  • Condyles
  • Bone support levels
  • Pathology – cysts, supernumeraries, tumours,
  • periapical radiolucent areas
30
Q

advantages and disadvantages of OPG

A
  • Advantages:
    • Shows all the teeth
    • Shows complete view of both jaws
    • Objects closer or further away from beam will be magnified/diminished helping to localise position
  • Disadvantages:
    • Poor quality especially in midline
    • Narrow focal trough – we do not always see the true picture
    • Often require supplemental view to confirm details
31
Q

Function of a space maintainer

A
  • Maintain arch length and width preservation of leeway space
  • Prevent over eruption
  • Aesthetics
  • Aid in the management if oral habits – digit sucking
  • IDEAL: simple, passive, strong, cleansable
32
Q

Types of space maintainer

Infraocclusion

A
  • Fails to erupt fully
  • 8-14% in 6-11
  • Trauma, absence of successor, ankylosis
  • Mid, moderate, severe
36

  • Only dental factors
  • No account for growth potential
  • Not an index of treatment complexity
  • Incentive to patient concerns/ demands
40
Q

Extractions of first permanent molars

A
  • Erupts 6-7, complete root at 9-10
  • Problems: localised space, over eruption and tipping of adjacent
  • Slightly crowded would have the best effect

  • Class 1: 67%
  • Class 2 div 1: 15%
  • Class 2 div 2 10%
  • Class 3: 3%
42

Canine extraction considerations

A
  • Try avoid as cornerstone and involved in canine guidance
  • Can mask premolar if good contact, rotation through fixed appliance
43
Q

What is the class 1 malocclusion

A
  • Maybe be increased VD or dental problem
  • Dentoalveolar disproportion: distalisation of molar using headgear, TADS, interproximal reduction, lee way space, extraction s
  • Hypodontia: accept, camouflage, space closure or opening
  • Supernumerary: extraction
  • Variation in tooth size: macro/micro (composite build up) dens in dente, dilaceration
44
Q

What is class 2 div 1 malocclusion

A
  • Skeletal: mandibular retrognathia (80%), maxillary hyperplasia, vertical any
  • Environmental: digit sucking,
  • Dental: crowding
  • Soft tissue: lower lip trap, lip incompetence
  • Trauma incidence 5mm 22%, under 9mm 24%, 44% over 9mm
  • Accept: mouthguard for trauma
  • Growth modification: growing, mild to moderate, twin block (70% dental, 30% skeletal)
  • Head gear: catch up growth of mandible, difficult compliance
  • Camouflage: upper 4, lower 5s
  • Orthognathic: growth complete, severe, decompensation before (appliances throughout the procedure)
45
Q

Digit sucking habit effects

A
  • Proclination of uppers and retroclination of lowers
  • Increased overjet
  • AOB
  • Narrow upper arch, unilateral posterior cross bite
46
Q

Tell me about class 2 div 2

A
  • Skeletal: 2 or 1, Vertical reduced, progenia
  • Soft tissue: strap lip, high lip line
  • Soft tissue will have obtuse Nasio labial angle
  • Dental: retroclination of uppers (2s might escape), increased IIA, traumatic overbite, crowding increased by retrocline uppers
  • Accept: mouth guard for trauma
  • Growth modification: convert to class 2 div 1 by Proclination of uppers (ura:ELSAA with T/Z spring and anterior bite block to allow over eruption of posterior teeth, twin block with procline spring, sectional fixed appliance)
  • Camouflage: mild/moderate, upper 4s lower 5s, IIA must be corrected or relapse
  • Orthognathic: same as class 2 div 1
  • Usually required long term retention due to relapse
47
Q

