Ortho Flashcards
When are orthodontic examinations carried out (3 instances)
What are Andrews 6 keys of ideal occlusion?
4 types of occlusion
- ideal occlusion (unlikely)
- normal level of malocclusion (most common)
- minor deviation
- no aesthetic / functional issue
- malocclusion
- significant deviation from normal
- functional / aesthetic effect
Ortho past medical history: ortho treatment contraindications (4)
Ortho past dental history: important questions (4)
Ortho social history: Habits causing malocclusion and what type of issues these cause?
Age where digit sucking is irreversible
Ortho: What are the 3 facial skeletal aspects of the head? And what does each allow for working out?
Normal angle of vertical one
- anterio-posterior (skeletal class)
- vertical (FMPA)
- transverse (straight on / above asymmetry)
what are the 3 skeletal classes? What causes each? and how would you check this?
Ortho: extra-oral examination: soft tissue checks? (4)
Ortho: 5 stages of extra-oral examination?
- TMJ
- Facial skeletal aspects
- soft tissues
- Skeletal assessment
- compare patient to parent (growth potential / class III occlusion risk)
Ortho: 4 stages of intra-oral examination
- OH and perio health
- Palpate for canines
- Aspects of the teeth (5) - image
- the teeth in occlusion
- incisor, canine and molar relationships
- overbite, openbite/overbite, crossbite, symmetry
Ortho: 2 ways to measure space required and available in crowding?
- mesure total overlap 5-5
- measure arch mesial of 6 to opposite then also incisal edges and do a sum
Ortho: what the the incisor relationship classes
Ortho: Difference between overjet and overbite?
Ortho: canine relationship classes
Ortho: Molar relationship classes
Ortho: What are the 3 stages between examination and treatment?
What type of malocclusion does the early loss of an ‘e’ cause
crowding
What are the 3 main aims for the occlusion following orthodontic treatment?
- stable
- aesthetic
- function
what are the 2 types of aims for ortho treatment? and which treatment is done for each?
URA - only compromise treatment as only tooth tipping
What factors influence an orthodontic treatment plan?
what are the stages of an ortho treatment plan?
what are the 6 treatment options for an ortho treatment plan?
What are the two types of extraction that have to be done in response to another extraction for orthodontic treatment?
What are the 3 grades of crowding in orthodontics? And their treatment
What used to stop posterior drifting and why
3 factors that effect tx plan for orthodontic treatment
Timing
Stability post ortho
Limited movement potential
what are the 4 main aetiologies of malocclusion?
- 3 are local causes
What is the general structure of the jaws in relation to the cranial bases?
Aetiology factors for skeletal causes of malocclusion?
Is class III in ortho hereditary?
it can be, yes
Orthodontic radiographic analysis technique:
Name?
what is the patient positioned in?
what is it for analysing?
name of the analysis done?
what does the analysis do?
Cephalometry / cephalogram
cephalostat
anterio-posterior jaw relationships (skeletal class)
eastman analysis
- angles of jaws in relation to each other and cranial bases and angles of incisors
what are the interventions for ALARP for a cephalogram being taken?
As Low As Reasonably Possible
in cephalometry for orthodontics, what is eastman analysis measuring?
SNP jk
vertical dimension orthodontic view:
what are the two measurements?
how are both of them measured?
Ortho skeletal analysis: transverse view
what can be analysed in this view?
what are the two types of issue there can be here?
What happens in each?
Ortho: what are the main causes of malocclusion caused by the teeth themselves?
No. of teeth
- supernumary
- hypodontia
- retained primary
- early primary loss
- permanent loss
size/shape
- microdontia
- Macrodontia
- abnormal form
positioning
- ectopic
- transposition
what are the 4 types of supernumerary teeth
- Supplemental
- odontome
- conical
- tuberculate
