Growth and Development Final Flashcards
The tongue pushes from the ________________; cheek pushes from the ______________. The tongue also pushes ______________
inside out; outside in; forward
T/F Crowding of mandibular incisors is normal
True
T/F Self-correction of crowded mandibular incisors can occur due to tongue pressure
True
In what scenario is there a decreased chance of crowding due to the eruption of laterals? What does this allow for?
> 6mm spacing between the primary canines & central incisors
Allows for correction via tongue, cheek, lips
A habit that is not apart of feeding/survival and disrupts the balance
Parafunctional habit
What is an example of a parafunctional habit?
Thumb sucking
How does thumb sucking cause a posterior crossbite?
Depresses the tongue, which decreases the lateral push of the tongue on the maxillary molars
What are the types of sucking responses?
Nutritive
Non-nutritive
Chronic
Sucking of a digit or pacifier not related to the ingestion of nutrients
Non-nutritive response
How prevalent is non-nutritive response in the 1st year of life?
50-70%
When must the non-nutritive response stop?
By age 3
What 3 things in order make non-nutritive sucking worse?
Duration > Magnitude > Frequency
Continues after age 3 and causes distortion of dento-alveolar structures
Chronic response
What are examples of distorted dento-alveolar structures as a result of the chronic response?
Increased overjet
Class II malocclusion
Posterior crossbite
Anterior open bite
What is the MOST addictive and detrimental habit for babies?
Pacifier
What are other things that can cause open occlusion?
Allergies, asthma, sleep disturbances
Impact on occlusion?
Habits maintained < 12 months
NO adverse effects
Impact on occlusion?
Habits maintained > 36-48 months
Altered occlusions
Impact on occlusion?
Thumb sucking
Anterior openbite and increased overjet
Impact on occlusion?
Pacifier
Posterior crossbite
What has a worse impact on occlusion, bottle or breast?
Bottle
Order of congenital missing teeth (ON EXAM)
Mandibular 2nd premolar > maxillary lateral incisors > maxillary 2nd premolars
The tooth that is supposed to be erupted normally will over-erupt and the neighboring teeth of the congenitally missing tooth will lean mesial and distal filling the space
Result of infra-occlusion
When will infra-occlusion occur?
At ages 11-12 you have infra-occlusion of .47mm (.5mm) that is telling us that the tooth might go into infra-occlusion in the long run
At ages 19-20, tooth has a good prognosis, and primary tooth will stay long term
Are laterals the same height as centrals?
NO
Supernumerary teeth often __________
fuse
Where are mesiodens located most often?
Palate
SLOB Rule stands for
Same-Lingual Opposite-Buccal
