Lecture 8 Test 2 Flashcards
T/F Much of orthodontic treatment is dependent upon patient compliance
True
What is Pro-Seal?
-A fluoride filled, light cured sealant that can inhibit long term decalcification
What are two prescriptions to help individuals with decalcification and gingival inflammation in ortho treatment?
- 1) Chlorhexidine or Peridex
- 2) 1.1% Sodium Fluoride toothpastes
Do studies show that sealants on ortho patients help reduce decalcifications?
-No
Who was the fist person to announce that he was going to practice orthodontia exclusively?
-Edward Angle
What was the first specialty in dentistry?
-Orthodontics
What is the most common ortho bracket system today?
-Edgesie appliance system
What does the edgewise appliance system incorporate?
-Rectangular arch wire that fits into a rectangular slot in the brackets
What is the theory behind the edgewise straight wire system?
-With a proper prescription in the orthodontic bracket you can place a straight rectangular wire in the brace which will place all the proper tips, torques, in and outs and angulations on all the teeth.
What is the self ligating bracket that you are most likely to hear about?
-Damon Bracket
What are the 3 factors that must be integrated for evidence based orthodontic practice?
- Relevant scientific evidence
- Clinician’s expertise
- The patient’s needs and preferences
What type of evidence is a type of literature reviews that collect and critically analyze multiple research studies or papers?
-Systematic reviews
What is a study in which people are allocated at random to receive one of several clinical interventions?
-Randomized controlled trials
What is a study that typically observe large groups of individuals recording their exposure to certain risk factors ro find clues as to the possible causes of disease?
-Cohort studies
What is a study that compares patients who have a disease or outcome of interest ith patients who do not have the disease or outcome?
-Case-control studies
What is a detailed report of the symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment and follow up of an individual patient?
-Case series/ case reports
What is a belief or judgement about something given by an expert on the subject?
-Editorials/expert opinion
What is the order of studies from best to worst?
- Systematic reviews
- Randomized controlled trials
- Cohort studies
- Case-control studies
- Case series/reports
- Editorials/expert opinions
Should you use a prophy paste containing fluoride when bonding ortho brackets and bands?
-No because it can decrease the bond strength
What are the advantages from direct bonding for placement of brackets?
Don’t have to fabricate bonding splint
- Don’t have errors in splint placement
- Can directly clean off excess adhesive before cure
What are the disadvantages from direct bonding for placement of brackets?
- Longer chair time/doctor time
- Can be difficult to place some brackets
What is indirect bonding?
–Fabrication of a splint on a model which contains the brackets
What are the pros of invisalign?
- Patient doesn’t have to wear braces
- Improved esthetics
What type of spacing and crowding is invisalign used for?
2-4 mm of crowding or spacing
