dental, cephalometrics, orthognathic surgery, TMJ Flashcards
Define apertognathia
Anterior open bite
define centric occlusion
maximal intercuspation of maxillary and mandibular teeth
Define centric relation
- the position of the mandible when the condyles are seated in their most posterosuperior unrestrained position in the glenoid fossa
what is the first ADULT tooth to erupt?
1st mandibular molar
defines angle classification
What is angle classification
- normal occlusion - mesiobuccal cust of 1st maxillary molar sits in the buccal groove of the 1st mandibular molar
- mesiobuccal cust of 1st maxillary molar sits mesial to bucchal groove of 1st mandibular molar
- mesiobuccal cusp of 1st maxillary molar sits distal to bucchal groove of 1st mandibular molar
Define overjet & overbite
- overjet is the degree of anterior projection (horizontal plane) of the maxillary incisors relative to the mandibular incisors; normal is 2mm
- overbite is the degree of inferior overlap (vertical plane) of the maxillary incisors relative to the mandibular incisors with the mouth closed; normal is 2mm
define prognathic
forward position of mandible relative to cranial base
Define the following cephalometric landmarks:
- Frankfurt Horizontal
- Mandibular plane & angle
- Porion
- “S” point
- “A” point
- “B” point
- “N” point
- Frankfurt horiztonal is plane between the porion (below) and the orbitale (inferior orbital rim)
- Mandibular plane runs in the plane from the line between Menton (most inferior point of mandible) and Gonion (the curvature [angle of Md] between ramus & body)
- Mandibular angle is angle formed by intersection of FH and MP
- Porion - superior point of EAM
- “S” point is centre of pituitary fossa
- “A” point is subspinale - most inferior part of anterior maxilla just inferior to anterior nasal spine
- “B” point is supramentale - most inferior point of anterior mandble between infradentale and pogonion
- “N” point is nasion - most anterior point of NF suture in midsagittal plane
What is a steep or shallow mandibular plane associated with?
- steep - class II, anterior open bite, short mandible
- shallow - class III, long mandible
What does SNA and SNB represent?
- SNA demonstrates the anterior-posterior relationship of the maxilla to the cranial base
- measured by measuring angle from sella to nasion to “A” point
- normal 82’
- SNB demonstrates the anterior-posterior relationship of the mandible to the cranial base
measured by measuring angle from sella to nasion to “B” point
- normal 80’
What are physical findings associated w/ vertical maxillary excess?
- excessive tooth or gingival show
- mentalis strain
- lip incompetence
What is mandibular autorotation?
- mandible rotation that occurs to maintain occlusion with maxilla, after lefort 1 osteotomy
- with lefort 1 impaction, autorotation of mandible to more anterior position
- with lefort 1 inferior inferior displacement, autorotation of mandible to more posterior position
What is the blood supply to the tooth bearing alveolar segment after a lefort 1?
- ascending paryngeal (palatine branch; from ECA)
- ascending palatine (from facial)
Name the artery most likely to be accidentally injured during lefort 1 osteotomy and it’s location
descending palatine
posterormedial maxillary sinus
which orthognathic movements are considered stable?
- maxillary impaction
- mandibular advancement
what are orthognathic movements associated w/ intermediate stability
- maxillary impaction wiht mandibular advancement
- maxillary advancement with mandibular setback
- correction of mandibular asymmetry
What are characteristically unstable orthognathic movements
- posterior positioning of mandible
- inferior position of maxilla
- transverse expansion of maxilla (lease stable)
draw a tooth
List the stages of tooth development, embryologically
- IPHMAC
- Initiation - 6 wks
- Proliferation - focal proliferation of ectoderm (enamel) & mesoderm (dentin, cementin, pulp)
- Histodifferentiation - ameloblasts make enamel (ae), odontoblasts make dentin (OD)
- Morphodifferentiation - tooth takes shape of crown, root; local tissues form
- Appositional growth - dentin and enamel grow thicker (increase in layers) via appositional growth
- Calcification - tooth mineralizes
What is the curve of spee? What is the curve of wilson?
- curve of spee is AP curve of mandibular occlusal surface of teeth during intercuspation
- curve of wilson is the anatomic curvature that contacts the buccal and lingual cusps of the molars in the coronal plane
list indications and contraindications to osseointegrated implants
- indications
- good quality bone stock (can be augmented w/ autogenous bone graft ~ 6 mos prior if required)
- medically fit for multiple procedures
- good oral hygeine
- contraindications
- medically or psychologically unfit
- poor quality bone stock
- poor oral hygeine
- bone condition like fibrous dysplasia, osteoporosis, rickets, hyper PTH
- risk factors for poor wound healing (dm, smoking)
