Midterm Flashcards
What are the most commonly impacted teeth?
Maxillary Canines, which are second only to 3rd molars
Canine impaction due to genetic factors
Palatal Impaction
What % of people with canine impactions have bilateral canine impactions?
8%
What % of people have canine impactions? And how is it most common in?
2%
Is twice as common in females than it is im males
In what % of cases in the canine corwn distale to the midline of the lateral incisor?
91%
In what % of cases in the canine crown mesial to the midline of the lateral incisor?
64%
If the canine crown is mesial to the midline of the lateral incisor,
64% chance of proper eruption
What is Leeway space?
The space occupied by the primary canines and molars is greater than that required for the corresponding permanent teeth, the canine, and the two premolars. The size difference of the primary and the permanent teeth is referred to as the LEEWAY SPACE.
3mm in the Maxilla
5mm in the Mandible
What do you do if the patient has mesiodens?
Tx generally consists of extraction of the teeth when possible,
especially if it is resorbing the adjacent teeth
What do you do if a patient loses their primary incisors and one canine?
Extract the other canine
What % of the population are supernumary teeth are present in primary dentition?
0.8%
What % of the population are supernumary teeth are present in permanent dentition?
2.1%
What is required for serial extraction?
Multiple appointments
What are the necessary components to perform serial extraction?
1.) Class 1 Occlusion (posteriorly)
2.) Severe Crowding (>10mm)
3.) Normal bite or minimal overbite relationship
4.) No missing teeth
What is serial extraction?
Serial extraction is a clinical procedure that involves the timed sequence of extractions of certain primary and permanent teeth in mixed dentition to provide ideal occlusion and arch cohesiveness.
What is the order for serial extraction?
Primary canines -then-> primary first molars when 1/2 to 2/3 of the first premolar root is formed -then->first premolars so the permanent canines erupt in the remaining extraction space
1.) Primary canines are extracted first to provide space for the alignment of the incisors
2.) The primary first molars are extracted when 1/2 to 2/3 of the first premolar root is formed, to speed the eruption of the first premolars
3.)When the first premolars have erupted they are extracted and the canines erupt into the remaining extraction space
4.)The residual space is closed by drifting and tipping of the posterior teeth unless full appliance therapy is implemented.
Majority of space is taken out by permanent canines
Posterior segments move forward
Ideal Occlusion is still not confirmed, but crowding is no longer present. May still need
aligning devices (aka braces)
8 year old patient presents with no spacing - a diastema? What do you do?
Just watch it
because if pt is <11 years old, watch to see if canine eruption closes the diastema
T of F : Not all over-retained primary teeth are ankylosed
True
What kind of noise do ankylosed teeth give out?
A sharp solid sound on a percussion test in comparison to a cushion sound heard inthe normal teeth
What is distal shoe?
a fixed space retainer
which is a Band or Crown cemented on the first primary molar and has a distal extension up to the mesial of the first permanent molar.
The DISTAL SHOE extends to the molar and rests inside gum tissue to prevent mesial movement
An overall ratio greater than 77.2% for Bolton analysis indicates?
Indicates mandibular tooth excess because it’s Mand/Max
so over 77.2% means your numerator is bigger so Incr. in Mand measurement
