  1. Hereditary: Inherited growth patterns of mandible such that chin grows downwards and backwards
  2. Congenital
  3. Environment
  4. Predisposing metabolic climate and disease

Q

What is the Aetiology of Class II Malocclusions? - Local Factors

A
  1. Anomalies of number: Supernumerary or missing teeth
  2. Anomalies of tooth size and shape
  3. Abnormal labial frenum: Mucosal barriers
  4. Premature loss of or prolonged retention of primary teeth: Early loss of maxillary Es can result in mesial migration, rotation and tipping of maxillary 1st molars
  5. Delayed eruption of permanent teeth
  6. Abnormal eruptive path
  7. Ankylosis
  8. Dental caries
  9. Improper dental restorations

Q

Characteristics of Class II DIv 1 Soft Tissue Profile

A
  1. Convex facial profile
  2. Lower lip trapped behind upper incisors (Significantly retrognathic mandible + Increased overjet)

Q

Characteristics of Class II Div 1 Skeletal Profile

A
  1. Convex facial profile
  2. Significantly retrognathic mandible + Increased overjet

3.Protrusion of maxilla

Skeletal involvement indicates increase difficulty and more unfavourable prognosis

Q

Characteristic of Class II Div 1 Cephalometrics

A

Maxilla and teeth anterior wrt. cranium

Maxillary teeth are anterior in a normally positioned maxilla

Mandible is of normal size but posteriorly positioned

Mandible is underdeveloped

Mandibular teeth are posteriorly placed on a mandible that is normal position

Various combinations of above

Q

Treatment Aims For Class II Div 1 Malocclusion

A
  1. Relieve crowding
  2. Reduce OB
  3. Reduce OJ
  4. Correct buccal segments relationships
15
Q

Orthodontics ONLY treatment for Class II Div 1 Malocclusion should aim for?

A
  1. Dental camouflage
  2. Some mandibular growth
  3. Some maxillary growth inhibition
  4. Combination of above
16
Q

When should patient be seen for treatment for Class II Div 1 Malocclusions?

A
  1. Mixed dentition to start growth modification 1 to 3 years before peak adolescent growth spurt
  2. Permanent dentition
17
Q

Dental Characteristics for Class II Div 2 Malocclusion

A
  1. Maxillary central incisors overlapped on labial by maxillary lateral incisors
  2. Deep bite, minimal overjet
  3. Inverted maxillary occlusal plane with 2 occlusal levels: Anterior teeth overerupted and posterior teeth infraoccluded
  4. Mandibular curve of spee is exaggerated with extrusion of mandibular incisors
17
Q

Soft Tissue Characteristics for Class II Div 2

A
  1. Straight to slightly convex facial profile
  2. Facial pattern is characteristically hypodivergent with relatively short LAFH, prominent chin point, flat mandibular plane and deep bite
  3. Orbicularis oris and mentalis muscle well developed and very active,
  4. Lower lip curl: Deep bite cause upper incisors to sit behind lower lip
18
Q

Cephalometrics Findings of Class II Div 2 Malocclusion

A
  1. Mandibular form has a more acute gonial and mandibular plane angles
  2. Shorter LAFH
  3. Excessive overbite
  4. Lingual axial inclination of maxillary central incisors
19
Q

What is Class II Subdivison?

A

Class II Molar relationship unilaterally instead of bilaterally (Classified as subdivision of the affected side)

20
Q

Prevalence of Class II Div 2 in the population?

A

3% of populaiton

21
Q

Aetiology of Class II Div 2 Occlusion?

A
  1. Strap-like lower lip may retrocline maxillary and mandibular
  2. High resting lip pressure against maxillary central incisors
22
Q

Treatment Aims for Class II Div 2 Occlusion?

A
  1. Relieve crowding
  2. Decrease OB
  3. Correct buccal segment relationships
23
Q

Characteristics favouring orthodontics ONLY treatment for Class II Div 2 Malocclusion

A
  1. Small ANB difference
  2. Growing patient
24
Q

What steps are involved in the first stage of management of Class II patients?

A
  1. Correction of incisor flaring
  2. Molar relationship
  3. Crossbite
  4. Period of retention
25
Q

What characteristics lead to increased risk of traumatic injury of upper incisors?

A
  1. Incompetent lips
  2. Overjet greater than 7 to 8mm
26
Q

Timing of a Class II Referral

A
  1. 7-8 years old at time of eruption of permanent incisors
  2. Treatment once all permanent incisors have erupted
