47
Q

most common impacted anterior teeth

A

MAX. CANINE

48
Q

3 principals when tx planning an impacted tooth

A
  1. prognosis based on displacement and surgical trauma req for exposure

maxillary diastema

A

98% 6 yr olds
49% 11 yr olds
-caused by tooth-size discrep, mesiodens, abnormal frenum attachment, or normal
-2 mm or less will close by itself
-if it’s cause of frenum -> frenectomy when permanent canines erupt

56
Q

methods to close a diasetma

A
  • lingual arch with finger springs
  • hawley with finger springs
  • cemented ortho bands
57
Q

6 types of ortho movements

  1. tipping
  2. translation
  3. extrusion
  4. intrusion
  5. torque
  6. rotation
A
  1. tipping - rotation/pivot around axis of rotation (apical 1/3 of root)
  2. translation - coupled force, difficult
  3. extrusion
  4. intrusion - difficult
  5. torque - controlled root movement when crown is held stable, “uprighting”
  6. rotation - recurring rotation after ortho tx is from persistence of elastic supracrestal gingival fibers
58
Q

what kind of fibers are assoc. with relapse after ortho rotation

A

supracrestal gingival fibers (free gingival and transseptal)

59
Q

an appropriate candidate for post-ortho circumferential supracrestal fibrotomy is what tooth

A

a rotated max. lateral

-incise all collagen fibers inserted into the tooth, eliminates relapse potential

60
Q

rationale for retention is to

A

allow reorganization of gingival and periodontal tissues

61
Q

for an appliance to be effective in translating tooth roots, it must be capable of

A

exerting a torque

62
Q

fixed ortho appliances offer controlled movement in all 3 planes of space. 4 basic components are:

A

bands, brackets, archwires, auxillaries

Alloys used for archwires are

1) SS - can be controlled widely by cold work
2) chromium-cobalt - can be supplied softer, and heat increases strength
3) titanium - good combo of strength, springiness, good formability

63
Q

properties of an ideal wire for ortho should possess

A

high strength, high range, high formability, low stiffness

-loops and helices are incorporated to increase the activation range

64
Q

quad helix

A

FIXED appliance

-consists of 4 helices (2 ant, 2 post) for POSTERIOR CROSSBITE cases from thumb sucking

65
Q

unbuffered phosphoric acid 35-50%

A

etching agent for bonding of brackets, tooth looks frosted

DO NOT use topical fluoride before etching cause fluoride decreases enamel solubility

66
Q

indications for bands instead of bonded brackets

A

better anchorage for movement, for teeth that need lingual and labial attachment, short clinical crowns, surfaces incompatible with bonding

67
Q

band cementation with

A

GI cements due to F- release, use cold slab technique

68
Q

indirect method of bonding brackets > direct method

pros and cons?

A

pros - less time, accurate placement, controlled resin thickness btw tooth and bracket, easy clean up

cons - more technique sensitive

used in situations where visibility is a problem ex. lingual appliances

69
Q

most widely used appliance by orthodontists is the

A

FIXED EDGEWISE appliance
-tx comprehensive malocclusions of adolescent permanent dentition

Components

  • Siamese twin bracket (max anterior teeth)
  • Broussard buccal tube
  • Straight wire bracket and bracket with a 0.0222 x 0.028 rectangular slot
  • Wire is usually 0.125 x 0.028
70
Q

takes how long to upright a molar

A

6-12 months

use a EDGEWISE appliance

stabilization should last until lamina dura and PDL reorganize ~ 2 mo. for simple upright, up to 6 for grafts

71
Q

one of the most significant complications of molar uprighting is

A

high mandibular plane angle -> can cause open bite, loss of anteiror guidance

72
Q

whip-spring appliances are used to

A

DE-rotate one or two teeth

73
Q

Space maintainers that replace ONE prematurely missing primary tooth

  1. Band and Loop
  2. Distal Shoe
A
  1. B& L - for primary 1st molar

2. Distal shoe - for primary 2nd molar loss before the permanent 1st molar erupts (kids under 5 or 6)

74
Q

Space maintainers that replace MULTIPLE prematurely missing primary tooth

  1. Lingual arch
  2. Nance
  3. Partial denture
A
  1. Lingual arch - primary 2nd molars or permanent 1st molars are banded, when permanent incisors have erupted
  2. Nance - bilateral loss of primary max. molars, prevents mesial rotation and drifting of permanent max. molars
  3. Partial - bilateral posterior space maintenance when incisors haven’t erupted, also for missing anteriors when esthetics an issue
75
Q

