Q

What are the primate spaces and where are they?

A

Primate space earlier than leeway space.
Upper arch anterior to primary canines.
Lower arch, distal to primary canines.

They give a class 1 canine relationship in the deciduous dentition and prevent overcrowding in the adult dentition.

Q

What would you expect to see when a pt has a digit sucking habit?

A

Open bite
Proclined upper incisors
Retroclined lower incisors
Possible asymmetry
Centre-line discrepancy
Unilateral crossbite with displacement.

(tongue will naturally sit lower in thumb-sucking whereas normally tongue will sit in palate creating space for upper arch.

Cheeks will have a negative pressure and push inwards creating a narrow upper arch, unilateral cross bite with displacement.

Physiological - ugly duckling stage.
Ethnic/familial
Digit habit - thumb sucking
High labial frenum
Peg laterals
Supernumeraries e.g. mesiodens
Missing teeth (hypodontia_ i.e. laterals
Spaced teeth
Microdontia
Midline pathology

58
Q

What are the causes of AOB?

A

Digit habit
Long lower vertical face height
MMA angle >32
Tongue thrust - downs syndrome

59
Q

What is mandibular displacement?

A

When there is significant movement of >1mm from the first initial contact in RCP to final position in ICP.

60
Q

What are the main causes for Class 2 div 1 incisor relationship?

A

Skeletal class - small mandible
Soft tissue factors - incompetent lips, lower lip is low, digit sucking?

61
Q

What are the essential features of a class 2 div 1 incisor relationship?

A

EO often incompetent lips, often lower lip is low.
Upper incisors are proclined. Lower incisors lie posterior to cingulum plateau.
Often skeletal class 2 base - can be sever (orthognathic tx)
Vertical and lateral relationship often normal. i.e. Av FMA, no asymmetries.
Maxilla is often large ane the mandible is often small?
Increased risk of trauma! if OJ of >9mm - 44%!

62
Q

What are indications for treating Class 2 div 1 incisor relationship?

A

If OJ is large - trauma likely so indicated tx to decrease trauma risk
Reduce OB
Aesthetics (don’t like teeth sticking out)
Improve function

63
Q

When would you use an upper removable appliance alone?

A

When there is an OJ of less than 8mm and the upper labial segment is proclined!
Often extract upper 4s and fit URA

64
Q

When would a functional appliance be used in the treatment of a class 2 div 1 incisor relationship?

A

If there was an OJ of more than 8mm.
Well aligned arches. Crowding! Class 2 molar relationship (FA would bring the lower molars forward!)
When still growing i.e. during the growth spurt (10-12 g, 12-14 b)

65
Q

What are the main indications for fixed appliance?

A

Want to have torque control of the upper incisors, needed to prevent incisor retroclination
Multiple tooth movement
Bodily movement
Rotation correction
Space closure
Arch coordination (ie.e irregular arch alignment)

66
Q

How does orthognathic surgery worth for severe class 2 relationship?

A

Tooth movement alone cannot achieve aims.
Would need to do a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy to advance the mandible.

67
Q

What are treatment options for class 2 div 2 cases?

A

Accept the incisor relationship is class 2 div 2, not severe and not traumatising OB. Pt understands the limited tx objective (maybe just align laterals?)

Correct the incisors to Class 1. And correct OB (easier in growing child)

Change the inter-incisal angle to 135 (so its stable)

Headgear than fixed?
or XLA then fixed?
Or functional then fixed?

68
Q

What is the main aetiological factor in class III?

A

Sk class 3 (i.e. mandible prognathic, maxilla retrognathic or both)

Facial growth factors, soft tissue factors, occlusal factors.

69
Q

What features are favourable for treatment of class III?

A

A forwards mandibular displacement is favourable but must be treated early. AS can damage the teeth/periodontium.

Mild class 3 skeletal relationship or class 1

Little or no dentoalveolar compensation

Small or increased OB (i.e. better than AOB)?

70
Q

Why do class 3 patients often have posterior cross bites?

A

Due to large mandible vs small maxilla (i.e. the skeletal class means that broad parts of the lower meet with narrow parts of the maxilla).

71
Q

What % of patients have impacted canines?

A

2-3%??

72
Q

What other dental features warn you of an increased chance of ectopic canines?

A
  • Not palpable at aged 10 in the buccal sulcus
  • Cs are not mobile
  • One 3 has erupted >6 months before
  • Missing lateral incisor
  • Peg shaped lateral incisors
73
Q

What should you do if you can’t palpate the canines buccally by age 10?

