BDS4 Seminar 3 - Interceptive Orthodontics Flashcards
what are some anomalies of primary dentition from birth -6yrs?
- Natal teeth
- Hypodontia
- Supernumeraries
- Teeth of abnormal morphology
what might need intercepting?
- Crossbites
- Digit sucking habits
- Supernumerary teeth
- Midline diastema
- Increased overjet
- Reverse overjet
- Increased overbite
- Early loss of deciduous teeth
- Developing crowding
- Poor prognosis first permanent molars
- Impacted first permanent molars
- Infra-occluded teeth
- Hypodontia
- Delayed eruption
what is this
anterior crossbite
what is anterior cross bite and possible problems?
- Abnormal relationship between opposing teeth in a buccopalatal or labiopalatal direction
- possible problems
*tooth wear
*recession
*displacement on closure
what are favourable features for correction with URA for anterior crossbite??
Tooth in x-bite palatally tipped
* Good overbite
* Aids stability
* Adequate space to move forward
what is managment of anterior crossbite?
- URA
- 2x4 appliance
*brakcets on incisors and 6’s
What is this?
posterior crossbite
what are problems of posterior crossbite?
- Displacement on closure
- Tooth wear
- Facial asymmetry
- Teeth may erupt in “displaced” ICP position
- TMJ problems?
what is management of posterior cross bite?
- URA
- Quad helix
- Rapid Maxillary Expansion
why treat increased overjet in mixed dentition?
- increased trauma risk
- poor aesthetics
what is aetiology of increased overjet?
- Skeletal
*Usually class 2
*Mandibular deficiency most common - Soft tissue
*Lower lip trap
*Hyperactive lower lip - Dental
*Upper incisor proclination
*Lingual displacement of lower incisors
*digit habit
what is management of increased overjet?
- growing patient
*simple URA retraction of upper incisors
*attempt growth modifitcation
how does functional applaince work for class II div 1?
- Enhance mandibular growth
- Restrain maxillary growth
- Remodel glenoid fossae
- Retrocline maxillary incisors and
distalise molars - Procline mandibular incisors and
mesialise molars
what is this
reverse overject
problems with reverse overjet?
- Displacement on closure
- Incisal edge wear
- Difficulty eating
- Speech problems?
what is aetiology of reverse overjet?
- Skeletal
*Class 3 jaw discrepancy
*Hypoplastic maxilla
*Prognathic mandible - Dental
*Mandibular displacement
*Retained upper deciduous
incisors
what is management of reverse overjet?
- Growing patient
*Simple proclination of upper incisors (URA)
*Attempt growth modification
what is growth mod for reverse overjet?
Chin strap/cup
Functional appliances
Protraction headgear
what is mode of action for growth modification for reverse overjet?
- Alter force exerted by lips and cheeks
- Disengage occlusion
- Face mask pulls directly on maxillary appliance and pushes on lower incisors
what is this?
deep overbite
