24
Q

When should the first assessment of premolars be

A

9 years

25
Q

What are general rules for extraction of 6s

A

if extracting lower take upper
don’t balance with sound tooth
if extracting upper don’t necessarily take lower

26
Q

When extracting first molars what do you want ideally

A
7s furcation forming 
8s present 
class 1 av/reduced OB
moderate lower crowding
mild moderate upper crowding
27
Q

What is the appliance for a posterior unilateral cross bite

A
active component - midline screw
adams clasps on 4s and 6s
has posterior bite planes
overcorrect 
can take 6-9 months to correct
28
Q

When do we treat anterior cross bite

A

early

treat early when laterals come through with URAs

29
Q

What is the stability of anterior cross bite

A

if you have a good overbite for ACB then don’t need a retainer even if patient grows

30
Q

What is the stability of posterior cross bite

A

50% relapse

overcorrect to maintain corrected even after relapse

31
Q

What are malocclusions that come from habits

A

proclined upper incisors
retroclined lower incisors
asymmetric AOB or reduced OB
unilateral posterior x bite

32
Q

When do you want the patient to give up their habit

A

<10 years as can resolve

33
Q

What do we do for retained deciduous teeth

A

take out relatively soon as there is capacity for adult teeth to drift

34
Q

What are infra occluded deciduous teeth called

A
submerging teeth
due to ankylosis
happens more often in lower 
doesn't always have sucessor
happens in 10%
35
Q

How can we diagnose infra occluded deciduous teeth

A

visual
percussion - tap it
radiographs

36
Q

What is the management for submerging teeth

A

if has a permanent successor then observe for one year

if no successor then extract it

37
Q

When should you extract the submerging tooth

A

when only 1mm of crown showing

38
Q

Where do the upper canines develop

A
palatally below the orbit
long migration 
migrate and lie labial and distal to root apex of upper laterals 
90% palpable by 11 yrs
if can't feel ti then radiograph
39
Q

How do we assess canines for delayed eruption / ectopic position

A

assess position of upper canines from 10 yrs onwards
should palpate by 11 years
mobile C’s, symmetry

40
Q

What is ideal radiographs for localisation of ectopic canines

A

anterior maxillary occlusal

OPT

41
Q

If you detect an ectopic canine then what can you do

A

extract the Cs
success depends on how high the canine is and how much of the adjacent incisor it overlaps
if doesn’t overlap by over a half then over 90% chance
if more than half then 60%
if lots of space then higher success rate, can get rapid maxillary expansion and high pull head gear

42
Q

What is the cause of reverse overjet

A

dental/skeletal/combination

43
Q

What is the incisor angulations that we need to treat a reverse overjet using camouflage treatment

A

Upper has to be less than 120 and lowers less than 80 degrees

44
Q

What are the functional appliances for class II

A
functional regulator (FR)
frankel III
45
Q

What is the difference between FR2 and FR3

A

FR3 is an FR2 but upside down

46
Q

What is the function of FR3

A

tries to change soft tissue environment to make sure teeth can move in desired direction

47
Q

What are the components of the functional appliances of FR2 and 3

A

buccal shields
pelots
tight lower labial bow
spring to proline ULS

48
Q

What is the function of the buccal shields

A

tries to hold the cheeks and buccinator away from teeth to allow them to expand naturally

49
Q

What is the function of the pelots

A

at the front

hold lips away from teeth to allow them to tip forward

50
Q

What is the function of the labial bow

A

tip teeth back

51
Q

What is the success rate of the functional appliances for class III

A

<30%

52
Q

What is maxillary protection

A

pull maxilla forward

53
Q

What does maxillary protraction consist of

A

reverse pull headgear with facemask

can be with rapid maxillary expansion

54
Q

What is the success rate of maxillary protraction

A

70% success rate

55
Q

What is the newer technique for maxillary protraction

A

strong class III elastic traction worn FT
applied to bone screws or plates fixed to maxilla and mandible
applied to bone screws or plates fixed to maxilla and mandible

90% success rate

56
Q

What is the cause of increased OJ

A

dental skeletal combo

57
Q

What is the issue of an increased OJ

A

risk of trauma

incompetent lips

58
Q

What is the interceptive tx for class II

A

functional appliance

head gear to restrict maxillary forward growth

59
Q

How does the functional appliance for class II work

A

harness the forces generated by big muscles that sit around the jaw to promote mandibular growth and restrict maxillary growth and top teeth back
