Complications Flashcards
Five parts to diagnostic evaluation of the occlusion
- face and lips
- planes of occlusion
- the incisal relationship (like do we have anterior guidance)
- strength of periodontium
- occlusal dynamics
success in creating a stable occlusal scheme begins by establishing what?
by establishing the FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS of the dentition and then by defining the roles each tooth will plat when the treatment is complete
in establishing a stable occlusal scheme what is essential?
separate the dentition into its anterior and posterior components and then evaluate each individually and in relation to each other
what indicates a ‘healthy’ anterior?
overbite and overjet that correspond to having anterior guidance
minimizing the overjet and having a 1-2 mm over bite for natural anterior guidance
what indicates a ‘healthy’ posterior?
having strong attachment apparatus and it holds the dimension of occlusion – the vertical contact and occlusion
what are the most common problems in the ANTERIOR area
- missing tooth/teeth
- pathological migration/ posterior bite collapse
- class II relationship
- class III relationship
- Tooth ware (mandibular anterior)
details of tooth wear in common problems in the anterior area
referring to the mandibular anterior mostly
- lack of posterior teeth
- bruxism
- opposing dentition
- enameloplasty
with a missing anteriors where do we want to place heavy contacts when restoring?
on NATURAL TEETH - vs implants so that we have the propioception
when missing an anterior tooth (like lateral) what do you need to determine before restoring?
how much space you will need – find the M-D dimension and then create the space necessary using ortho (assuming other areas of mouth / health and perio / posterior occlusion is okay)
when missing teeth but occlusal plane is off and no allignment?
work with ortho – create a wax up – to move teeth to proper position and also to obtain and figure out the space you will require before restoring
pathological migration / posterior bite collapse – general implications and what to do
teeth start to move and drift and with no posterior support or contact – the anteriors begin to hit and they can become mobile
if pt. has no posterior support but wants to restore anterior what must be done?
CREATE POSTERIOR SUPPORT FIRST - can be temporary during treatment but cannot restore anterior with no posterior support – will just hit anterior
what class occlusion do we always try to recreate?
Class I
can you fix class II to class I?
yes
can you fix class II with restoration alone?
yes - depends on case
if needs more than just restoration - sometimes use ortho and resto
sometimes nees ortho - resto in combination with surgery
implications with a lot of overjet and class II?
when go into protrusive movements – hit a lot so if pt wants to restore anteriors cannot leave in a large class II because the pt. will just hit everytime
is there anterior guidance in a class III relationship?
NO - there is no anterior guidance – and if there is no contact between maxilla and mandible - teeth keep erupting
can you fix class III with restorations alone?
maybe case where placed implants and achieved an edge to edge occlusion from a class III
implication of edge to edge bite?
potential increase in incisal fractures occuring - so give pt night guard
for mandibualr teeth how do you gain restorative space gingivally? incisally?
gingivally? - do crown lenghtening
increase the bite to gain space incisally
major cause of ware on anteriors?
no posterior support – so occlude in the anterior and cause ware along with parafunctional patient habits
ware on anteriors with no posterior support? what to do first?
GAIN POSTERIOR SUPPORT FIRST
most common problems in the posterior area
- missing tooth/teeth
- furcation involvement
- crossbite
- tilting
- supra-eruption
furcation involvment
problem in the posterior area
grade 1 - you can restore with crown but will need to follow contour of tooth and consider material with a metal colar – patient can clean better
grade 2 and 3 - probably not
posterior crossbite?
problem in the posterior region – treat via ortho
if patient comes in with psoterior crossbite and needs crown do you restore for class I?
ortho if agree firsr
if no ortho – crown in crossbite because this is THEIR OCCLUSION
tilted teeth?
what problems does it cause?
how to correct?
problem occuring in posterior area
sets up interferences in lateral working movements
correct – uprighten the molars (may need to extract the third molar to create space first) so you can then increase the vertical dimension
tilted molar but patient interested in fixed partial
will need to consider the preparation a lot because may involve the pulp – elected RCT may be needed and need a proper path of insertion
but this can be done ith a fixed partial
supra-erupted teeth?
problem occuring in the posterior that will also set up interferences
what to consider with supra - erupted teeth?
is the tooth mobile, can you save it - if not extract it ?
if extensive– will need to cut it then do crown lenghtening but this could also compromise the periodontium
patient comes to you with supra erupted posterior teeth and is jsut interested in restoring the endotulous space on lower arch – what do you do?
DO NOT DO IMPLANTS IN A CROOKED OCCLUSAL PLANE
- have prosthesis now on a crooked plane
this is called a PATCH WORK
SO CORRECT PLANE ON TOP AND THEN RESTORE LOWER
