Class 2 Division 1 Flashcards
What is the definition of class 2 division 1
- The lower incisor edges lie posterior to the cingulum plateau of the upper incisors
- There is an increased overjet
- The upper central incisors are proclined or of average inclination
How common is class 2 division 1
Most common
What are the reasons for tx of class 2 div 1
- There are often concerns regarding the aesthetics
- There are concerns regarding dental health
What are the concerns regarding dental health
o Prominent incisors increases risk of trauma especially if they have incompetent lips as the lower lip is not present to protect them
What is the threshold measurmenet for OJ for it to fall into the high risk category
o If the overjet is >9mm then they are twice as likely to suffer trauma and hence fall into the IOTN 5a score
What can the aetiology of class 2 div 1 be divided into
- skeletal pattern
- soft tissues
- dental factors
- habits
What is the most common AP skeletal pattern associated with class 2 div 1
Class 2
possible for it to be class 1/3
How can we get a class 2 div 1 on a class 1/3 skeletal base
this can occur when the upper incisors are proclined and/or the lower incisors are retroclined either by the soft tissues or a habit or due to a buccally displaced/crowded central incisor
What is the common cause of the class 2 skeletal base
Commonly due to a retrognathic mandible but maxillary protrusion is also possible although less common
What is the vertical skeletal pattern associated with class 2 div 1
Found in association with a range of vertical skeletal patterns
The more significant the underlying skeletal discrepancy in any plane, the more difficult it is to treat
If the FMPA/LAFH is effected, are they likely to be increased or decreased
increased
Is there nay association with transvere skeletal pattern + class 2 div 1
No particular association with transverse problems
What is SNA
relates the maxilla to the anterior cranial base where A is the point at the depth of the concavity of the maxilla
What is SNB
relates the mandible position in relation to the anterior cranial base
What is ANB
SNA – SNB
What is the normal ANB
3 +/- 2 but for a class 2 div 1 we would expect the ANB to be bigger
What is the soft tissue presentation that can contribute to the malocclusion
o Lips are often incompetent due to the prominence of the incisors and/or underlying skeletal pattern
o The lower lip trap can be aetiological in the increased overjet
o If the lips are incompetent then special effort is required to create an anterior oral seal and this can be done in different ways, how the anterior oral seal is achieved effects the presentation of the class 2 division 1 incisor relationship
What arethe two ways that a class 2 div 1 w/ incompetent lips can achieve an oral seal
Lip to lip seal by activity of circum-oral musculature & mandible postured to allow lips to meet
Or
Lower lip drawn up behind upper incisors and tongue placed forwards between incisors to lower lip
Or
Combo
If lip to lip contact is not possible and the lower lip is drawn up behind the upper incisors, what can this lead to
this can retrocline the lower labial segment and/or proclined the upper incisors resulting in an incisor relationship that is more severe than the underlying skeletal pattern
If the tongue comes forawrd to contact the lower lip, what can occur
proclination of the lower incisors may occur, helping to compensate for the underlying skeletal pattern. This type of soft tissue behaviour if often associated with increased vertical skeletal proportions and/or grossly incompetent lips or a habit
What are dental factors that can contribute to the class 2 div 1
- crowding (may however have an aligned or spaced arch)
- overbite
- molar relationship
How can crowding lead to an OJ
Crowding –> due to the shortage of space, the upper incisors may be displaced labially to an overjet
Is overbite increased or reduced
Can vary, impacted by the FMPA angle
What is the most common molar relationship
Tends to be class 2 but it is possible to have a class 1 If there is space in the lower jaw resulting in mesial drift
What can the chronic open lips (incompetent) lead to
Habitually parted lips may lead to drying of the gingiva and exacerbation of any pre-existing gingivitis
What is the term for sucking habits
non-nutritive sucking habits
How can habits contribute to class 2 div 1
Proclination of upper anteriors
Retroclination of lower anteriors
Localised anterior open bite/incomplete open bite
Narrow upper arch
