Lecture 10 Flashcards
when extraoral force is applied to the maxillary teeth, where is the force effective?
sutures of maxilla
What does occipital pull head gear do to growth?
restricts max growth in anterior-posterior and vertical demensions
in what class would restriction of growth in the maxilla be beneficial?
class II
what are the two general philosophies for implementing max. expansion?
1-fixed expansion
2- removable expansion
4 negative effects from using removable expansion appliances
1-apical and crestal stress in anchor teeth is higher
2-higher stress in cortical and spongy bone from forces produced against hard palate and alv. bone
3-vertical displacement (crown tipping) of molar cusps
4-poor patient compliance
what are the 2 internal rotations of the mandible?
1- rotation around the condyle (matrix rotation)
2-rotations centered within body (intra matrix rotation)
T/F over time mandibular plane increases
False. body of mandible rotates (up anteriorly, down posteriorly)
*rotation of around condyle or centered within mand. body
What makes the mandible more challenging to expand?
there is no mandibular suture
T/F moving lower incisors is problematic for stabilty
True.
*lip pressure increases too much
What area of the mandible is the only one that can be expanded and maintain stability?
expansion across the premolars
expansion for canines and maintain stability
0-1mm
expansion for premolars and maintain stability
1st premolars: 2mm
2nd premolars: 2-3mm
expansion for molars and maintain stability
3 mm
T/F the mandible can be pushed and pulled the same way the maxilla can to alter growth
False. The TMJ is difficult to transfer force through
what is the main problem for the cupping device?
it has to be worn 24/7 and kids just wont do that.
It also runs the risk of tilting incisors lingually
what is the purpose of the delaire-type facemask, AKA reverse pull headgear?
enhance A-P maxillary growth in a class III px
mechanism the Delaire-type facemask works
1-pulls maxilla while pushes mandible
3 effects of Delaire-type face mask
1-some forward max. movement
2-forward movment of max. teeth
3-downward and back rotation of mandible
it is easier to restrain or stimulate mandibular growth?
stimulate
*mandible can be pulled into protrusion and held for long duration with moderate force
when do you know true stimulation of mandibular growth has occurred?
when on the growth chart you see faster than normal growth that continues thereafter
how do functional appliances move the dentition? (2)
1-repositioning the skeletal bases, placing force on teeth by stretching the muscles and tissues
2-changing occlusion relationships and therefore occlusal forces on teeth
what is the threshold needed to move a tooth?
6 hours
*may or may not also apply to sutures
when is the best time to wear functional appliances?
sleeping hours
*longer than 6 hours and HGH is being released
Treating a deficient mandible can be treated in what 3 ways
1-modify growth
2-ortho camouflage
3-surgery
*teach px the pros/cons of each and that they may yield slightly different resutls
in phase 1 ortho, what area is one of the most actively adaptable areas of bone growth?
alveolar process
- between primary and adult dentition
- idea for ortho
what are the 2 aspects of the mixed dentition stage?
1-utilize arch perimeter
2-the adaptive changes in occlusion that occur during transition of one dentition to another
what makes phase 1 ortho limited?
it can only occur in the presence of at least 1 primary tooth
