gdp

Q

what do we need to find out about the presenting complaint?

16
Q

how should the skeletal pattern be examined?

A

patient should be upright in natural head position - if pt posturing use frankfort plane

teeth should be at rest in position of maximum intercuspation

3 planes:
anteroposterior
vertical
transverse

Q

how to examine the anteroposterior part of the skeletal pattern?

A

view the patient from the side
look at the relative position of the maxilla and mandible
palpate:
soft tissue A point
soft tissue B point

Q

skeletal pattern of the anteroposterior can be classified as 3 classes, what are they?

A

class I : mandible is 2-3 mm posterior to maxilla

class II : mandible is retruded relative to the maxilla

class III : mandible is protruded relative to the maxilla

20
Q

what is the lower facial height?

A

distance from the eyebrow to the base of the nose should equal the distance from the base of the nose to the lowermost point of the chin

21
Q

what is the frankfort mandibular plane angle?

A

look at the point of intersection between the mandibular plane and frankfort plane, they should intersect at the occiput

22
Q

the 2 tests for vertical plane of the skeletal pattern can be classified as what?

A

average
increased
reduced

23
Q

how is the transverse plane of skeletal pattern measured?

A

all faces are asymmetric to a small degree
view from the front and above (birdseye)
an occlusal plane asymmetry is easier t see if the patient bites onto a tongue spatula

24
Q

what are you looking out for in the lips?

A

form, tone and fullness
lip competence (do they meet at rest)
lower lip position relative to the upper incisors
lip trap
length of upper lip and amount of upper tooth shown

25
Q

what are tongue thrusts?

A

the motion of pushing your tongue forward, against the back of the teeth or between the top and bottom teeth, when swallowing, speaking or relaxing.

26
Q

what do habits such as thumb sucking cause?

A

increased OJ
open bite
posterior crossbites
narrowing of upper arch

27
Q

what are the incisor relationships?

A

Class I
Class II
Class III

28
Q

what is a class I incisor relationship?

A

the lower incisor edges occlude with or lie below the cingulum plateau of the upper incisor

29
Q

what is a class II incisor relationship?

A

the lower incisor edges lie posterior to the cingulum plateau. 2 dubdivisions

division 1 - the upper central incisors are proclined or of average inclination, and there is an increased overjet

division 2 - the upper central incisors are retroclined and the overjet is usually minimal or may be increased

30
Q

what is a class III incisor relationship?

A

the lower incisor edges lie anterior to the cingulum pateau

31
Q

what are the molar relationship classes?

A

Class I
Class II
Class III

32
Q

what is a class I molar relationship?

A

the mesiobuccal cusp of the upper first molar occludes with the mesiobuccal groove of the lower first molar

33
Q

what is a class II molar relationship?

A

the mesiobuccal cusp occludes mesial to the groove

34
Q

what is a class III molar relationship?

A

the mesiobuccal cusp occludes distal to the groove

35
Q

what is the IOTN?

A

The Index of Orthodontic Treatment Needed

36
Q

what is the purpose of the IOTN?

A

to help determine the impact of a malocclusion on an individual’s dental health and psychosocial well-being

37
Q

the IOTN compromises of 2 elements, what are they?

A

dental health component
aesthetic component

38
Q

a dental health component score of what will receive treatment on the NHS?

A

4 or 5

39
Q

how do you figure out the dental health component of the IOTN?

A

the single worst feature of a malocclusion is noted and categorised into one of 5 grades reflecting the need for tx

40
Q

what are the grades of the dental health component?

A

grade 1 - no need
grade 2 - little need
grade 3 - moderate need
grade 4 - great need
grade 5 - very great need

41
Q

what acronym is used to identify the single worst feature to determinE the DHC?

A

M - missing teeth
O - overjet
C - crossbites
D - displacement of contact points
O - overbites

42
Q

what is used to help with the IOTN assessment?

A

IOTN ruler

43
Q

what is the IOTN aesthetic component?

A

this index assess the impact posed by a malocclusion and the likely psychological impact
set of 10 standard colour photographs grades 1 to 10 (most to least aesthetically pleasing)

44
Q

what are the scores for the aesthetic component?

A

determine the need for treatment
score 1 or 2 - no need
score 3 or 4 - slight
score 5, 6 or 7 - moderate/borderline
score 8, 9 or 10 - definite

45
Q

why is the aesthetic component criticised?

A

for being subjective
the photos are only composed of class I and II cases, not III

46
Q

what is a DPT used to assess?

A

overall assess
missing teeth
root morphology

47
Q

what is a lateral ceph used to assess?

A

indicates skeletal discrepancies
incisor relationship
soft tissues

48
Q

what is an upper anterior occlusal used to assess?

A

to investigate the position of an unerupted canine

49
Q

what is a CBCT scan used to assess?

A

3D assessment of dentition
used for impacted teeth in the UK
