Ortho Flashcards
Syndrome vs Sequence
Syndrome:
* pattern of annomolies
* that occur together in a predictable fashion
* due to single etiology (genetic)
* Like a recipe from a cookbook
Sequence:
* Group of related anomalies
* Stem from a major anamoly
* alters the development of surrounding structures
* like a row of dominos
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: Cause
Exposed to high levels of ethanol
* Teratogen=alcohol
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: S/S
CNS problems: Neural Plate Tissue Deficiency
* abnormal brain development
* microcephaly (small head)
Midface deficiency:
* smooth philtrum
* thin upper lip
* small parpebral fissures
Treacher Collins Syndrome: Cause
Genetic Mutation:
Altered development of neural crest cells
Treacher Collins Syndrome: S/S
underdevelopmed mandible
Downslanted palpebral fissures
Celft palate (35%)
Microtia (Small ear)
Hemifacial Microsomia: Cause
Loss of neural crest cells during migration
Hemifacial Microsomia: S/S
Deficient Ear & Mandibular Ramus
* On affected side
Down syndrome: Cause
Nondisjuction leading to extra chromosome 21
Down syndrome: S/S
Midface deficiency
Upslanted palpebral fissures
No Increased caries risk
Increased perio risk
Cleft Lip & Palate
Class 3 w/deficient maxilla
Cleft Lip:
* week 4-6 in utero
* No fusion b/w Medial Nasal Prominence and Maxillay Process Anteriorly
* Usually off midline and unilateral
Cleft Palate:
* week 6-8 in utero
* No fusion b/w Medial Nasal Prominence and Maxillary Process posteriorly
* Primary Palate: caries lateral incisor to lateral incisor. why they are missing lateral incisors
* Complete Cleft Palate: Primary and Secondary palate both do not fuse
Pierre Robin Sequence
Mary Gray Cunningham BF is Difficult
- Micrognathia (small mandible)
- Glossoptosis:
- Cleft Palate
- Breathing & Feeding Difficulties
Crouzon Syndrome: S/S
Craniosynostosis: early closure of skull sutures
(Brady’s Hyper Front Boss has Prop Class @ 3)
Brachycephalic (short skull)
Midface deficiency
Frontal Bossing (Prominent forehead)
Hypertelorism (wide separated eyes)
Proptosis (Bulging eyes)
Class 3 occlusion
Alpert Syndrome: S/S
Craniosynostosis:
Acrocephalic: Tall Skull
Byzantine Arch: (narrow palate w/high vault)
Syndactyly (Fused fingers and toes)
Hurler & Hunters Syndrome
Build up of Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)
* Due to enzyme deficiency
HURL.. vomitting.. GAG
Gum Pad Stage
Birth to 6 months
End=eruption of 1st primary tooth
- lateral Sulcus: separates primary K9 from primary 1st molar
Primary Dentition Stage
6 months to 6 y.o.
Minimal OB & OJ
Interdental Spacing
Space b/w primary incisors
normal Space
* permanent incisors filll gaps
* w/o=crowding
Primate Spacing
Max: B/w primary lateral & K9
Mand: B/w Primary K9 & 1st molar
Leeway Spacing
Difference of combined MD width b/w:
* primary K9/1st molar/2nd molar
* permanent K9/1st premolar/2nd premolar
Gains us space:
* permanent premolars are smaller than primary molars they replace
Max: 1.5 mm per side (3mm total)
Mand: 2.5 mm per side (5 mm total)
Primary Molar Relationships
Relationship b/w:
* Mandibular Terminal Plane
* Maxillary Terminal Plane
Mixed Dentition Stage
6 yrs to 12 yrs
end=exfoliation of last primary tooth
* interdental, primate, and leeway spaces all close
Ugly Duckling Stage
11-12 yrs old
Hallmark: diastema b/w 8 &9, </= 2mm
* closed w/max K9 eruption
If > 2mm: will not close fully
Anterior Transition:
permanent tooth buds are lingual and apical to primary counterparts
Incisors erupt lingually
* Except Upper Central & K9s erupt labially
Posterior Transition
Flush terminal plane–> class 1 by differential teeth shift and differential jaw growth
Early Mesial Shift= 1st molars -> close primate space (around 6 y.o.)
Late Mesial Shift=2nd molars ->close leeway space (around 12 y.o.)
Late mandibular growth
Mixed Dentition space analysis
compares Space available and space required for incoming permanent teeth
requires all 4 lower incisors erupted
Objective: Predict MD width of unerupted B segment (k9/1st and 2nd premolar)
Ideal OB and OJ
OB: 10-20%
OJ: 1-3 mm
Late Lower Incisor Crowding
Anterior crowding gets worse in 20’s and 40s
* Due to late mandibular growth
Results in:
* Added pressure on lower incisors
inter canine Width
Increase as permanent teeth erupt
Intermolar width
Increases as molars erupt then stabilizes
More expansion in max vs mandibular bc:
* Upper erupt divergently and lower erupt convergently
