Class 4 Flashcards
Major clinical problems of maxillary growth
Maxillary hypoplasia (class III)
maxillary prognathism (Class II)
Transverse deficiency
Restraining maxillary growth force magnitude
500-1000 g distributed over large bone areas and number of teeth
Restraining maxillary growth force duration
12-16 hours a day
Different from 6 hours for teeth movement
Restraining maxillary growth force frequency
Intermittent not continuous
Maxillary protraction face mask and reverse pull headgear
Intraoral components anchored on maxillary molars
6-8 months before 11 years old
3 mm of skeletal movement
Transverse Deficiency Palatal Expansion
Transverse maxillary deficiency targeting palatal suture
Seen in patients with Cl III Cl II with long problem
Rapid palatal expansion
1mm/day mostly for adolescents patients usually the entire course takes 2-3 weeks
Slow palatal expansion
1 mm/week may be used for late adolescent and young adult
_______ fo the mid palatal suture increases with age which increase the difficulty of suture expansion
Interdigitation
In adults the suture is either _____ or highly_______. Palatal expansion would produce mostly ______
Fused
Interdigitated
Dental movement
The mandible grows mainly
At the condyles-endochondral formation
And posterior and lateral surfaces -intramembranous formation
Functional appliances can _____ growth but may not ______
May accelerate growth
Increase final size
Unwanted dental effects of functional appliances
Lower incisor proclamation and upper incisor retroclination
May help reduce overjet though
Restraining mandibular growth chin cup headgear
Rarely used
Reducers mandibular protrusion by increasing face height
Widening the mandible
Symphysis
Can expand the dentoalveolus but not the basal bone
To expand the mandibular basal bone
Requires a surgical procedure—distraction osteogenesis
Distraction Osteogeneis
A surgically and mechanically induced bone regeneration process.
Osteotomy—bone fragments opened gradually
4 Sequential phases of DO
Latency
Distraction
Consolidation
Remodeling
Latency
The interval between osteotomy operation and then tart of distraction
Distraction
The period that distractor activation takes place
