DOY - Prelims Flashcards
What is the sequence of eruption for the permanent maxillary teeth?
6 1 2 4 5 3 7
What is the sequence of eruption for the permanent mandibular teeth?
6 1 2 3 4 5 7
What are the characteristics of mixed dentition?
- elongation of permanent root
- resorption of primary root
- occlusal movement of permanent teeth
- growth of alveolar process
Teeth that replace primary teeth
Successional teeth
Those permanent teeth that erupt posteriorly to the primary teeth and does not follow any teeth
Accessional teeth
What are the two stages in Mixed dentition
Early and late mixed dentition
Also known as the ugly ducking phase that is prominent from ages 8-10
Flaring of upper incisors
It is a transient / self-correcting
malocclusion seen in the maxillary
incisor region between 8 - 9 years of
age
Ugly duckling stage
A phenomenon in the ugly duckling stage
Broadbent phenomenon
How to resolve the ugly duckling stage
eruption of the permanent canines
This difference between the amount of space needed
for accommodation of the incisors & the amount of space available for this is called
Incisal Liability
In the exchange of incisors which one is larger
Permanent incisors
How to overcome incisal liability
- Interdental spacing of primary incisor
- inter canine arch width growth
- Labial positioning of the permanent incisors
- Favorable size ratio between primary and permanent
incisors
Good ____ of
primary incisors allows for
better alignment of the
larger permanent incisors.
interdental spacing
increased ___
creates more room for the
permanent incisors
intercanine width
mandibular intercanine width
increases mostly during
___ eruption
permanent incisor
Permanent incisors erupt to a more labial position and are angled more labially, thereby
increasing the ___
arch length
favorable size ratio of primary and permanent incisors
Large primary and small permanent
Resolution of distal flaring
with the eruption of canine
The combined mesiodistal width of the permanent canines and pre-molars is usually less than that of the primary canines and molars. This surplus space is called
Leeway space
Leeway space in the maxilla
1.8 mm
Leeways space in the mandible
3.4 mm
What is the the difference between the sum of the mesiodistal crown widths of the primary canines and molars and that of their successors, the permanent canines and premolars?
Leeway space
present between lateral incisor and canine in upper
and canine and deciduous first molar in the lower
Primate space
present between the deciduous incisors;
spaces present in primary dentition helps in the
alignment of the permanent incisors.
Interdental spaces
Mesial migration of the erupting mandibular permanent molar and uses the mandibular primate space
Early mesial shift
Late mesial shift of the lower permanent 1st molar occur by utilising of ____, where the mandibular 1st molar moves in a mesial direction after loss of the second deciduous molar to achieve cusp to groove relationship
leeway space
Flush terminal plane may lead to
Class 1, Class 2, and end-to-end
Mesial step may lead to
Class 1 and Class 3
Distal step leads to
Class 2
General shape of the palatal arch in the permanent dentition determined by the shape of the underlying basal bone
U-shaped
This diverts food away from the gingiva to prevent it form being traumatized
Facial and lingual curvatures
the highest point of a curve or the greatest convexity or bulge
Crest of curvature
The crest of curvature is Found in the ___ on the lingual surfaces of posterior teeth
middle 1/3 of the crown
Location of the crest of curvature on the crowns
where a tooth touches the adjacent tooth
Functions of the contact areas
- Stabilize the tooth within
the alveolus - Help prevent food impaction
- Protect the interdental
papilla
Distal contacts are more cervical than mesial contacts except ___ where the mesial contact is more cervical and
mandibular
4s
____
where the mesial and distal contacts are at the same level
mandibular centrals
Contact areas of all anterior teeth except Maxillary canine
Mesial contacts are in the incisal 1/3
Contact area of maxillary canine
at the junction of the incisal and middle 1/3
Contact area of all posterior teeth
Mesial contacts are at or near the
junction of the middle and
occlusal 1/3
A v-shaped spaces above the contact ares of teeth viewed from the occlusal or incisal aspect
embrasures
Larger embrasures
Lingual embrasures
Incisal or occlusal
embrasures are ____ and ____ on anterior
teeth but broad on the
posterior teeth
shallow incisocervically; narrow faciolingually
Other name for interproximal space
cervical or gingival embrasure
Triangular space between
adjacent teeth cervical to
their contact
Interproximal space
Contact of flattened or level
surfaces
surface contact
Mandibular cusp tip contacts the maxillary flat surface in
premolars
Mandibular cusp tip
contacts the ___ ___
of a maxillary cusp in
molars
mesial incline
crush and cut food as they are directed past the opposing shear cusps and cutting ridges toward an occlusal fossa
Stamp cusps
Responsible for maintaining the vertical dimension of occlusion
stamp cusps
act as centric stops during contact with the opposing stamp cusps and they minimize tissue impingement
shear cusps
give stability to mandible by providing a tight and definite occlusal relationship when teeth occlude (maximum intercuspation)
shear cusps
For every
occluding tooth,
three contact points
are seen in what shape
tripodization
