What is interceptive orthodontics?

A

Q

management of first impacted molars

A

Management will be dependant on:
Reversible
90% will self correct by 7yrs 100% self correct by 8yrs
Irreversible
Whether the E is viable
Disimpact by placing separator/brass wire
Distalise 6 with URA
If non viable xla E and distalise 6 once erupted

Q

management of unerupted upper central incisor

A

Management
Remove cause of impaction/create space
?Give time for eruption in younger patients – if having intervention usually attach gold chain
May need active intervention in older patients

Q
  1. Failure/delayed eruption iii) Infraoccluded deciduous teeth
A

Incidence
1-9%

Aetiology
Genetic
Disturbed local metabolism
Gaps in the periodontal membrane
Local mechanical trauma
Local infection

17
Q

what can Infraoccluded deciduous teeth cause

A

Tipping of adjacent teeth
Periodontal problems
Alveolar ridge defects due to growth restriction
Space loss
Displacement of developing successor teeth
Overeruption of teeth in the opposing arch
Caries
Gingival hyperplasia

18
Q

management

A

Management
Will depend on:
Severity
Presence of 2o
Prognosis of 1o
Malocclusion

good flowchart on slide 18 to explain

19
Q

iv) Unerupted upper canine

A

Symmetry and timing – palpate at 9yrs
Incidence
2% impacted (61%palatal,in line of arch 34%, buccal 5%)
0.08% developmentally absent

Initial management
Clinical examination at 9yrs
Palpate for canine bulge buccally
If not palpable by 10yrs investigate further

Aetiology
Long path of eruption
Delayed exfoliation of the deciduous canine
Small/developmentally absent 2s
Polygenic inheritance
Presence of supernumeraries;
Crowding

20
Q

clinical signs of unerupted upper canine

A

Visual inspection of the canine bulge
Palpation
Prolonged retention of C
Loss of vitality U2/1

Radiographic assessment
Localising views required
Horizontal parallax – 2 periapicals (20o tube shift)
Vertical parallax - Anterior occlusal (70–75°) and OPT/ PA
CBCT

21
Q

Assessment for interceptive treatment for unerupted canines

A

Management
The management of impacted
canines usually involves five treatment options:
No active treatment and monitor radiographically
Possible sequelae if left:
Root resorption
Cyst formation
Interceptive treatment – xla upper c
Surgical exposure and orthodontic alignment
Surgical repositioning
Extraction

22
Q

incidence of crossbites

A

Anterior x-bite incidence 2.2-11.9%
Posterior x-bite incidence in 1o dentition 1-16%

23
Q

aetiology of crossbites

A

Local causes
Skeletal
Soft tissues
Pathology/trauma

24
Q

management of crossbites

A

URA
Quadhelix
2x4 appliance

Treatment is only carried out early to:
Eliminate displacements
Prevent perpetuation into permanent dentition
Prevent periodontal breakdown/wear

25
Q

aetiology and problems of poor prognosis Deciduous teeth

A

Aetiology
Caries
Trauma

Problems
Centreline shift
Localisation of pre-existing crowding

26
Q

management of poor prognosis decisuous teeth

A

Management depends on
Age
Existing space requirements
Tooth type

27
Q

aetiology and problems caused by poor prognosis first permanent molar

A

Aetiology
Caries
MIH

Problems with loss of first permanent molars
Spacing
Occlusal interferences
Anchorage concerns
Alveolar defects
Tipping of teeth

28
Q

how to manage poor prognosis first permanent molar

A

For best spontaneous occlusal results:
Age 8-10
Dental development – after eruption of lateral incisors but before eruption of second permanent molar and/or premolar
Class I occlusion
All permanent teeth present
Minimal incisor/moderate buccal segment crowding
If extracting mandibular first permanent molar consider compensating extraction of opposing maxillary molar – seek orthodontic opinion

29
Q

incidence and management of early loss of maxillary central incisor

A

Incidence
3% of children
M>F

Immediate intervention
Reimplantation – to act as space maintainer
Management following subsequent failure
Extraction of poor prognosis incisor +
Space maintainer if lost EARLY – reduce length of subsequent treatment and complexity.
Premolar transplant
Orthodontic space closure

Long term management
Denture
Bridge
Implant

The options above may require orthodontic treatment prior to restorative work.

30
Q

how to treat severe skeletal patterns: class II

A

Management
Early class II correction
Trauma limitation
Pyschosocial benefits
Early class II intervention
Digit sucking dissuasion

31
Q

aetilogy of severe skeletal patterns: class II

A

Aetiology
Skeletal
Soft tissues
Habits

32
Q

how to manage digit sucking in class II pts

A

Common in the mixed dentition
12% 9yr olds
2% 12yr olds

Extent of malocclusion dependant on:
Frequency
Intensity
Duration - >6hrs

Management
Conservative management
Encouragement
Positive reinforcement
Bitter nail varnish
Gloves worn to bed
If habit persists
Removable
Fixed palatal arch with dissuader

33
Q

Characteristic features
of digit sucking in class II pts

A

Characteristic features
Proclination of upper incisors
Retroclination of lower incisors
Asymmetrical AOB
Narrowed upper arch
Posterior crossbite

34
Q

aetiology and management of sever skeletal patterns : class III

A

Aetiology
Skeletal
Genetic

Management
Early class III correction- using protraction facemask
Reduces need for OGN surgery

35
Q

If poor prognosis A or B needs extracting how to mange contralateral tooth

A

Minimal effect on midline so No interceptive treatment

36
Q

If poor prognosis C needs extracting how to mange contralateral tooth

A

Balance XLA to preserve midline

37
Q

If poor prognosis D needs extracting how to mange contralateral tooth

A

Spaced arch - no interceptive treatment
Crowded arch - balance Xla to preserve midline

38
Q

if poor prognosis E needs extracting how to balance contralateral tooth

A

No interceptive treatment
