Rapid Palatal Expansion

Goal: To gain arch length

57

Mixed Dentition

59

Monitoring expansion with occlusal radiographs is generally considered outdated

64
Q

What is the sequale of loosing a mandibular first molar?

A
  • The mandibular first molar is the most common tooth to be missing in the arch
  • The loss of the tooth compromises dental arch integrity
  • Patients delay definitive treatment so opposing teeth supererupt and adjacent teeth rotate and tip into a compromised occlusion
  • Ectopic eruption of 2nd molars
65
Q

A
  • High mandibular plane angle and open bite
  • Periodontal disease
  • Poor crown-to-root ratio and/or short roots
  • Presence of root resorption
66
Q

A
  • Facilitate restoration of function by:
  • Allowing occlusal forces to be directed along the long axis of teeth
  • Creating a more favorable crown:root ratio (after reduction)
67
Q

How can molar uprighting affect periodontal prognosis?

A
  • Potentially improve periodontal prognosis by:
  • Eliminating plaque harboring areas
  • Improving alveolar bone profile
68
Q

If the 2nd and 3rd molars are present, should the 3rd molar be extracted or uprighted?

A
  • If insufficient space to upright 3rd molar, then extract
  • Extraction or 3rd molar facilitates uprighting of 2nd molar
69
Q

What type of movement happens to the 2nd molar when molar uprighting?

A
  • Distal crown tipping
  • Vertical effects
  • Increase spce for replacement (pontic, implant)
70
Q

A
  • Fast
  • Creates space for replacement
  • Can improve plaque control and periodontal situation
71
Q

What are the cons of Distal Crown Tipping?

A
  • Will increase height of uprighted molar causing interferences that need to be reduced
  • Might need pre pros endo or intrude after uprighting (will add time)
72
Q

What is an alternative to Molar Uprighting?

A

Mesial Root Movement

73
Q

What are some sequelae of Mesial Root Movement?

A
  • Light forces, slow tooth movement
  • Wide molar root + narrow alveolar ridge = potential dehiscence
  • Maintain or decrease edentulous space
74
Q

What are Pros of Mesial Root Movement?

A
  • Can usually control vertical effects better
  • Will usually maintain or reduce space of missing tooth (sometimes a Con)
75
Q

What is the Con of Mesial Root Movement?

A
  • Takes a LONG time
  • If dont in conjunctino with space closure into long-standing edentulous ridge, could take years
76
Q

What is the goal of Anchorage in Molar Uprighting?

A

Control of unwanted tooth movement

77
Q

What are some ways you can retain the position of the teeth after molar uprighting?
