Q

Describe treatment of cleft lip/palate

A

The lip is repaired in 3-6 months and the palate is repaired in a year
Ongoing issue is close to the gap, an operation is required creating scar tissue which impedes normal growth and development

Incisors are more upright than permanent dentition

They are spaced often marked towards the end

Q

Why is it best to have space in the primary dentition

21
Q

How is space accommodated

A

Spacing of the deciduous dentition
Increase in inter-canine width - 3.5mm in the maxilla and 3mm in the mandible
Path of eruption is more proclined

22
Q

What is the rule for the symmetry of development

A

By 6 months there should be the same tooth in each side

23
Q

What problem can occur in the sequence of eruption

A

If a lateral erupts before a central then this is an indicator of a problem

24
Q

What are extra teeth that prevent the eruption of the other teeth called

A

Supranumerary teeth

25
What does macrodont mean
Big
26
What does microdont mean
Small
27
What is an anterior cross bite
One tooth is sitting behind the lower and one in front
28
What is an increased overjet
Upper teeth stick forward
29
What is a reverse overjet
Top teeth are behind lower teeth
30
What is the order of eruption in the canines, premolars, and second molars
In the lower - 3,4,5 | In the upper - 4,5,3
31
Where does arch length increase
Does not increase in front of the 1st primary molar but there is an increase in arch length posterior to the first deciduous molar to accommodate the 6,7 and 8
32
What is the leeway space
Difference in size between e, d, c and 3,4 and 5
33
What is the normal leeway space
Maxilla - 1.5mm | Mandible - 2.5mm
34
What is transposition
Teeth come in the wrong position such as a 3 and a 4 being swapped
35
What are features of an ideal static occlusion
Incisors slightly proclined with the lower Invisalign edge in contact with the cingulum plate of the maxillary teeth Overjet and overbite is 2-4mm on average The mesiobuccal cusp of the upper permanent molar occluded with the buccal groove of the mandibular first molar Long axis of the teeth have a slight medial inclination except the lower incisors Tight approximate contacts with no rotation Flat occlusal plane or slight curve of speed The crowns of the canines back to the molars have a lingual inclination
36
What are the different incisor classifications
Class I Class I division 1 Class II division 2 Class III
37
What is class I incisor classsification
Lower incisor edges occlude or lie immediately below cingulum plateau of the upper central incisors
38
What is class II division 1 incisor classification
The lower incisor edges lie posterior to the cingulum plateau of the upper incisors are proclined or of average inclination The overjet is increased
39
What is class II division 2 incisor classification
The lower incisor edges lie posterior to the cingulum plateau of the upper incisors The upper central incisors are retro lined, the overjet is usually minimal but can be increased
40
What is class III incisor classification
The lower incisor edges lie anterior to the cingulum plateau of the upper incisors The overjet is reduced or reversed
41
What is hypodontia
Congenital absence of one or more teeth
42
What is crowding
Insufficient space to accommodate teeth in perfect alignment
43
What is an overjet
Distance between the upper and lower incisors in the horizontal plane - normal overjet 2-4mm
44
What is an overbite
Vertical overlap of the upper and lower incisors when viewed anteriorly 1/3 to one half coverage of the lower incisors is normal
45
What is malocclusion
Variation from ideal occlusion which has dental health and/or psychosocial implications for the individual
46
What is an ideal occlusion
Anatomically perfect arrangement of the teeth
47
What is the normal occlusion
Acceptable variation from ideal occlusion
48
What is the buccal cross bite
Buccal cusp of the lower premolars/ and or molars occlude ducally to the buccal cusps of the upper premolars and/or molars
49
What are common missing teeth
Upper laterals or second premolars
50
Can you have crowding and spacing in class 1 BSI
Yes