A

Radiographs - parallax and refer

74
Q

What interceptive measures are available for ectopic canines and when are they indicated?

A
  • Do nothing and review in 3 3 to 6 months?
  • Extract Cs and wait?
  • Extract Cs and Open exposure 3
  • Extract Cs and closed exposure - attach chain to fixed appliance?
  • Expose and align (leave to erupt for 8-12 weeks, traction, fit URA/fixed appliance) - ???
  • Create space and replace with implants, bridge?
  • Extract, unfavourable position, crowded, poor prognosis, resorption risk.
  • Transplant - rarely done. Poor long-term prognosis. Would leave space and transplanted tooth may ankylose.
75
Q

What factors should be taken into account when deciding whether or not to expose and align an impacted canine?

A

Is it in a favourable position
Is the patient motivated
Is there enough space for it for come down?
Traction etc . 8-12 weeks for canine to come down.

76
Q

Why are teeth removed in orthodontics?

A

Due to crowding
To help alter a malocclusion (ie correct incisor OJ)
For anchorage (to create resistance to unwanted orthodontic tooth movement).

77
Q

What main factors that influence the choice of teeth to be extracted?

A
  • Its dental health
  • Stability - don’t want to alter lower incisor AP position?
  • Amount of space needed and where (i.e. anteriorly 4s over 5s?)
  • Aesthetics - don’t want to take out anterior teeth
78
Q

What are the sequence of steps for planning extractions?

A
  • Plan the lower first
    –> crowding? where? assess the tie breaker factors to decide each category of crowing - i.e. canine angulation, lip prominence (do we do XLAs?), initial incisor inclination)
  • then the upper arch, usually needs same if not more room
79
Q

what is a functional appliance?
how can they be classified?
how does it work?

A

An appliance that utilises forces generated by stretching the muscles and soft tissues to produce tooth movements.

Myodynamic (MoM) stretched creating forces on teeth for movement? i.e. stimulate MoM to get forces, posture mandible) and Myotonic (soft tissues elastic recoil - forces teeth to move?)

Dentoalveolar affects = main - tip teeth and move molars and decrease OB
- skeletal effects during growth! + mm mandible -1mm maxilla
- Soft tissues

80
Q

What age should functional appliances be used?

A

During puberty growth spurt - so around 11-13 (10-12g, 12-14b)

81
Q

What malocclusion can be used to treat using functional appliances?

A

Class 2 div 1. could do Class 2 div 2 if make it to div 1 first.
Maybe for class 3

82
Q

What are examples of functional appliances?

A

The clark twin block, bionator, frankl, harvold.

Fixed functions: herbst, MARA, dynamax, advansync.

83
Q

How can tx be monitored using functional appliances?

A

Review that they are wearing it - i.e. wear marks. Easy in and out. Good speech. Come in wearing it. Mild gingivitis.

There should be a 1mm OJ reduction per month.

Has the molar relationship improved.

Check that you don’t need to reactivate.

Lateral open bites may appear.

84
Q

Will be problem bet better as is grown? (Class II? Class III?)

A

Class II - yes
Class III - no - worse.

85
Q

How you manipulate jaw growth?

A

By around 1mm with function? Mandible not amenable to growth modification though.

Can slightly restrain maxilla growth with headgear!

86
Q

What is orthodontic anchorage?

A

The resistance prevents unwanted reciprocal tooth movements.

87
Q

What are the difference sources of orthodontic anchorage?

A

Teeth in same arch
Teeth in opposing arch (intermaxillary)
Oral mucosa - palate
EO anchorage - headgear
Implants or TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices)

88
Q

What is excessive loss of anchorage?

A

Unwanted movement of the anchor teeth during tx to an extent which prevent desired tooth movements being achieved.

e.g. take out a premolar - and anterior and posterior both move into the space - meaning still got an overjet as posterior teeth took half the space.

89
Q

how do we conserve anchorage?

A

use small forces.
planning
Make sure the anchors have a larger tooth root SA?
Use headgear?

90
Q

What is the spring of choice for retracting a canine?

A

Palatal retractor.
0.5 size wire

91
Q

What size wire is a labial bow?

A

0.8mm

92
Q

Why do we use an anterior biteplane?

A

When we want the posterior teeth to grow together i.e. to reduce an OB anteriorly.

93
Q

What do we use a posterior biteplane?

A

When we want the anterior teeth to grow together. I.e. to reduce an AOB.

94
Q

How often do we ask the patient to turn a screw?

A

Once a week (0.25mm activation?)

95
Q

What do we tell a patient when we fit a removable appliance?
