[Psychologic and psychiatric environment in the correction of facial dysmorphism]. / Environnement psychologique et psychiatrique dans les corrections des dysmorphies faciales.

Stomatologists well know that phenotype can reproduce a lot of abnormal genotype aspects, in facial growth. These vitiations are bound to abnormal behaviours during such functions as: deglutition, breathing, oral expression. It is important to know if "wrong para-functions" adopted in such praxies are psychologically significant. Very often, the psychiatrist only, will be able to confirm or oppose contra-indication about the surgical treatment of facial abnormalities in such special cases, known or unknown.