Removable ortho appliances are generally restricted to what movement

A

TIPPING teeth

  1. Active removable - head gears, lip bumpers, vacuum formed
  2. Passive - bite planes, occlusal splints, retainers
76
Q

indications of removable appliances

A
  1. retention after tx
  2. limited tipping
  3. growth modification during mixed dentition
77
Q

most common removable retainer in ortho is the

A

Hawley retainer

  • clasps on molars and outer bow with adjustment loops canine to canine
  • palatal coverage make it possible to incorporate a BITE PLATE lingual to mx incisors to control bite depth (good for ppl with overbite)
78
Q

Begg appliance

A

round wires that fit loosely into bracket’s vertical slot

79
Q

Frankel’s appliance

A

removable app used for abnormal (hyperactive) soft tissue patterns

80
Q

Headgear used to maintain

A

extra-oral anchorage and traction

-advantage is it PERMITS POSTERIOR MOVEMENT of teeth in one arch without disturbing the other arch

81
Q

4 basic headgears

A
  1. cervical pull
  2. straight pull
  3. high pull
  4. reverse pull
82
Q

Cervical pull headgear

A
  • for distal and downward force against maxillary teeth and maxilla
  • con = extrusion of max molars
  • indications = Class II, Div I
83
Q

Straight pull headgear

A
  • like cervical but places a force in a straight distal direction from max molar
  • indications = Class II, Div I
84
Q

High pull headgear

A
  • distal and upward force on max teeth and maxilla

- indications = Class II, Div II with open bite

85
Q

Reverse pull headgear

A

EXTRAORAL component

-indications = Class III where protraction of maxilla is desirable

86
Q

finger springs is the best method to

A

tip max and mandibular anterior teeth

Z-springs can also be used but delivery heavy forces

87
Q

maxillary incisor rotation is best treated when

A

after all permanent teeth have erupted with simple removable appliances

88
Q

Tissue borne functional appliances include (1)

A

Frankel’s

-expands arch by padding against the pressure of lips and cheeks on teeth, postures the mandible forward and downward

89
Q

Tooth borne functional appliances include (4)

A
  1. activator - advances mandible to edge to edge to induce mandibular growth and correct Class II
  2. Bionator - similar to activator
  3. Herbst - fixed or partially removable, posture the mandible forward and induce growth
  4. Clark’s twin block - postures mandible forward with help of occlusally inclined guiding planes and bite blocks
90
Q

first order bend in a wire is in which plane

A

HORIZONTAL

91
Q

cartilage growth occurs 2 ways

  1. appositional
  2. interstitial
A
  1. appositional - recruitment of fresh cells, chondroblasts, add new matrix
  2. interstitial - mitotic division and deposit of more matrix around chondrocytes already in the cartilage, HYALINE CARTILAGE grows this way
92
Q

sites of interstitial growth incl.

A

mandibular condyle, nasal septum, spheno-occipital synchondrosis

93
Q

bone forms by either endochondral or intramembranous ossification

A
  • begins in embryo where mesenchymal cells differentiate into fibrous membrane or cartilage
  • grows by APPOSITION
  1. intramembranous - in membranes of osteoprogenitor cells. MAXILLA and MANDIBLE, flat bones of skull and part of clavicle form this way
  2. endochondral - remainder of skeleton, in hyaline cartilage model, for short and long bones
94
Q

bone growth only occurs by __ growth

A

APPOSITIONAL

95
Q

major site of growth of the mandible is the

A

CONDYLE

  • resorption along anterior ramus creates space for mand. molars
  • main growth thrust is UP and BACK causing the body fo the mandible to move DOWN and FORWARD
96
Q

growth at the mandibular condyle during puberty results in

A

increase in posterior facial height

97
Q

bone deposition in the __ region is responsible for lengthening of the maxillary arch

A

max tuberosity

-max arch elongates, moves posterior, and increases in height

98
Q

alveolar bone only exists to

A

support teeth

-in a kid, the alveolar process grows in height and length to accomodate the developing dentition

99
Q

space btw jaws into where the teeth erupt is provided by growth at the

A 
mandibular condyles (esp. molars)
-soft tissue development carries the mandible forward and down, and condylar growth fills the space to maintain contact with base of the skull
100
Q

in infancy, ramus is located at the spot where what tooth will erupt

A

primary first molar

101
Q

theory that explains why there is a strong tendency for mand anterior crowding in late teens and 20s is

A

late mandibular growth

  • it says mand. incisors and maybe all mand. teeth move DISTALLY
  • mandible undergoes more growth in this time than maxilla
102
Q

most rapid losses in arch perimeter are usually due to

A

mesial tipping and rotation of the permanent 1st molar after removal of the primary 2nd molar

103
Q

if a perm 1st molar is ext on a kid before the perm 2nd erupts, what do you do?

A

allow 2nd molar to erupt and mesially drift to close the space

104
Q

when can a space maintainer be removed

A

when the perm tooth erupts through gingiva

105
Q

most reliable indicator of readiness of eruption of a succedaneous (permanent) tooth and need for space maintainer is

A

extent of root development
