Q

open palatal finger spring

A

tissues stay much healthier
baseplate of appliance can be much weaker if >1 spring used
easier adjusting as access with the pliers is easier
advisable to use twin guard wires, open springs more liable to distortion if no guard wires used

Q

boxed/closed palatal finger spring

A

can lead to proliferation of the tissues into the boxed area - not serious problem as only for about 6m
- any temp modification to underlying mucosa quickly reverts to its normal condition after a short time
baseplate much stronger - greater acrylic coverage
acrylic can be used to guide tooth along line of arch
take care to ensure spring over freely within boxed area and has adequate range of movement

36
Q

what should be used with midline palatal screw?

A

PBP - if deep occlusal digitation could also pull lower teeth out accidentally too

37
Q

midline palatal screw retention

A

Adams clasps 4 and 6s - can’t use Southend as would split

38
Q

midline palatal screw - if just want to expand posteriors

A

stop acrylic appropriately

39
Q

midline palatal screw - expand one side more

A

move division line - larger force on smaller area - will move more

40
Q

midline palatal screw movment

A

0.2-0.25mm per week
turn screw 1-2 per week

= 1mm movement per month

41
Q

SS work hardening

A

hard wire - draw cold metal through a series of dies of successively smaller diameter
- causes work hardening - gives wire spring properties
further work hardening during bending process of constructing components - utilise to increase spring properties

42
Q

SS wire fractures causes

A

overworking
mechanical abrasion
fatigue
weld decay

43
Q

overworking

A

bending then straightening the wire at the same point

creates extreme stresses within the immediate area

44
Q

mechanical abrasion

A

damaged by burs/stones/crushed

45
Q

fatigue

A

repeated straining action e.g. continually strained to engage a deep undercut with an Adams clasp

46
Q

weld decay

A

intergranular corrosion created by overheating alloy
causes chromium carbides to ppt at grain boundaries
oral fluids can now access the surface of other metals

= galvanic action - weakens - fracture

47
Q

18-8 SS composition

A
72% Fe
18% Cr
8% Ni
1.7% Ti
0.3% C
48
Q

Cr in SS

A

corrosion resistant - forms passive oxide film over surface

lowers temp at which martensite forms

49
Q

Ni in SS

A

corrosion resistance and strength

50
Q

Ti in SS

A

prevents ppt of Cr carbides at grain boundaries when alloy heated during welding or soldering

51
Q

18-8 alloy form

A

austenitic
can’t be heat hardened and remains soft unless cold worked
corrosion resistant when cold worked

52
Q

martensite

A

principal component of hard steel

formed by quenching from high temps

53
Q

explain why martensite is harder

A

cube distorted by interstitial carbon atoms that do not have time to diffuse out during quenching

  • creates crystal defects within the material similar to work hardening
  • prevent atoms from sliding past one another in an organised fashion - material harder
54
Q

writing a lab prescription

A
cross out missing teeth
aim
active components
retention
anchorage
baseplate
55
Q

active component

A

whatever applies force to teeth

56
Q

retention

A

resistance to displacement forces

57
Q

anchorage

A

resistance to unwanted tooth movement - newtons 3rd law

so only tend to move 1-2 teeth at a time in a URA

58
Q

functions of baseplate

A

connector
retention (cohesion adhesion)
anchorage

59
Q

where should the baseplate extend?

A

halfway to 7s otherwise gag reflex

60
Q

baseplate material

A

self-cure PMMA

  • quicker
  • more residual monomer (allergy)
  • disposable appliances - properties adequate
61
Q

when should you make the baseplate in heat cure?

A

if the pt has a known monomer allergy

62
Q

PMMA liquid

A

monomer

63
Q

PMMA powder

A

polymer

64
Q

heat cure PMMA advantages

A

better mechanical properties
can control curing
- easier to work with
more dimensionally stable

65
Q

IO displacement forces

A
gravity
mastication
tongue
talking
active component
66
Q

tooth movement aim

A

1mm per month

67
Q

reasons for slow tooth movement

A

relying on bone resorption and remodelling
can cause root resorption/rip PDL
can rip/cut off blood supply - necrosis
more force = more displacement force

68
Q

increased OJ consequences

A

trauma risk
aesthetics
functional - biting

69
Q

avoiding increasing OJ with URA

A

measure OJ each month - should remain same

baseplate helps to prevent

70
Q

reasons for tx

A

oral function
dental health
aesthetics

71
Q

aims of tx

A

stability
function
aesthetics

72
Q

what movement do URAs achieve?

A

tipping

73
Q

advantages of fixed

A

precise control - rotation and controlled root movement possible
multiple tooth movement simultaneously
reduced impingement on tongue space
can’t easily be removed by pt

74
Q

disadvantages of fixed

A

OH more difficult

components can be ££

75
Q

advantages of removable

A

no OH problems
cheap
simple to adjust if correctly manufactured - less clinical time
palatal coverage increases anchorage
can be adapted to transmit force to blocks of teeth

76
Q

disadvantages of removable

A

removable
only tilting
bulky - speech can be initially impaired and can produce increased salivation
need careful removal and insertion to avoid fractures or the appliance becoming deformed

77
Q

functional

A

source of force is not contained in the appliance - most passive
constructed so mandible is maintained in a postured position - influences orofacial musculature and dentoalveolar development
growing pts

78
Q

advantages of Adams clasp

A

small, neat, unobtrusive
can use on almost any tooth
can clasp PE tooth
highly versatile - can modify
highly retentive
provides a site (bridge) where pt can apply pressure with fingertips during removal
auxiliary springs can be soldered to bridge
can solder hooks or bent in during construction to accept inter-maxillary traction
can solder tubes to bridge of clasp to accommodate facebow for EO traction

79
Q

how do teeth move?

A

prolonged force
bone remodelling
controlled by PDL - OC and OB around tooth
compression and tension areas
- causes extra blood flow in both areas increasing cellular activity

80
Q

desirable pressure

A

25g/sq cm = 1mm per month

81
Q

FABP

A

OJ+3mm - prevents retroclining L incisors

build up of platform of acrylic behind U incisor

reduces OB

get posterior open bite - will sort as lowers tend to continue erupting

remove bite platform then correct OJ

82
Q

stages in appliance delivery

A

1 - check right appliance and right pt
2 - make sure appliance is the right design
3 - run finger over to ensure no sharp areas
4 - look for potential signs of damage
5 - try in mouth - look for blanching
6 - check posterior retention
7 - check anterior retention
8 - check and activate active components
9 - show pt correct way to insert and remove, get them to demonstrate it back to you
10 - book review 4-6wks

83
Q

advice to give pt

A

will feel big and bulky, but normal, will get used to it
affects speech - lisp - practice reading out loud at home - tongue will adapt
lots of saliva - will pass quickly
will feel tender/pressure/mild discomfort on that tooth - shows appliance is working
wear 24/7 inc mealtimes
take it out to clean with soft brush after every meal
can take off for contact/active sports = protective container
avoid custom gumshields - move teeth back
avoid hard and sticky foods - will damage appliance
be careful with hot food and drink - baseplate can act as insulator
non-compliance will significantly lengthen tx
emergency contact details

84
Q

z-spring which coils should be activated?

A

both coils = for straight movement

85
Q

wire thickness and force

A

thinner wires - less force
