4B Flashcards
Sites of facial growth and which are good to modify
Sutures: Good Nasal Septum Synchondrosis: Bad Condyle Alveolus: Good
Requirements of condyles for modification
function and translation
Rapid growth males and females
Males: 12-14
Females 10-12
Percent of people with Class II
20%
Profile analysis is difficult for
CHildren under 6
Class III
Vertical problems present
Vertical vs transverse timing of modification and why
Vertical: difficult because longest acting growth
Transverse: first to correct because stops early
Class II and III and tranverse early intervention
II: No benefit of early intervention. Only for esthetics or trauma reduction
III: Maxillary protraction before age 10: 70% success
Transverse: functional shifts and arch length shortage
Sequence of surgical treatment
Pre-surgery ortho: prep
Surgical procedure
Post surgical ortho: finishing and detailing
Steps of Distraction osteogenesis
Latency: Inflammation
Distraction: Soft callus
Consolidation: Hard callus–>Remodeling
Main driving force for new bone formation
distraction
Critical part for DO bone formation
periosteum
Consolidation time vs distraction time
Distraction 1mm per day
Consolidation: At least double the duration
DO vs Orthognathic surgery relapse
DO had less relapse at 2-3 months
Same relapse at 3-6 months
Least amount of relapse
Lefort I with external distractor showed no relapse
Ossification of DO
Intramembranous
Endochondral
Transchondroid
