lecture 6 Flashcards
deep bite etiologies
*Skeletal
*Overeruption of incisors
*Undereruption of molars
or combo of I/M patterns
dentoalveolar processes of deep bites
I/M eruptions, typically reversiable processes with current malocclusion
what is the normal UI overlap to LI
15-20%
Transverse dimension
*Usually in form of?
* mandible?
*Some are also caused by?
*Usually maxillary transverse deficiency
*Maybe caused by overdeveloped mandible (skeletal)
*Some are also caused by unfavorable dental angulations (dentoalveolar)
possible tx
Disturbances of Dental Development
- Congenitally missing teeth
- Malformed and supernumerary teeth
- Interference with eruption
- Ectopic eruption
- Early loss of primary teeth
interference of eruption mechanisms
due to lack of space leading to: impaction and ectopic eruption
what to do when there is early loss of primary teeth?
space maintenance
- Congenitally Missing Teeth
*Anodontia (very rare)
*Oligodontia (several teeth missing) (>4)
what is wrong
what is happening here?
oligodontia
Dr Moyers’ Explanations for Congenitally
Missing Teeth
*Heredity?
*syndrome?
*Localised events?
*Systemic?
*Evolutionary changes?
*Heredity
*Ectodermal Dysplasia
*Localised inflammations or infections
*Systemic conditions, e.g. ricketts
*Evolutionary changes in the dentition (specially third molars)
commonly missing teeth as a genetic trend
LI, lower CI, mandibular PM
Ectodermal dysplasia leads to:
*Oligodontia
*Poorly shaped teeth
Most frequently missing teeth based on demos
*Upper lateral incisors (caucasians)
*Lower second premolars (all)
*Lower central incisor (asian)
