Q

What is the purpose of a growth chart?

A

Assessment of general growth height/age.
So for a general population you can look at where your child is in relation to their growth vs population of similar age

Q

Describe the 3 phases of Rate of Growth

A
  • Rapid growth at birth, progressively decelerates until 3 years.
  • Slowly decelerating phase, persisting until adolescent growth spurt in early teenage years (brief juvenile growth spurt at 6-8 years)
  • Adolescent growth spurt, followed by progressive deceleration until adulthood.

Q

Why is general growth prediction useful for ortho?

A

If we know where the pt is on the chart, then we can anticipate further growth.

27
Q

Describe the Growth of Maxilla— Antero-Posteriorly

A
  • Part by displacement forwards with bony in-fill at
    sutures
  • Part by periosteal remodeling
  • Tuberosities grow backwards, lengthening dental arch
28
Q

Describe the Growth of Maxilla – Vertically

A
  • Increase in height of alveolar process
  • Downwards drift of hard palate with remodeling
  • Bony in-fill at sutures
29
Q

Describe the Growth of Maxilla— Transverse

A
  • Two halves of maxilla move apart (bony in-fill at
    midline suture)
  • Nasal cavity and air sinuses increase in size
30
Q

Describe the Growth of Mandible— Antero-Posterior

A
  • Mandible displaces anteriorly
  • Meanwhile growth fills-in at condylar cartilage causing
    lengthening
  • The mandible remodels, esp. anterior region
  • Chin becomes more prominent (esp. in males)
  • Normal increase in length is 2-3mm per year, doubles
    during pubertal growth spurt
31
Q

Describe the Growth of Mandible — Vertical

A
  • Alveolar process becomes taller as teeth erupt
  • Ramus becomes taller
  • Growth fills in at condylar cartilage causing lengthening of mandible and increase height of mandible.
32
Q

Describe the Growth of Mandible— Transverse

A
  • Remodelling with resorption on inner surface and
    deposition on outer surface
  • Increases width esp. posteriorly
33
Q

Why does Remodelling with resorption on inner surface and
deposition on outer surface occur?

A

To maintain shape of mandible

34
Q

AP Normal Development class I is what?

A

Mandible 2-4mm posterior to maxilla

35
Q

AP Normal Development class II is what?

A

Mandible more than 4mm posterior to maxilla

36
Q

AP Normal Development class III is what?

A

Mandible is less than 2mm posterior to maxilla

37
Q

AP growth stops at what age for boys?

A

19yrs

38
Q

AP growth stops at what age for girls?

A

16-17yrs

39
Q

For a Class II pre-pubertal is there a potential for improvement or worsening in pubertal growth spurt?

A

Slight improvement especially if functional appliance is used

40
Q

For Class III pre-pubertal is there a potential for improvement or worsening during pubertal growth spurt?

A

Potential to worsen

41
Q

If you see a Class III skeletal pattern in young child, it is best to refer for ortho assessment before what age?

A

10

42
Q

What are the treatment options for Class III?

Surgical correction in more severe cases

43

45
Q

What age does Vertical growth stop for girls?

A

Mandible
Maxilla (cant)
Pan-facial

57
Q

A bilateral buccal crossbite may be due to……

Q

When is a Rapid Maxillary Expansion best done?

A

Before fusion of mid-palatal suture

59
Q

What 4 things would we like to predict for growth?

60
Q

Name 4 methods of assessment of Growth prediction

A
  • Chronological age
    -Growth charts
  • Secondary sexual characteristics

61
Q

Why are hand-wrist radiographs no longer used?

A

Unreliable
Inaccurate

62
