Summary

The purpose of Chapter 7 is to examine the various forms of preventative self-defence, that is whether the right of self-defence can be invoked before an armed attack has been launched, or at least before the physical manifestations of one have begun to occur. Given that there have been no attempts at formal reform of Article 51, the question arises as to how, if at all, might preventative self-defence be reconciled with this key requirement of an armed attack. This chapter therefore examines the three main forms of preventative self-defence: interceptive, anticipatory and pre-emptive. All three have been of central interest in the light of contemporary threats and challenges. In this respect, while there has been a greater acceptance of the possibility to invoke self-defence in the face of the threat of an ‘imminent’ attack, there has been, as explored in this chapter, disagreement as to exactly whether this is restricted to being interpreted in its ordinary temporal meaning or whether it is today necessary to take it into other contextual factors.

Pediatric dentistry plays an important part in the orthodontic treatment of patients with rare orofacial diseases. Interactions between these two disciplines are numerous and particularly noteworthy in the following pathologies:

cleft lip and palate;
ectodermal dysplasia;
amelogenesis imperfecta;
dentinogenesis imperfecta.

After reviewing the main characteristics of these pathologies, we will highlight the fundamental role of pediatric dentistry in the early diagnosis, the prevention and the dental care throughout the orthodontic treatment. A close cooperation between the orthodontist and the pediatric dentist is a key factor to a successful treatment.
