Orthodontics Flashcards
What is the eruption sequence of deciduous teeth?
A>B>D>C>E
Lowers before uppers except lateral incisors
From date of eruption how long does it take for primary tooth to complete apexogenesis?
1.5yrs
When does eruption start and end for primary dentition?
Eruption Begins at 3months and completed at 2.5yrs
What is the eruption sequence for permanent dentition?
Uppers;
6>1>2>4>5>3>7>8
Lowers:
6>1>2>3>4>5>7>8
Lowers before uppers except 5s
What are the dates for permanent eruption?
6yrs: lower and upper 6; lower 1
7yrs: lower 2, upper 1
8yrs: upper 2
9yrs: lower 3
10yrs: lower and upper 4, upper and lower 5
11yrs: upper 3
12yrs: lower and upper 7
From date of eruption how long does it take for permanent root tooth to complete apexogenesis?
3yrs
What is anthropoid space?
Mesial to maxillary primary canines and distal to mandibular canines
What is leeway space?
Primary canines and molars are larger than succeeding canine and premolars,
Greater in lower arch 2-2.5mm than upper arch 1-1.5mm
Describe class II div 1
Lower incisor edge lie posterior to the cingulum plateau of the upper incisors with an increased overjet.
Upper incisors are proclined or of average inclination
Management of class II div 1 cases?
Accept
Attempt growth modification
- headgear: restrain growth of maxilla
Functional appliances:
- twin block, medium opening activator and Herbert appliance that eliminate or guide forces to correct occlusion
- restrain maxillary growth and encourage mandibular growth
- must be used during growth and pubertal growth spurt 10-12yrs of age
URA: - limited use only for mild class 2 overjet
Fixed appliances
- before, during and after surgery
Orthognathic surgery
- when growth is complete and with every skeletal A/P discrepancy or vertical direction
Describe class II div 2
Lower incisor edges lie posterior to the cingulum plateau of the upper central incisors.
Upper incisors are retroclined and overjet is minimal or may be increased.
What is the management options for class 2 div 2 cases?
Accept
Growth modification
- used in growing patients with moderate skeletal 2 pattern using twin blocks and upper sectional fixed appliances
Camouflage - accept underlying and make class 1 incisor relationship
Orthognathic surgery
- only in severe cases
Describe class 3 malocclusion
Lower incisor edges occlude anterior to the cingulum plateau of the upper centrals. overjet is reduced or reversed.
What are the management options for class 3 cases
Accept
Intercept early with URA
- for incisor relationship and anterior crossbite
Growth modification
- functional appliances (reverse twin block/frankel III)l chin cup head gear with RME to reduce or redirect mandibular growth and encourage maxillary growth
Camouflage
- accept underlying skeletal and correct incisors
Combined orthognathic and orthodontic fixed appliances
What is the definition and prevalence of MIH?
Hypomineralisation of systemic origin of 1-4 permanent molars, frequently with affected incisors
Hypomineralisation is the disturbance of enamel formation resulting in reduced enamel content.
Prevalence:
- 10-20% population affected
- 14.5% of 7yr olds
