向牙骨骼組件之間的相互作用,其中一個元素的行為可以影響其他元素。多個元素的融合導致具有不同於單個組件的特性。正畸現實的日益複雜性超越了臨床或放射學觀察,這需要新理論的發展。

複雜性理論已顯示,生物系統中的突現特性可以通過適當的計算模型來辨識,而不是對個別組件的分析研究。在生長過程中,互動性顱面系統的中心隱喻是通過網絡分析揭示的面部拓撲,這促進了對傳統正畸理論的系統性重新評估。本書闡明了從臨床計算方法中獲得的新見解,適用於在管理牙面畸形時的預測和早期干預視角。其目標是吸引從業者並說服他們這些創新方法的實用性。
