Malocclusion Flashcards
Any alteration in the bone growth of the maxilar, and/or mandible and in the dental positions that impede the correct function of the chewing system with the subsequent consequences that this dysfunction has on the teeth themselves the gums and the bones that support them the temporomandibular joint and facial aesthetics
Malocclusion
General factors
Hereditary
congenital defects
oral habits
tongue e trusting
thumb sucking
Lip chewing
Onicophagia
trauma and accidents
Local factors
Anomalies in the number of teeth
missing teeth: agenesis
Suprenumerary teeth
anomalies in tooth size
anomalies in dental shape
premature loss of deciduous teeth
Prolonged retention of deciduous teeth
cavities
inadequate dental restoration
Angle
Class 1
2
3
Angle class 1
Normal
When the mesiobuccal cuspid of the first permanent upper molar occludes in the bucal groove of the first permanent lower molar
Angle class 2
when the mesiobuccal cuspid of the first permanent upper molar occludes in front of the buccal groove of the first permanent lower molar
Angle class 3
Mesiobuccal cusp of the first permanent upper molar occludes behind the buccal groove of the first lower permanent molar
Is the anteroposterior relationship between the upper and lower permanent canines
Canine classification
Class 1 canine
The cusp of the upper canine occludes between the canine embrasure and the lower first premolar
Área occupied by the dental papilla
Tronera
Embrasure
Class 2 canine
the cusp of the upper canine occludes in front the embrasure of the canine and the lower first premolar
Class 3 canine
the cusp of the upper canine occludes behind the embrasure of the canine and the lower first premolar
What is more important to correct? Malocclusion in canines or molars?
Canines
Anomalies in the number of teeth
- agenesis
- hypodontia
- anodontia
- supernumerary teeth
- supplementary teeth
- conical teeth
- mesiodens
- hyperdontia
Agenesis
the absence of teeth can be seen in both arches
the absence is usually bilateral
agenesis is more common in permanent teeth
Two classifications of agenesis
Hypodontia
Anodontia
absence of formation of three or more DO
most common:
third molar
upper lateral incisors
second premolars
is one of the fundamental concerns of pediatric dentists and orthodontics due to the occlusal problems it generates causing functional and aesthetic problems over time
Hypodontia
disorder in which there are no temporary or permanent teeth because of the congenital absence of tooth germs
this alteration is classified according to the number of missing teeth and can be partial or total
Anodontia
Supernumerary teeth
a tooth that appears in addition to the regular number of teeth
they appear more frequently in the maxila
WHEN the affected region is located in the midline of the palate between the two upper central incisors it is called mesiodens
hereditary seems to play a more significant role in cases of missing teeth and also in supernumerary teeth
Tree types of supernumerary teeth
- supplementary teeth
- conical teeth
- mesiodens
it has normal morphology and size
in permanent teeth as extra upper lateral incisor or as lower incisor
always erupted
Supplementary teeth
Extra teeth presented as a conical crown and smaller root than a normal tooth
Conical teeth
Extra tooth located in the premaxilla near the midline between the upper central incisors
it can also appears between lower CI
Mesiodens
Hyperdontia
having more than the regular number of teeth
due to the hyperactivity of the dental lamina with the consequent formation of additional tooth germs
Anomalies in tooth size
is genetically determined
MEN tend to have more square dimensions and WOMEN show a greater reduction in Bucio-lingual size than in mesio-distal size
in relation to tooth size it is observed that MENs teeth are larger than WOMENs
- microdontia (true generalized, relative generalized, localized)
- macrodontia (true generalized, relative generalized, localized)
Teeth smaller than the limits of variation considered normal
