31
Q

when do 3s and 5s erupt

A

11-12

32
Q

when do 7s erupt

A

12-13

33
Q

how is space gained for the permanent dentition

A

increase in intercanine width through lateral growth of jaws
upper incisors erupt onto wider arc (more proclined)
leeway space

34
Q

what should the leeway space on the upper arch be

A

1 to 1.5mm

35
Q

what should the leeway space on the lower arch be

A

2 to 2.5mm

36
Q

how do you work out leeway space

A

primary canine, first molar and second molar

minus

permanent canine, first premolar and second premolar

37
Q

when should a diastema close

A

if it is <2.5mm

38
Q

what are the factors of development of mixed dentition

A

sequence
symmetry
chronological guidelines

39
Q

how do you manage an impacted first permanent molar

A

if patient less than 7 then wait six months
orthodontic separator
distalise first molar
extract E
distal disking of E

40
Q

how can unerupted central incisors occur

A

supernumeraries
trauma to primary tooth causing dilaceration of permanent tooth
pathology

41
Q

how do you assess an unerupted central incisor

A

take a case history regarding trauma
extra oral
intra oral - palpate labially and palatally
is primary tooth present and mobile/discoloured
radiograph

42
Q

how do you manage an unerupted central incisor

A

remove primary teeth and supernumeraries
create space
monitor for 12 months
expose/bond gold chain

43
Q

what does early loss of deciduous teeth cause

A

localised crowding

44
Q

what does localised crowding effect vary with

A

degree of crowding present already
age
arch
tooth

45
Q

what is balancing extraction

A

removal of a tooth from opposite side of same arch

46
Q

why do we balance extractions

A

maintain position of dental centreline

47
Q

what is compensating extraction

A

removal of a tooth from opposing quadrant

48
Q

why do we compensate extraction

A

maintain buccal occlusion

49
Q

how do we manage early loss of c’s

A

balance extraction

50
Q

how do we manage early loss of e’s

A

consider space maintainer

51
Q

what does a removable space maintainer consist of

A

adams clasp on 6s
labial bow
southend clasps
baseplate
mesial stop if required

52
Q

what does a fixed space maintainer consist of

A

palatal and lingual arches
band and loop

53
Q

when do we assess first molars

A

8-9 years

54
Q

what is the decision to extract poor prognosis first molars based on

A

age of patient/stage of dental development
degree of crowding
malocclusion type
condition of other teeth
LA/GA

55
Q

what is required for the best result when extracting first molars

A

8s present
class 1
moderate lower crowding
mild/moderate upper crowding

56
Q

when extracting 6s what else should we extract

A

if lower 6 then take upper 6
if upper dont take lower

Q

what are instructions to patient with URA

A

wear full time
keep teeth and URA clean
brush after eating
use mouthwash daily
avoid sugary food and drinks
remove for sports

ask
did they walk in with it in
can they speak
suffering from saliva
take in and out easily
signs of wear
