intra arch malocclusion Flashcards
BSI definition of class i malocclusion
lower incisor edges occlude with/lie immediately below cingulum plateau of upper central incisor
BSI definition of class ii malocclusion
lower incisor edges lie posterior to cingulum plateau of upper incisors (div I upper central incisors proclined/average inclination, div II upper central incisors retroclined
BSI definition of class iii malocclusion
lower incisor edges lie anterior to cingulum plateau of upper incisors. Overjet is reduced or reversed
Angle’s classification of class ii malocclusion
Lower first permanent molar distal to upper first permanent molar by at least width of half a cusp
soft tissue features of patient with class ii div 1 malocclusion
- Convex facial profile
- Significantly retrognathic mandible and increased overjet
- Lower lip trap, incompetent lips
- Acute naso labial angle
skeletal features of patient with class ii div 1 malocclusion
- Protrusive maxilla
- Retrusive mandible, shorter total mandibular length
dental features of patient with class ii div 1 malocclusion
- Protrusive maxillary dento alveolus
- Retrusive mandibular dentoalveolus
- Proclined/retroclined upper incisors
- Increased overjet
cephalometric features of patient with class ii div 1 malocclusion
- Maxilla and teeth anterior in relation to cranial base
- Maxillary teeth anterior in normally positioned maxilla
- Mandible normal size but posteriorly positioned
- Mandible underdeveloped
- Mandibular teeth posteriorly placed on mandible which is in a normal position
soft tissue factors that can exacerbate class ii div 1
- Lower lip trap (due to increased over jet)
- Active lower lip
- Lip habit eg suck on lower lip
- Low lip line ie lower lip does not cover upper incisors at all
- Forward resting tongue posture
- Lip incompetence/reduced lip tonicity
- Short upper lip
- Lip to lip seal by circum oral muscle activity
how does lower lip trap exacerbate class ii div 1 malocclusion
Lower lip exerts subtle force on upper and lower incisors further proclining upper incisors and may further retrocline lower incisors
what soft tissue factors retrocline lower incisors, exacerbating class ii malocclusion
- Active lower lip
- Lip habit eg suck on lower lip
what soft tissue factors procline upper incisors, exacerbating class ii div 1 malocclusion
- Low lip line ie lower lip does not cover upper incisors at all –> Upper incisors pushed by tongue more labially
- Forward resting tongue posture
- Lip incompetence/reduced lip tonicity
- Short upper lip
What are the possible soft tissue features of patient with class II div 2 malocclusion
- Hypodivergent
- Short LAFH
- Prominent chin point
- Deep bite
- Well developed and very active orbicularis oris and mentalis muscles/high in tonicity
- Lower lip curl
- High lower lip due to reduced LAFH (exert force on upper incisors from lower lip and cause upper incisor retroclination)
What are the skeletal features of patient with class II div 2 malocclusion
- Acute gonial and mandibular plane angle
- Shorter LAFH
- Excessive overbite
- Upward and forward mandibular rotation
- Horizontal palatal plane
What are the dental features of a patient with class II div 2 malocclusion
- Inverted maxillary occlusal plane with two occlusal levels ie anterior teeth are over erupted, posterior teeth infraoccluded
- Exaggerated mandibular curve of spee
