VILA MORALES, Dadonim. Proposal of integrative theories for cephalogenesis and their malformations. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2013, vol.50, n.1, pp. 70-93. ISSN 0034-7507.

Frequently is possible to find simplistic explanations regarding the embriogenics theories of craniofacial malformations, without any explanation about cellular or molecular biology of this physiopathology process. The purpose of this investigation was to provide elements to allow the understanding of cephalogenesis as to value theories of cephalogenesis and craniofacial malformations and to suggest an integrative theory. A bibliographic study was carried out about cephalogenesis, and current scientific conceptions on theories of craniofacial congenital malformations. An Internet exploring was made during December of 2011 to January of 2012. Was evaluated the Web of Sciences reports related those topics published since 2006 to 2012 in searching as: Academic Google, Hinari, Scopus, Scielo and Medline. Was obtained 131 reports as result they wich were sifted and bounded to 43 papers focused this topic in an integral way. As conclusion was brought up to date cephalogenesis, and their alterations since the knowledge of differents biological levels that participate in cranial grown. It was considered simplistic or incomplete the theories used until now and intended holistic-sinergic theories of cephalogenesis and their malformations.

Palabras clave : cephalogenesis; cranial malformations; surgery craniofacial; anomalies maxillofacial; cephalogenics theories.
