dental deformaties Flashcards
causes of skeletal malocclusion (4 main)
trauma
pathology
congenital
developmental
ex of skeletal malocclusion due to trauma
condylar fracture
ex of skeletal malocclusion due to pathology
radiation when young (anodontica, hypoplasia of mandible)
ex of skeletal malocclusion due to congenital defects
clefts (class III due to mx deficiency)
syndromes (treacher collins causes mn deficiency)
ex of skeletal malocclusion due to developmental problems
condylar hyperplasia
most malocclusions
most malocclusions are due to …
developmental problems
Tec 99 radioactive =
condylar hyperplasia?
acromegaly causes…
class III
goldenhar’s syndrome =
hemifacial microsomia
tx of skeletal malocclusions (broad)
growth redirection
ortho camo
orthgnathics
in order for growth redirection to work..
the patient needs to still be growing
why do you need to decide if you want to do ortho camo or orthognathics before beginning treatment
the ortho movements are opposite for the two treatment options
problems with growth redirection
pt must still be growing
TMJ considerations
limited correction possible
compliance and burnout (especially cleft pts)
advantages of orthognathic surgery
increased stability
decreased treatment time
improved occlusion
improved esthetics
TADS can do what
move the envelope of discrepancy for orthodontic movement
envelope of discrepancy shows a visual of..
how far you can move teeth with ortho, growth redirection and surgery
phases of treatment for orthognathics and how long for each
pre-sx ortho (12-18 mos)
surgery
post-sx ortho (6 mos)
general dentists role in orthognathic sx
will they need veneers, crown lengthening etc
general facial form is defined by what ceph measurement
N-A-Pg
Pg (on ceph)
tip of chin
t/f: you can identify specific skeletal problems using N-A-Pg
false
convex profile indicates:
protrusive maxilla
retrusive mandible
combo of both
a convex profile is skeletal/dental class
II
concave profile indicates:
retrusive maxilla
protrusive mandible
combo of both
concave profile is dental/skeletal class
class III
vertical maxillary hyperplasia causes class ___ relationship
II
causes mandible to rotate DOWN…chin goes down too…looks class II
