Q

physiological basis of tooth movement ortho

A

if external force applied to tooth - will move as bone around it remodels
bony remodelling mediated by PDL
- if ankylosed/no PDL will not move (will cause movement of other healthy teeth)
cementum much more resistant to resorption than bone
- but some RR after ortho expected
OBs and OCs
- appliances transmit force to PDL and bone
- phagocytosed by macrophages when stop functioning

increased endosteal vascularity
undermining resorption
increased OC activity
= get OC coming in and nibble from below

retained primary tooth

A

radiograph

95
Q

why are primary teeth retained?

A
absent successor
ectopic successor/dilacerated
infra-occluded primary molars
 - trauma/idiopathic
dentally delayed
 - may be medical causes
pathology/supernumerary
96
Q

retained primary tooth - absent successor

A

maintain primary tooth for as long as possible (if good prognosis)
or extract early - encourage spontaneous space closure

97
Q

infra-occluded primary molar

A
tooth fails to achieve/maintain its occlusal relationship with adjacent teeth
 - MRs not same height
often corrects
temp ankylosis
percussion sound
98
Q

infra-occluded primary molar - prevalence

A

common 1-9%

99
Q

slight infra-occluded primary molar

A

100
Q

mod infra-occluded primary molar

A

within occluso-gingival margins of IP contact

101
Q

severe infra-occluded primary molar

A

below IP contact point - likely extract

102
Q

management of infra-occluded primary molar - successor present

A

usually self-correct so keep under review
consider extraction if
- contact points going subgingival
- root formation of successor near completion

103
Q

infra-occluded primary molar management - successor absent

A

depends on potential of crowding

  • retain if good condition (onlay)
  • or extract and plan space management
104
Q

early loss of primary teeth - localisation of crowding depends on:

A

which tooth extracted
when tooth extracted
pts inherent crowding

105
Q

balancing ext

A

ext from opp side of same arch

minimise midline shift

106
Q

compensating ext

A

extract from opposing arch of same side

maintain occ relationship

107
Q

early loss of primary canines

A

consider balancing ext

as can get midline shift

108
Q

when does the early loss of primary teeth have most effect?

A

when primary teeth extracted early - little effect if extracted late
more space loss in U>L
marked space loss in crowded pts
minimal/no space loss in spaced dentitions

109
Q

compensating extractions if early loss of FPMs

A

U6 extracted - don’t compensate

L6 extracted - may need to compensate - depends on occlusal stops

110
Q

when should the prognosis of FPMs be assessed if considered ext?

A

age 8-9yrs

111
Q

balancing extractions if early loss of FPMs

A

consider if premolar crowding

112
Q

factors influencing impact of loss of 6s

A
age at loss
 - U less important
 - L bifurcation development in 7s
    - too late - poor space closure
    - too early - distal drift of 5s
crowding
 - U potentially rapid space loss
 - L best results if crowded. if spaced/aligned - spaces
malocclusion

Q

loss of permanent central incisor

A

maintain space
