ortho 2 Flashcards
3 phases of tooth eruption
pre eruptive
eruption - intra-osseous and extra-osseous
post eruption
what are the fibres formed at the periphery of the eruption pathway, that guide the tooth into the oral cavity called
gubernacular cord
describe the intra-osseous eruptive phase
root formation - proliferation of epithelial root sheath then dentine and pulp formation
movement of developing tooth occlusally or incisally - slow, several months
formation of gubernacular cord - links tooth follicle to gingiva
reduced enamel epithelium rises with oral epithelium to form junctional epithelium
describe the extra-osseous eruption phase
penetration of crown tip ruptures epithelium - fast, 1-2 weeks
formation of attached gingivae
crown moves through mucosa until contacts opposing tooth - slow, several months
environmental factors determine final position (forces from cheeks, lips, tongue)
describe the post eruptive phase of eruption
movement after tooth reaches occlusal plane
- response to growing alveolar bone and jaws
- response to attrition and abrasion - compensating for wear
- tooth wear of proximal surface leads to mesial drift
- over eruption due to loss of opposing teeth
give a cause of mesial drift
tooth wear of proximal surface
3 roles of the dental follicle
initiate resorption of overlying bone
creates eruption pathway via connective tissue degradation
promotes alveolar bone growth
what is interceptive ortho
any procedure that will reduce or eliminate developing malocclusion
when is the correct time to extract deciduous tooth to encourage permanent teeth to erupt
one half to two thirds root development of permanent tooth
what age can you treat ectopic upper permanent canines by extracting the cs
10-13
where in relation to the primary incisors to permanent incisors develop
palatal/lingual
Additional space is required to accommodate the larger anterior teeth of the permanent dentition, how is this space gained
lateral growth of jaws increases inter canine width
upper incisors erupt more proclined
lee way space
what is the leeway space in upper arch
1-1.5mm
what is the leeway space in lower arch
2-2.5mm
how to calculate leeway space
primary c d e - permanent 3 4 5 = leeway space
when does a diastema usually close
by 12 when the 3s have erupted
management options of ectopic 6 stuck beneath e
if <7 years wait 6 months and review
orthodontic separator
distalise 1st molar
extract E
file down distal of E
causes of unerupted central incisors
trauma to primary tooth causing dilaceration of permanent
supernumeraries
management of unerupted central incisors
remove primary teeth and supernumeraries
maintain/create space
monitor for 12 months if less than 9
if 9+ or still not erupted, expose and ortho traction
impact of early loss of deciduous teeth
localised crowding
what factors influence the effect of crowding after early loss of deciduous tooth
crowding already present
age
which arch
which tooth
reason for balancing extraction
maintain position of centre line
reason for compensating extraction
maintain buccal occlusion
loss of which deciduous tooth requires balancing extraction
C
why should you consider a space maintainer after early loss of an E
major space loss of don’t - 6 will drift mesially
more so in upper than lower
design a passive URA that will maintain space
Adams clasp 0.7mm HSSW on UL6 and UR6
southend clasp 0.7mm HSSW
baseplate with acrylic serenaded around teeth to prevent mesial drift
+/- mesial stop 0.6mm HSSW on individual tooth
example of a fixed space maintainer
band and loop
when is the most ideal result gained when extracting 6s of poor prognosis
7s bifurcation is calcifying
8s are present
moderate crowding
class 1
4 rules for extracting 6s
if extracting lower, take upper - compensate
don’t need to compensate an upper 6 extraction
don’t balance with a sound tooth
don’t balance if well aligned or spaced
What do we tell the patient when we fit a removable appliance ?
Wear Full-time
Keep teeth and appliance clean - 2x daily minimum and every time after eating. (Can be worn for eating but remove for tooth brushing.)
Use a daily fluoride mouthwash
Avoid sugary food and drinks especially carbonated drinks
Avoid hard, sticky foods
May want to remove for some sports
initially speech will be affected
excess saliva
eating might feel awkward
teeth being moved might be painful.
Advise whom to Contact if patient has any problems
describe an URA design suitable for crossbite correction
hyrax screw or coffin spring
post bite plane
Adams class 0.7mm HSSW on 4s and 6s
over correct
URA design for anterior cross bite
z spring for tooth behind Lower incisors 0.5mm HSSW
Adams clasps 0.7mm HSSW on 4s and 6s
posterior bite plane
management of digit habit
bitter nail polish
positive reinforcement
glove on hand
habit breaker appliance - deterrents such as goal posts
how to know if pt is wearing appliance
did they wear into surgery
ask them
still excess salivation or speech affected
are active components now passive
signs of wear on appliance, palate and gingiva
what should you check for when assessing ant.cross bite
gingival recession
mobility of lower incisor
tooth wear
displacement
what is the aetiology of an infra occluded tooth
ankylosis of primary tooth
surrounding alveolar bone continues to grow
primary tooth left behind
how do you diagnose infra-occluding teeth
percussion
check for mobility
radiographs
when radiographically assessing an infra occluded tooth, give 3 things to check for
ankylosis of tooth - no PDL space
presence or absence of successor
root resorption
treatment of infra-occluded tooth below contact point
extract and maintain space
Please provide an URA to maintain space UL5
Adams clasps UR6 and UL6 (0.7mm HSSW) Southend clasp UR1,UL1 (0.7mm HSSW)
extend baseplate distal to UL4 OR Consider wire stop
where does development of canines begin
high and palatal
when do you start palpating and assessing position of upper canines
9 - should be palpable by 11
what effect do ectopic upper canines have on lateral incisors
root resorption
what circumstances is extraction of c most successful - 3
pt between 10 and 13
canine distal to midline of upper lateral incisor
sufficient space is available
risks of doing nothing with ectopic maxillary canines
becomes more ectopic
root resorption of adjacent teeth
failure to erupt
ortho interceptive treatment options for class 3
maxillary protraction head gear +/- RME (rapid maxillary expansion)
reverse twin block
why treat OJ early
trauma risk
appearance - bullying
more difficult when pt stops growing
when is anterior cross bite treated by ortognathic surgery and when is it treated with orthodontics
orthognathic - skeletal cause
orthodontics - dental cause
objective of ortho
to produce an occlusion that is stable, functional and aesthetic
what is compromise treatment
correct certain aspects and accept others e.g. accept buccal cross bite with no displacement
which arch is ortho treatment planned around
plan around lower arch and decide lower treatment
then build upper arch around lower
when examining a pt upper and lower arches for orthodontic assessment what do you check for
crowding
angulation of incisors
angulation of canines
centrelines
when orthodontically assessing teeth in ICP, what do you assess
incisor relationship
canine and molar relationship
OJ
OB
centrelines
how do you measure space available and space required when assessing crowding
space available = measure arch length anterior to first permanent molar
space required = measure every tooth width anterior to first permanent molar and add together
for what degree of crowding in lower arch do you extract 5s
mild to moderate
0-4mm
5-8mm
if taking lower extract upper
for what degree of crowding in lower arch do you extract 4s
moderate to severe crowding
5-8mm
8+mm
if taking lower extract upper
what incisor and canine relationship is the aim of ortho
class 1
what molar relationship is the aim in ortho
class 1 OR full unit class 2
limitations of ortho
prone to relapse if forces are not balanced between occlusion, periodontal structures and soft tissues
movement limited by shape and size of alveolar process
effects are purely dento alveolar and tooth movement - little skeletal effect
when are functional appliances and overbite reduction most successful
if used during adolescent growth spurt
