Q

a form-function cranial growth theory

A

Adenoid “facies”

20
Q

True or false: In the scientific method, there is a clear distinction between facts, which can be observed and/or measured, and theories, which are the scientists’ explanations and interpretations of the facts.

A

True

21
Q

Individual who has a long history of mouth breathing may have facial growth problems

A

Adenoid “Facies”

22
Q

EXAM QUESTION What 5 features can be used to describe an individual with Adenoid Facies?

A
  1. open mouth posture
  2. nose that appears to be flattened
  3. nostrils are small and poorly developed
  4. short upper lip
  5. voluminous and pouting lower lip
23
Q

EXAM QUESTION What 3 things influence enlarged lymphoid tissue in the oropharynx?

A
  1. enlarged adenoids obstruct oropharyngial airway, causing mouth breathing
  2. mouth breathing leads to changes in tongue lip and posture
  3. soft tissue imbalance produces variation in dentitional relationships
24
Q

What are the two theories which describe how adenoid-mouth breathing influences the etiology of facial form and dentition?

A
  1. Compression theory
  2. disuse atrophy therory
25
Q

EXAM QUESTION What does the compression theory state?

A

Children with englarged adenoids usually displayed V shaped dental arches

26
Q

EXAM QUESTION Describe the animal experiment for compression theory. What were the two main findings?

A

An acrylic block was placed in the palate to permanently depress the tongue OR obstruct the nares which resulted in

  1. increased lower facial height
  2. class II malocclusion
27
Q

EXAM QUESTION With regards to the ratio of adenoid measurement to nasopharynx space (A/N), a ratio of 1 to 1 means

A

large adenoids and/or narrow nasopharyngeal space

28
Q

EXAM QUESTION With regards to the ratio of adenoid measurement to nasopharynx space (A/N), a ratio of 1/2 means

A

normal or small adenoids compared to normal or large nasopharyngeal air spacce

29
Q

EXAM QUESTION With regards to the ratio of adenoid measurement to nasopharynx space (A/N), a ratio of 1/3

A

small adenoids to normal or large nasopharyngeal air space

30
Q

EXAM QUESTION Since mouth breathing may lead to lowering of tongue position, what does this lead to?

A

reduction of buccally directed pressure while the pressure from cheek musculature remains unchanged and the maxillary premolars and molars will be influenced in a palatal direction, causing constriction of the palate

31
Q

EXAM QUESTION What is the mechanism by which changes occur in the incisors due to nose breathing transition?

A

party caused by changes in obicularis oris pressure, from open mouth to closed mouth posture

32
Q

True or false: Despite the frequency with which tonsillectomies and adenoidectomies are preformed, it has never been established through controlled scientific studies that the health benefits of tonsil and adenoid surgery exceed their cost in any age group.

A

True

33
Q

EXAM QUESTION Adenoid surgery is only indicated for

A
  1. hypoventilation due to airway obstruction
  2. dysphagia (difficulty of swallowing)
  3. weight loss for six months or more due to tonsillar obstruction of digestive tract
34
Q

EXAMINATION QUESTION True or false: There is seldom a health benefit for adenoidectomy

A

True

35
Q

EXAMINATION QUESTION What are the 3 objections to adenoid surgery?

A
  1. increased airway disease (i.e., bronchial asthma)
  2. 8% more hodgkins disease
  3. aggravation of otitis media
36
Q

EXAMINATION QUESTION What is an additional potential breathing obstruction (differential diagnosis)?

A

allergic rhinitis

37
Q

EXAM QUESTION Examination of the ___ will often provide information on the etiology of mouth breating.

A

exterior nose

38
Q

EXAMINATION QUESTION What is nasal crease or linea nasalis?

A
  • results from “allergic salute”
  • takes one to two years of consistent rubbing to produce the crease
  • is a valuable tool in diagnosing the problem of allergies
39
Q

EXAMINATION QUESTION What happens when an individual has a deviated septum?

A
  • septum should equally divide the area
  • when not in midline (deviated septum) it can cause a significant amount of obstruction (especially if inflamed)
40
Q

EXAMINATION QUESTION The apparent function of the turbinate is to increase the amount of surface area of the nasal tissue to do what 3 things?

A
  1. facilitate warming
  2. humidifying
  3. filtering inhaled air
41
Q

EXAMINATION QUESTION What are the colours of the nasal tubinates?

A

pink and glistening

42
Q

EXAMINATION QUESTION In an individual with an allergy, the nasal turbinates will be

A

pale or bluish in appearance

43
Q

EXAMINATION QUESTION In an individual with an infection, the nasal turbinates will be

A

fiery red colour

44
Q

EXAMINATION QUESTION Chronic mouth breathing may be caused by nasal obstruction due to

A

turbinate swelling

45
Q

If turbinate swelling lasts for an appreciable period of time, it is termed

A

turbinate hypertrophy

46
Q

EXAMINATION QUESTION True or false: In certain instances, the mouth breathing persists as a left-over habit even after the removal of the nasal obstruction.

A

True
