Q

Centric Relation definition

A

centric relation is defined as a musculoskeletal stable position, with the condyles forward, as far upward as possible, centered transversely and with the articular disc properly interposed

16
Q

Centric Occlusion definition

A

centric occlusion (CO) or maximum intercuspidation is a dental determined position. Tooth morphology and position are the primary influences determining the mandibular position and movements. The condylar position is strongly determined by the dental contacts and intercuspidation through muscles and ligaments

17
Q

No CR-Co Shift means

A

there is a dental or skeletal asymmetry.

18
Q

What type of radiographs can be used for eval asymmetry

A
  • Lateral cephalogram
  • Panoramic radiograph
  • Submento vertex view
  • CBCT.(Best)
19
Q

Lower dental midline tx

A

Lower midline deviations will usually have an effect on the occlusion.
It is important to diagnose the deviation properly and plan the adequate correction.

20
Q

Asymmetric occlusion =

A

Asymmetric mechanics

21
Q

Asymmetry Treatment in Growing Individuals (pediatrics)

A

Orthopedic appliances in conjunction with orthodontics are used to help improve or correct the developing imbalance.
* Hybrid Functional Appliances * DistractionOsteogenesis

22
Q

Asymmetry Treatment in Non-Growing Individuals. (Adults)

A

Surgical Conditions with severe skeletal asymmetries are not able to be corrected by orthodontic camouflage and growth modification so surgical procedures are used to correct the deformities or asymmetries.
* DistractionOsteogenesis * Surgical Osteotomy
* Maxillary surgeries: * Le-fort I
* Mandibularsurgeries:
* Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO)
* Inferior body osteotomy * Genioplasty

23
Q

Deviations caused by functional shifts

A
  • Mild => minor occlusal adjustments.
  • Moderate to Severe deviations => orthodontic treatment to align the teeth
    *functional shift can also be the result of a skeletal asymmetry, rapid maxillary expansion, orthognathic surgery, and orthodontic treatment may be indicated
24
Q

Occlusal Splints - deprogrammers are used for

A

to properly evaluate the presence and extent of the functional shift by eliminating the habitual posturing and de- programming the musculature.

25
Q

Soft tissue asymmetries can be tx by

A

either augmentation or reduction surgery.

26
Q

Augmentations include

A

the use of bone grafts and silicone implants to re-contour the desired areas of the face.
