ortho section of exam Flashcards
What are the components of extraoral assessment?
Anterior posterior (AP)
Vertical
Transverse
How to assess AP skeletal pattern and what radiograph?
Radiograph: lateral cephalogram
- palpation
- place index and middle finger in the concavities of the maxilla and mandible and assess change in inclination
-zero meridian
* draw imaginary frankfurt (horizontal) and zero meridian line
skeletal class 1: chin 2 mm behind or on top of the line
skeletal class 2: chin behind the line
skeletal class 3: chin over the line
how do you assess vertical skeletal relationship
- Angular measurement
FMPA
intersection between the frankfurt and mandibular plane at the occiput.
high angle = above the occiput
average angle = at the occiput
low angle = behind the occiput - linear measurement
LAFH
assess the proportions of the face from mid eyebrow to tip of nose and from nose to chin.
The proportion should be equal
how do you check the transverse skeletal pattern
check pt facial symmetry
look at the pt from the top and mid eyebrow, nose, lip and chin should all line up
soft tissues
- lip competence
how lips meet at rest - Incisal display
(when smiling 2 mm from upper incisal edge) - lip protrusion (rickets E line)
intra arch assessment
ACAI
Alignment
Crowding
1-4 mm = mild
4-8 mm = moderate
<8 mm = severe
Angulation (mesio distal tip relationship between crown and root)
Inclination (buccal lingual orientation)
interarch assessment
incisal relationship
overjet
overbite
centreline
molar relationship
canine relationship
crossbite
define incisal relationship for all classess
class 1 - lower central incisors occlude to the cingulum plateau of the lower central incisors
class 2 lower central incisors occlude posterior to the cingulum plateau of the upper incisors
class 3 lower central incisors occlude anterior to the cingulum platea of the upper incisors
define overjet
horizontal distance between the incisal edge of the upper incisors and labial face of lower incisors
NORMAL = 2-4 MM
define reverse overjet
lower incisors are anterior to upper incisors labial face
define overbite
vertical overlap of lower incisors by upper incisors
normal = upper incisors cover 2/3 of lower incisor
how does centreline of teeth have to be?
upper centreline should be aligned with the facial centreline
lower centreline should align chin point
define crossbite
upper teeth should occlude buccal to lower teeth
what is the ideal time for puberty growth spirt?
11-13 girls
12-14 boys
define class 2 div 1
- lower central incisors occlude posterior to the cingulum plateau of the upper central incisors
- always overjet
- upper central incisors are proclined or of average inclination
BSI classification
Aethiology of skeletal class 2 div 1
SKELETAL
- skeletal class 2 AP
- variable vertical relationship
maxilla is prognatic
mandible is retrognatic
DENTAL
Crowding
Overjet
Class 2 molar relationship
SOFT TISSUE
lower lip is lower than average hence teeth free to move forward
HABITS
- digit sucking
- proclines upper central incisors
- retroclines lower central incisors
- anterior openbite
- narrowing of maxillary arch
management of class 2 div 1
1) accept
2) growth modification with
- functional appliance
- twin block appliance
(ACRYLIC REMOVABLE -
MOVES MANDIBLE FORWARD)
3) headgear (maxillary restraint by restricting AP growth allowing mandible to catch up 500g for 14 hours)
4) camouflage
accept maloclusion
XLA upper 4 (posterior anchorage)
XLA lower 5 (prevents anteriors to move)
5) Orthognatic surgery (18+)
define functional appliance
an ortho device which utilises the forces generated when stretching the muscles of mastication, facial expressions and peridontium of teeth and jaw relationship in an actively growing patient
mode of action of growth modification in class 2 div 1
DENTALVEOLAR
- retroclines upper central incisors
- proclines lower central incisors
- mesial eruption of lower molars
- distal tipping of upper molars
SKELETAL
maxillary restain
mandibilar growth
increase vertical dimension
define class 2 div 2
- lower central incisors occlude posterior to the cingulum plateau of the upper central incisors
- upper central incisors are retroclined
- minimal overjet (but can be increased)
BSI classification
whats the aetiology for class 2 div 2
SKELETAL
- Skeletal class 2 AP
- reduced vertical pattern (both FMPA and LAFH)
maxilla prognatic
mandible retrognatic
DENTAL
- acute crown root
- thin labio palatal thickness
- increased overbite
SOFT TISSUE
- lower lip is higher than normal resting position hence retroclined upper incisors
management of class 2 div 2
1) accept
2) growth modification
with ELSAA
Anterior bite plate - ↓overbite
Recurve spring - procline upper incisors
turn into CLASS 2 div 1 and change to a TWIN BLOCK APPLIANCE
