25
At birth, the face and jaws are _______________ compared to the adult
underdeveloped
26
Formed by intramembranous ossification (no cartilage precursor!)
Cranial vault Nasomaxillary complex
27
Formed by endochondral ossification (starts as cartilage!)
Cranial base
28
What is the major mechanism for growth of the cranial vault?
Apposition of new bone at sutures
29
What growth curve does the cranial vault follow?
Neural
30
As ossification of the cranial base proceeds, bands of cartilage called _____________ remain btwn the centers of ossification
synchondroses
31
In the cranial base, where does growth occur? What is the cartilage eventually replaced by?
Growth occurs at synchondroses in both directions Cartilage is replaced by bone
32
Growth of the nasomaxillary complex occurs by apposition of bone at the sutures connecting the ___________ to the cranium and cranial base, and __________ remodeling
maxilla; surface
33
What direction does the maxilla grow?
Downward + forward
34
Why does the midpalatal suture fuse early?
Transverse growth is completed 1st
35
Apposition of bone in the maxillary molar area accounts for space for which teeth?
Maxillary 3rd molars
36
As the maxilla grows downward + forward, its anterior surface tends to resorb through ______________, except for which part?
remodeling; except for small area around anterior nasal spine
37
Remodeling of the palatal vault moves it in the same direction as it is being translated. Bone is removed from the floor of the ________ and added to the roof of the _________
nose; mouth
38
As the palatal vault moves downward, bone remodeling also _________ it
widens
39
Which direction is the mandible translated? How does it grow?
Translated downward + forward Grows upward + backward
40
What are the 3 principle sites of growth for the mandible?
Posterior surface of ramus Condylar process Coronoid process
41
As the mandible grows in length, the ramus is extensively remodeled. What happens to the anterior and posterior surface of the mandible?
Anterior surface = resorption Posterior surface = apposition of new bone
42
What age do centrals erupt?
Upper: 7 Lower: 6
43
What age do laterals erupt?
Upper: 8 Lower: 7
44
What age do canines erupt?
Upper: 12 Lower: 11
45
What age do 1st premolars erupt?
Upper and lower: 11
46
What age do 2nd premolars erupt?
Upper and lower: 12
47
What age do 1st molars erupt?
Upper and lower: 6
48
What age do 2nd molars erupt?
Upper and lower: 12
49
Caused by maxillary protrusion or mandibular retrusion, or a combo of both
Class II
50
Caused by maxillary retrusion or mandibular protrusion, or a combo of both
Class III
51
What part of class II tx planning? Done early to prevent maxillary growth/allow mandible to catch up
Headgear
52
What part of class II tx planning? Attempt during late mixed/early permanent dentition and during adolescent growth spurt
Growth modification
53
What part of class II tx planning? Ext during permanent dentition to hid mild/moderate skeletal problem
Camouflage
54
What part of class II tx planning? Done after all growth is complete
Surgery
55
What part of class III tx planning? Protraction facemask (reverse pull headgear) done early before sutures fuse
Growth modification
56
What part of class III tx planning? Ext after growth is complete so pt does not outgrow tx
Camouflage
57
What part of class III tx planning? Done after growth is complete
Surgery
58
What does tx timing depend on? (4)
Degree of severity Amount of growth left Tx objectives Facial profile
59
When are teeth extracted for ortho tx?
Not enough room Camouflage a skeletal discrepancy
60
What is treatment timing based on for dental problems?
Dentition
61
What is treatment timing based on for skeletal problems?
Skeletal maturation
62
Appliances that affect growth
63
Which jaw? Protraction facemask (reverse pull headgear)
Mandible (class III)
64
Which jaw? Headgear
Maxilla (class II)
