Q

What is the A/P relationship?

Q

How do we work out the FMPA??

A

Frankfort plane and mandibular plane and draw both lines and see where the join in relation to the occipit

Q

How do we assess face height?

A

LAFH : TAFH

should be 50::50 when assessing clinically

17
Q

What do we assess in terms of the lip?

A

Competent or not

18
Q

What is competent lips?

A

This is when mentalis muscle is relaxed the lips join

19
Q

What is incompetent lips?

A

This is when mentalis is relaxed the lips dont touch - trauma risk as teeth exposed

20
Q

What is a lip trap?

A

This is when the lower lip gets behind the upper teeth and upper incisors rest on or are infrotn of the lip - this has high relapse risk unless we get lower lip sitting infrotn of teeth

21
Q

What is the Naso-labial angle?

A

Average
Inc
Red

22
Q

What is the smile line assessment?

A

High
Normal
Low

23
Q

What do we assess intra-orally?

A

Teeth present
Missing teeth
OH assessment
BPE
Poor prognosis teeth
Tooth quality

24
Q

What do we assess in each arch?

A

Crowding - mild moderate, severe
crowding/aligned/spaced

25
Q

What is classes as MILD, MOD and SEVERE CROWDING?

A

Mild <4mm
Moder 4-8mm
Severe >8mm

26
Q

What is the inclinations of the incisors?

A

Proclined
average
retroclined

27
Q

What are the incisor relationships?

A

Class I
Class II Div I
Class II Div II

28
Q

What is class I incisor relationship?

A

This is where the lower incisor edge occludes with or lies directly on cingulum plateau of the upper incisors

29
Q

What is class II Div I incisor relationship?

A

This is where the lower incisor edge occludes POSTERIOR to the cingulum plateau of the upper incisors
The incisors can be proclined or of normal inclination and there can be an increased OJ

30
Q

What is Class II Div I relationship?

A

This is where the lower incisor edge occludes POSTERIOR cingulum plateau of the upper incisors
This is where upper incisors are retroclined

31
Q

What is class III incisor relationship?

A

This is where lower incisor edge occludes ANTERIOR to cingulum plateau of upper incisors

OJ CAN BE REDUCED OR REVERSED

32
Q

What is OJ?

A

This is the horizontal relationship of maxillary incisor to mandibular incisors
Measure it in mm

33
Q

What is OB?

A

Vertical relationshio

can be

reduced
average
increased

can be incomplete, complete (with tooth contact or palate contact) or traumatic

34
Q

What is a class I molar relationship?

A

Upper 6 MB cusp occludes with buccal groove of lower 6

35
Q

What is class II 50% molars?

A

This is where upper 6 MB cusp moves a Half unit mesially so upper 6 and lower 6 lie on top of each other

36
Q

What is class II 100% full unit molars?

A

This is where upper 6 MB cusp occludes anterior to the buccal groove of lower 6 - occludes onto the 5

37
Q

What is a class III molar relationship?

A

This is where upper 6 MB cause occludes posterior to the buccal groove of lower 6

38
Q

What is a class I canine relationship?

A

This is where upper canine occludes distal to lower canine

39
Q

What is class II canine relationship?

A

This is where upper canine occludes mesial to lower canine

40
Q

What is class III canine relationship?

A

This is where upper canine occludes very distal to the lower canine
