83
Q

Space maintenance

● Used when space is adequate following tooth loss (or marginally adequate with extraction)

A

● Good prognosis

84
Q

Factors to consider with space maintenance:

  1. Normal timing of eruption (when will permanent dentition begin erupting?)
    ○ Assessed by root development ⇒
A

active eruption begins when ½ - ⅔ root formation

85
Q

Factors to consider with space maintenance:

  1. Effects of early & late primary tooth extraction
    ○ Early loss/extraction (before ½ root formation) ⇒
A

slows permanent tooth eruption

86
Q

Factors to consider with space maintenance:
2. Effects of early & late primary tooth extraction
○ Late loss/extraction (after ½ root formation) ⇒

A

speeds up eruption

87
Q

Factors to consider with space maintenance:

  1. Location of tooth loss in the arch
    ○ 1° anterior tooth loss ⇒
A

No space maintenance required

■ NO overall space loss (but some minor space redistribution)

88
Q

Factors to consider with space maintenance:
3. Location of tooth loss in the arch

○ 1° posterior tooth loss ⇒

A

Space maintenance required

89
Q

Factors to consider with space maintenance:
4. Eruption of anterior teeth
○ Anteriors erupt lingually, so

A

DONT use a lingual arch for space maintenance if primary anteriors are not lost yet. Erupting teeth will get caught in the wire

90
Q

Factors to consider with space maintenance:

  1. Presence of succedaneous teeth (& supernumerary teeth)
    ○ Don’t need to
A

maintain space if no succedaneous tooth replacement

91
Q

Factors to consider with space maintenance:

  1. Cause of
A

tooth loss (ie. is there an ectopic eruption causing root resorption & tooth loss)

92
Q

Space Maintenance treatment options:

A

Band and loop
Distal shoe
Lingual arch type appliances

93
Q

● Band & loop

A

○ Simple & 60% successful

94
Q

Band and loop

○ Clinical management:

A

■ Separate, band, impression, stabilize, pour, loop form & position
● Loop contacts, but doesn’t encompass 1° canine → allows lateral canine movement when lateral incisor erupts

95
Q

Band and loop

● Loop wide enough for

A

premolar eruption

96
Q

Band and loop

● Poor oral hygiene will cause

A

decalcification of banded tooth (usually permanent 1rst molar - primary 2nd molar difficult to band bc convergent)

97
Q

Band adn loop

■ Recall every

A

3-6 months

98
Q

Band and loop

■ Potential problems if

A

lose abutment tooth or if loop becomes distorted downward into tissue

99
Q

● Distal shoe

○ Indication ⇒

A

ONLY when primary 2nd molar lost before eruption of permanent 1rst molar
■ 65% successful

100
Q

● Distal shoe
○ Clinical management:

■ Tooth banded & blade placed into tissue

A

1-1.5 mm below marginal ridge of unerupted 1rst permanent molar

101
Q

● Distal shoe
○ Clinical management:
● Blade placement based on

A

radiographs (factoring magnification distortions), required distance measured

102
Q

Distal shoe

● Prevents

A

mesial shift of erupting 1rst permanent molar & maintains space for succedaneous premolar

103
Q

Distal shoe

■ Placement of device requires

A

gingival incision (if tooth extracted at the same time as delivery of device, use extraction space as site of blade insertion)

104
Q

Distal shoe concerns;

■ Permanent molar may

A

erupt mesially into blade if position gauged incorrectly

105
Q

Distal shoe concerns

■ ——— in patient with heart or vascular problems

● Lingual arch type appliances (55% successful)

○ Types:

A
■	Lower lingual holding appliance (LLHA)
■	Maxillary transpalatal arch (TPA)
■	Maxillary Lingual arch (MxLHA)  
     ●	Not used often
■	Nance appliance
107
Q

● Lingual arch type appliances (55% successful)
■ Maxillary transpalatal arch (TPA)
● Can be used when

A

one side of arch broken but the other is not?

