Exam 1 Flashcards
When does the initiation of the entire dentition begin?
During the 2nd month in uterine
Does the lamina grow facially or lingually to the enamel organ of deciduous teeth?
Lingually
(Hint it grows in the simplest direction the one with one name baby teeth (deciduous) can’t remember 2 names
When does the 1st permanent molar develop?
4 months in utero
2nd permanent molars develop when?
1yr old
3rd permanent molars (wisdom teeth) develop when?
4-5yrs old
What is the Field Theory(Butler) relating to the pattern of dentition?
There are 3 morphological fields: -incisor -canines -premolars/molar
Sequence of eruption of primary dentition. (Think chart)
Central: mand 8months max 10 months Lateral: max 11 months mand 13 1st molar: 16 months BOTH max&Man Canine: max 19 man 20 Second molar: mand 27 Max 29
In order to effectively use functional jaw orthopedics what is imperative for correction.
The presence of growth
What are the effects of the treatments with Twin Block Appliance
Brings mandible toward and maxilla backwards for class 2 correction
Etiology(cause) of malocclusion?
Genetic
EmbryologicAl
Antenatal
Congenital and postnatal
The definition of Classification:
The morphologic description of dental, skeletal,
and soft tissue deviations from the norm.
Edward Ange
Developed orthodontics as a specialty
Developed ‘edgewise appliance”
According to Angle ‘the key to occlusion” is
Maxillary 1st molars
Describe the Line of occlusion
a smooth curve
passing through the central fossa of
each molar and across the cingulum
of the upper canine and incisors
same line runs along the buccal
cusps and incisal edges of the lower
teeth
Class 1 malocclusion
Has the same relationship as normal occlusion
but Line of Occlusion -(twisting, maloppoosed)
Class II Malocclusion
lower molar position distally to upper
Weakness in Angles Theories
Angle assumed that 1st molar was always in the correct location
Gave no skeletal consideration
His classifications only considered the Anterior-posterior displacement
What are the percentage of natural occurrence of Angle’s 4 groups?
According to NHANES survey the most prominent is Class 1 malocclusion 50% Normal occlusion 30% Class II = 15% ClassIII= less than 1%
