To assess the wide clinical ramifications of control of craniofacial morphogenesis, a State-of-the-Art Workshop was conducted by the National Institute of Dental Research at the initiative of Richard L. Christiansen, Chief of the Craniofacial Anomalies Program. In conjunction with the authors listed above, the format for the workshop was developed and participants were selected. The workshop was designed to provide an in-depth review of present knowledge and to identify future goals and directions for research on guiding, altering, and thus controlling growth and development of the cranofacial skeleton. The agenda for discussion ranged from molecular biology to clinical arts such as orthopedics and surgery. It was evident during the workshop that the mechanisms and procedures for controlling craniofacial morphogenesis must be derived from many biologic, physical, and clinical fields of knowledge. It is hoped that there will evolve an interdisciplinary clinical art which is aimed at preventing and correcting craniofacial deformities. Substantial biologic information has already been accumulated on the craniofacial skeleton. The clinical art of correcting malocclusion through mechanical forces is now applicable to the entire skull. The outstanding technical accomplishments of radical surgery in the correction of congenital craniofacial anomalies show that the needed surgical skills are now available. When these resources are combined, an area of knowledge and a clinical discipline which might be called "orthocephalics" is already identifiable. The workshop was held at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, on Feb. 12 and 13, 1974. The ideas exchanged were integrated and summarized by the planning committee to produce this report.
为了评估控制颅面形态发生在临床上的广泛影响，国家牙科研究所应颅面异常项目主任理查德·L·克里斯蒂安森的倡议举办了一次先进技术研讨会。与上述作者共同制定了研讨会的形式并挑选了参会人员。该研讨会旨在深入回顾当前的知识，并确定引导、改变进而控制颅面骨骼生长发育研究的未来目标和方向。讨论议程涵盖从分子生物学到诸如矫形外科和外科手术等临床技术。在研讨会上很明显，控制颅面形态发生的机制和程序必须源自许多生物学、物理学和临床知识领域。希望能发展出一门旨在预防和矫正颅面畸形的跨学科临床技术。关于颅面骨骼已经积累了大量生物学信息。通过机械力矫正错牙合畸形的临床技术现在已适用于整个颅骨。矫正先天性颅面异常的根治性手术所取得的卓越技术成就表明所需的手术技能现已具备。当这些资源结合起来时，一个可称为“正颅学”的知识领域和临床学科已经可以确定。该研讨会于1974年2月12日和13日在马里兰州贝塞斯达的国立卫生研究院举行。规划委员会对交流的意见进行了整合和总结，从而产生了本报告。