108
Q

● Lingual arch type appliances (55% successful)
■ Nance appliance
● Anchorage from

A

palate, but acrylic can cause palatal irritation

109
Q

● Lingual arch type appliances (55% successful)

○ Fabrication:
■ Arch always made with

A

adjustment loops

110
Q

● Lingual arch type appliances (55% successful)
Fabrication
■ Keyhole design →

A

allows incisor alignment, but steps away from premolar area to allow for eruption

111
Q

● Lingual arch type appliances (55% successful)

○ Follow up every

A

3-6 months

112
Q

● Lingual arch type appliances (55% successful)
○ Problems:
■ Don’t use lingual arch before

A

permanent incisors have erupted ⇒ arch will get caught on erupting teeth

113
Q

Space management

● Used with

A

adequate space & irregularity

114
Q

Space management

○ Transitional irregularity & crowding due to

A

incisor liability

115
Q

Space management

● Ideal for managing

A

  1. Holding arches with tooth movement

A

NOT resolve around an ideal arch form

137

A

retainer

138
Q

Space management treatment options (pt with adequate space with irregularity):

○ LLHA biomechanics may require

A

adjustment

139
Q

Space management treatment options (pt with adequate space with irregularity):

■ Heavy tipping force, so needs to be

A

placed passively on teeth you want to move

140
Q

Space management treatment options (pt with adequate space with irregularity):

  1. Holding arches & selective extraction of primary teeth
    ○ Necessary for
A

greater irregularity (but still adequate space)

141
Q

● Expansion of lower canine

A

least stable

142
Q

● Removable denture for missing 1° anteriors indicated for

A

esthetics (NOT space maintenance or speech)

○ Can be used for posterior space maintenance, but compliance a problem (Nance preferred)

143
Q

● Class II occlusion with crowding extraction pattern:

A

○ Extract upper 4s & lower 5’s

144
Q

● Minimal crowding doesn’t mean you

A

NEVER do extractions

145
Q

● TADs cannot be used

A

< 12 y/o

146
Q

● Space maintenance is NOT more stable than

A

space management or space regaining

147
Q

Majority of crowding issues ass. with

A

Class I

148
Q

● Maxillary irregularity/crowding

○ Ideal group (0-1 mm crowding) ⇒

A

worsens from preadolescence to adolescence

○ Hispanics > white > black

149
Q

● Mandibular irregularity

○ Ideal group ⇒

A

worsens from pre-adolescence to adolescence to adult

○ Hispanic > white > black

150
Q

Classification of Crowding based on:

A

● Facial form analysis (esp. lip protrusion - protrusive/retrusive/normal)
● Appropriate radiographs
● Space analysis - Tanaka Johnson prediction values
○ ½ M-D distance of mand. Incisors + 10.5 = width of mand. canine/PM in quadrant
○ ½ M-D distance of mand. Incisors + 11 = width of max. canine/PM in quadrant

151
Q

Excess space

● Good for

A

transitional dentition, so usually NO treatment

152
Q

Excess space

● Treated for

A

esthetic concerns or risk of trauma (with protrusive teeth)

153
Q

Excess space

○ Intervention also required if

A

eruption problems or pathology (ie. cyst) exists

154
Q

Excess space classification:

● Normal transition

A

(usually closes with canine eruption)

○ Oral habit → treating with oral habit appliance will correct. No other treatment needed

155
Q

Excess space classification:
● Generalized spacing
○ Caused by

A

large arches or small teeth

156
Q

Excess space classification:

● Generalized spacing with protrusion:

A

○ Fixed appliance
■ Bracket & tube;
2 point contact
■ Bodily movement with anchorage on molars

157
Q

Excess space classification:
Generalized spacing with protrusion

○ Removable appliance with labial bow

A

■ One-point contact → tips uppers lingually
■ Anchorage to posterior attachment (& palate)
● Retention via adams clasp
■ < 6 month treatment
● Activated 2 mm for 1 mm movement per month

158
Q

Midline diastema

● Diastemas reduce considerable from

A

preadolescence to adolescence (when canine erupt)

159
Q

Midline diastema

● Occurs significantly more in

A

african american

160
Q

Midline diastema

● Causes &/or associated problems:

A
○	Normal transition
○	Supernumerary teeth between centrals
○	Missing laterals
○	Frenums
■	Space closed first
■	Frenectomy performed after space closure if there will be a problem with retention
●	Morphology of frenum poor indicator of problem
■	Idiopathic

Q

Midline diastema

■ Frenectomy performed after

A

space closure if there will be a problem with retention
