Dx and Tx Planning Flashcards
Three planes by which we analyze teeth.
Sagittal
Vertical
Transverse
Relationship of the upper and lower teeth in the sagittal dimension.
Class I, II, or III
Relationship of the upper and lower teeth in the vertical dimension.
Open or deep bite
Relationship of the upper and lower teeth in the Transverse dimension.
Buccal or lingual crossbite
ANB value of skeletal Class I
2 degrees
ANB > 2 is what skeletal class?
II
ANB < 2 is what skeletal class?
III
Line from columella to chin
S line
Line from tip of the nose to chin
E line
Distance between upper and lower lips to the S line
0 mm
Distance between upper lip to E line
-4 mm
Distance between lower lip and E-line
-2 mm
Sum total of the the mesio-distal width mesial to the permanent second molars.
Required Space
Available Space
Straight line approximation of the arch that you get by adding up all the 2-tooth segments.
When is extraction contraindicated in skeletal Class I, dentoalveolar I?
When upper and lower teeth are retrusive.
Tx for skeletal Class II, Dentoalveolar class II in growing patients.
Orthopedic appliances.
