Etiology of Malocclusions- Dr. Retrouvey (FINAL) Flashcards
Predisposing factors to malocclusion include:
- Genetics (primary factor)
- Functional matrix
- Disturbances in embryologic development
- Traumas
Primary etiologic sites include:
- Neuromuscular system
- Bone
- Teeth
- Soft tissues
List diseases associated with the following primary etiologic sites:
- Neuromuscular system
- Bone
- Teeth
- Soft tissues
- Cerebral palsy (results in severe malocclusion)
- Osteogenesis Imperfeta (COL1A1 & COL1A2)
- Ectodermic dysplasia
- Scleroderma
Disturbances in embryologic development may be due to:
Teratogens
May interfere with cellular differentiation during pregnancy:
Teratogens
Some examples of teratogens include:
- Alcohol
- Drugs
- Pollution
- Poor nutrition
We used to think cleft lip & palate could be due to teratogens but the idea have shifted now to them being due to:
Genetics
Most common craniofacial abnormality:
Cleft lip & palate
Crouzon syndrome is a type of:
Craniostynostosis
Crouzon syndrome (craniostynostosis syndrome) is caused by:
Early fusion of sutures
-the lower jaw develops normally
-the orbits close early
Crouzon syndrome is characterized by:
1.Bulging eyes
2. Small maxilla
What is a typical treatment for Crouzon syndrome?
Distraction osteogenesis
Crouzon syndrome (Craniosynostosis) is purely a ____ disease
Bony
Disease characterized by underdevelopment of the midface & eyes that seem to bulge from their sockets
Crouzon syndrome
Disease characterized by underdeveloped cheek & jaw bones, a prominent nose, broad mouth & characteristically small chin with steep lower jaw angle:
Treacher-Collins
When the maxilla & mandible are both underdeveloped this is considered:
Bimaxillary retrusion
In dentistry when you have syndromes, you typically have:
Hypodontia (exception Cleidocranial dysplasia)
Disease characterized by:
-delayed closure (ossification) of the space between the bone of the skull (fontanels)
-premature closing of coronal suture
-protruding jaw
-protruding brow bone
-wide nasal bridge due to increased space between the eyes
-high arched palate or possible cleft palate
-short stature
-scoliosis of spine
Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD)
Describe the mandible of a patient who has CCD:
Typically a class III (because of hypertrophic mandible)
Dental abnormalities of CCD patient include:
Failure to loose baby teeth & delayed or absent percent teeth, slow eruption of secondary teeth
In osteogenesis imperfecta, the _____ is affected:
Dentin
What class of malocclusion is often seen in OI patients?
Class III malocclusion (as well as posterior open bite)
-Midline deviation
-asymmetry repercussion on the condyles
-posterior open bite
-lack of chewing capability
These are all characteristic of:
Osteogenesis imperfecta
Type of osteogenesis imperfect that characterized by less bone but still good bone; majority of OI patients
Type I
