Ortho III Flashcards
2 reasons 1st Ortho check-up should be prior to 7 years old:
Posterior occlusion established (1st molars)
Incisors begun to erupt (crowding/deep bites/open bites)
AAO does not advocate comprehensive Tx at age 7
True
6 indications for Phase 1 treatments:
Anterior/Posterior Crossbites
Impacted teeth
Skeletal growth problems
Habit
Space loss (from premature tooth loss)
What type of malocclusion is more prevalent in 8-12 year olds?
Pseudo Class III
*rather than Class III
Pseudo Class III is characterized by what 4 characteristics?
Anterior crossbite
Forward functional shift of mandible
retroclined max incisors
proclined, spaced mandibular incisors
Correction of Pseudo Class III crossbite
increases max arch perimeter
decreases risk of gingival recession
decreases risk of incisal wear
True
Unilateral crossbites represents U/L ______ discrepancy
Mandible shifts to avoid ______
transverse ridge
interferences
Bilateral crossbite is a true ________
What is more common cause?
skeletal discrepancy
Mx constriction (rather than Mn enlargement)
Canine exposure technique depends on canine position
labial/mid-alveolar/palatal
apical/coronal to attached gingiva
True
4 techniques to expose Canine:
Gingivectomy
Apically positioned flap (plus bracket)
Closed eruption (tip and pin)
Open eruption (lingual/bracket)
Canine exposure technique if mid alveolus:
If Buccal:
If Lingual:
Gingivectomy or Closed eruption
Apically positioned flap
Open eruption
Lit says to treat Class II in early treatment
False
*no difference in final overjet, etc…
Lit says facemask effective for correcting anterior crossbite, improving overjet, with slight relapse - to treat Class ____
III, early Tx
Pacifiers should stop at what age?
Behavioral mods/reinforcement
at home techniques
what is last resort?
2 years
Appliances
Band and Loop
Distal Shoe
Lingual Arch (TPA/Nance/LLHA)
Partial Denture
all do what?
Maintain space from early tooth loss
Lip bumper can be used to ameliorate 3mm or less of localized space loss
True
Moderate to Severe generalized crowding, 2 options:
Expansion
Extraction
There should be no active Periodontal disease in an ortho patient
True
If a tooth needs a crown, determine stability enough to the end of ortho treatment
*bond/bracket to crown will alter finish on porcelain
True
Discuss spacing with orthodontist for restorative Tx
true
Need to check root position if implant is indicated prior to de-bonding
True
Active agent in Prevident:
Sodium fluoride 1.1%