Tell me about class 3

A
  • Genetic: cleft lip (maxilla less growth)
  • Skeletal: maxillary hypoplasia, mandibular prognathism, vertical (can be any)
  • Soft tissue: macroglossia (tongue pushes lls), not a big effect
  • Skeletal pattern 3 (55% maxillary problem) or 1
  • Soft tissue factors: increased sclera show, paranasal hollowing, obtuse NLA
  • Dental factors: reduced overbite or anterior open bite, more crowding in upper dentition, microdontia/hypodontia causing narrow upper arch
  • Masticatory problems, speech problems
  • Accept: patient not concerned, OHI, acceptable aesthetics
  • Early Interceptive treatment (pre 10): URA, good overbite, able to go edge to edge, bone loss trauma
  • Growth medication (intermediate): headgear, rapid maxillary expansion, reverse twin block , not guaranteed treatment
  • Camouflage: mild to moderate, edge to edge, good overbite
  • Orthognathic surgery:
48
Q

Tell me about ARAB

A
  • Active component – t spring
  • Retention – Adam’s clasps and c clasps
  • Anchorage – baseplate and Adams
  • Baseplate – cold cure acrylic – bite block incorporated
49
Q

Fixed appliance

A
50
Q

Problems associated with fixed appliances

A
  • Demineralisation: poor OHI and diet , plaque score below 20% before treatment, can remove arch wire, plaque retentive factors
  • Gingivitis and periodontal disease
  • Root resorption: majority - minor around 1mm, 5% cases 5mm loss, Risks (history of trauma, treatment duration, apical movement, genetic)
  • Pulpitis: transient in majority of patients, caution treating trauma teeth
  • Soft tissue ulcers: brackets can use wax, no sharp ends of wire
  • Inhalation: chest x ray
51
Q

Maxillary incisors and impaction

A
  • 7-8 central eruption (root formation completes around 11)
  • On eruption there is midline diastema
  • 0.13% in 5-12year olds: impacted maxillary central incisors
  • Concerns: contra lateral over 6 months, lower incisors over 1 year (uppers unerupted), lateral erupt before central
  • Radiograph: parallax with upper standard occlusal or CBCT
52
Q

Reasons for maxillary central incisor impaction

A
  • Early loss of primary centrals
  • Trauma: e.g. scar tissue preventing eruption
  • Macrodont: fusion of 2 teeth into one , not enough space
  • Supernumerary tooth: tuberculate most common impaction causer
  • Dilaceration: distortion or bend in the root of a tooth: idk how this affects
  • Ankylosis: following trauma, fixed appliance on ankylosed tooth will not move
  • Other: cysts, cleft lip
53
Q

Treatment for unerupted central

A
  • Remove obstruction
  • Maintain space (URA)
  • Monitor for 12months – 80% erupt
  • Expose and bond if unerupted (closed if high, open if superficial)
  • Over 10: straight to expose and bond
54
Q

Maxillary canines and impaction

A
  • F:M > 2:1
  • 2% (85% palatal, 15% buccal), absent is 0.08%
  • Corner stone of arch, canine guidance, erupts distally along the 2, long route of eruption, palpable at 9, late is 12-13
  • Small lateral, missing laterals (increases incidence to 5%)
55
Q

Radiograph and maxillary canine

A
  • Prior to 10 little benefit, above 11 where 3s aren’t palpable
  • Cbct or parallax (pa, USO)
56
Q

Management of 3s

A
  • Interceptive: extract c, need space for 3
  • Surgical expose and bond: extract premolar if need space, closed and open technique
  • Surgical repositioning (ankylosis risk), surgical removal
57
Q

Prognosis of canine

A
58
Q

Risks of aligning impacted canines

A
  • Root resorption to adjacent teeth
  • Loss of vitality
  • Poor tissue contour at completion of treatment
  • Increased pocket depths
  • Canine root resorption
  • Ankylosis
59
Q

Define impaction

A
  • Tooth that is prevented from erupting into its normal functional position by bone, tooth, fibrous tissue.
60
Q

Functional appliances

A
  • Use forces generated by the oral facial musculature to produce dental and skeletal changes. Force generated by stretching the facial muscles in a postured position
61
Q

Considerations for class III treatment

A

-Ability to achieve edge to edge occlusion
-Ability to retain occlusion with a positive overbite
-Extent of displacement
-Extent of dento-alveolar decompensation
-Age of patient
-Cause of malocclusion (maxillary growth stops before mandibular growth)
-Is patient happy with facial profile
