Interceptive Ortho I Flashcards
What are interceptive orthodontics
any procedure that will reduce or eliminate the severity of a developing malocclusion
What is the mouth like at birth
gum pads
the upper gum pads are rounded while the lower is U shaped
they often appear very class II
sometimes have anterior open bite
What is the eruption of deciduous teeth
6 months - 2.5 hours
ABDCE
lowers before uppers
What is the deciduous dentition like
incisors more upright
spaced
more susceptible to wear
What is the impact of deciduous dentition spacing on crowding
if there is no spacing = 2/3 develop crowding
<3mm = 50% crowding
3-6mm = 20% crowding
> 6mm = no crowding
What teeth are early mixed dentition
6s, 1s, 2s
Which teeth are late mixed dentition
4s, 3s, 5s, 7s
How can lower labial segment crowding spontaneously improve
up to 3.5mm of crowding may spontaneously improve
transverse growth increasing inter canine width
Why do diasetemas in 6 YO improve
due to the canine
if its <2.5mm the diastema should lose
What could be the cause of an unerupted central incisor
supernumeraries
trauma/dilaceration
other pathology
How do we deal with supernumerary if they are delaying eruption
remove deciduous and supernumerary
expose/bond
create space
monitor
What can trauma to permanent deciduous predecessor result in
can result in dilaceration
What is the aetiology of median diastema
normal (small teeth)
supernumerary
missing teeth
radiograph
What is the leeway space
difference between EDC and 345
What is the normal lee way space
- 5mm in maxilla
2. 5mm in mandible
When measuring spaced required for premolars and canines what do we measure
measure from medial of 6 to distal of 2
want more than 18.5mm for there to be room for permanent successor
What is balancing
take out on contralateral side
How does the effect of balancing and compensating vary with
crowding
age
arch
What is compensating
take out from opposite arch
What is the management for early loss of As and Bs
little impact
don’t balance or compensate
What is management for early loss of C’s
balance
midline will shift
worse if severely crowded
What is the management of early loss of D’s
small CL shift
balance under GA
What is the management of early loss of the Es
not to balance
major space loss
upper > lower
