Class 2 malocc
% gen pop/US pts
The class II malocclusion is among the most common developmental anomalies with a prevalence of around 30% in the general population
* Affecting 33% of all orthodontic patients in the U.S.A.
categories class 2
Maxillary excess
* Mandibular deficiency
* Combination
etiology of class 2
The etiology may be of skeletal or dental origin
most frequent problem seen in ortho clinics
class 2
The etiology of class II malocclusion has been linked to?
The etiology of class II malocclusion has been linked to hereditary and environmental factors
Diagnosis & Clinical Features of class 2:
* Class II malocclusions may be identified by?
* Class II malocclusions may reflect:
- Class II malocclusions may be identified by precise clinical evaluation
- Class II malocclusions may reflect:
- Maxilla-Mandible disharmony with underdevelopment of mandibular growth
- Dental disharmony (Angle classification)
- Combination
class 2
Diagnosis & Clinical Features of class 2
* Maxillary first molar position?
* Two different types of Class II malocclusions?
- Maxillary first molar in a mesial position in relation to the
mandibular first molar (distocclusion, lower M to the D) - Two different types of Class II malocclusions
- Class II Divivion1
- Class II Division 2
class 2 div 1
- profile,
- mandible
- facial height,
- overjet
- Convex profile,
- mandibular retrognathism,
- variable facial height,
- increased overjet (proclined maxillary incisors)
class 2 div 2
- profile,
- lower facial height,
- overjet,
- overbite,
- maxillary central incisors,
- maxillary lateral incisors
- straight to convex profile,
- decreased lower facial height,
- normal overjet,
- deep overbite,
- retroclined maxillary central incisors,
- labially inclined maxillary lateral incisors
Class II Division 1
* In severe (skeletal) class II division 1, the lips?
* Proclination of?
* Increased ?
* maxillary arch?
- In severe (skeletal) class II division 1, the lips
are usually incompetent - Proclination of upper incisors
- Increased overjet
- Narrow and tapered upper maxillary arch
Class II Division 2
* Vertical dimension is usually?
* Dental crowding is created by?
* overbite?
- Vertical dimension is usually decreased in comparison with Class II division 1
- Dental crowding is created by retroclination of the maxillary central incisors
- Deep overbite caused by the over eruption of the maxillary central incisors and lower incisors
Skeletal Class II
* Skeletal class II malocclusion components may be classified by:
- Maxillomandibular relationship: Mandibular retrognathism, midface protrusion or both
- Vertical discrepancy: Anterior upper face height often greater than normal, and steep occlusal plane
tx of skeletal class 2
- Treatment strategies of class II
malocclusion are categorized based on:
categorized based on: Growing and Non‐growing status of patients.
* Growing patients: Ideally, treatment of Class II malocclusions should focus first on improving the skeletal discrepancy
* Using Functional Appliances while the individual is still growing. (Growth Modification)
class 2 skeletal in adults tx
In adults, repositioning of the maxilla and mandible can be achieved with:
* Orthognathic surgery: Adjusting the position of both in relation to the cranial base in the three dimensions and improving overall facial esthetics.
* Dentoalveolar compensation alone: Camouflage dental treatment
