URA design for anterior cross bite

A

A - z spring for tooth that is behind LI 0.5mm HSSW

R - Adams clasps 0.7mm HSSW on 4s and 6s

A - only moving one tooth

124
Q

how do you manage a digit habit - 4

A

bitter nail polish
positive reinforcement
glove on hand
habit breaker appliance - deterrents such as goal posts

125
Q

4 signs a patient is wearing their URA

A

active components now passive
wore into surgery
no excess salivation and speech adapted
signs of wear on appliance and tissues

126
Q

how can you diagnose an infra occluded tooth

A

percussion note
radiograph - no PDL space
no mobility

127
Q

why is it important to treat over jet early

A

trauma risk
aesthetics - bullying
more difficult to treat when pt stops growing

128
Q

which arch do you treatment plan first

A

lower - then plan upper around the plan for lower

129
Q

when assessing crowding, how is space available measured?

A

measure arch length anterior to FPM

130
Q

you are going to extract a premolar to alleviate crowding in the lower arch -
when would you extract the 4 and when would you extract the 5?

A

4 - moderate to severe crowding

5 - mild to moderate crowding

131
Q

define mild, moderate and severe crowding

A

Mild: <4
Moderate: 4-8
Severe: >8

132
Q

stainless steel constituents

A

iron - 72%
chromium - 18%
nickel - 8%
titanium - 1.7%
carbon - 0.3%

133
Q

what is iron combined with to form steel

A

carbon

134
Q

what property does chromium give to stainless steel

A

corrosion resistance

135
Q

what properties do nickel give to stainless steel

A

corrosion resistance and strength

136
Q

why is titanium added to stainless steel

A

to prevent precipitation of chromium carbides at grain boundaries

carbon preferably binds to titanium over chromium

137
Q

how is stainless steel hardened

A

work hardening - drawing metal in a cold state through a series of dies of successively smaller diameter

138
Q

what is the function of a baseplate

A

anchorage
retention
connect components

139
Q

what is ID tubing used for in URA and give two examples of active components that require ID tubing

A

added to buccally placed active components to increase strength and rigidity
Roberts retractor
Buccal canine retractor

140
Q

how to you fit a URA - 9

A

Correct patient
Correct design
Inspect acrylic
Integrity of wire
Insert and check for blanching or trauma
Posterior retention - flyover then arrow head
Anterior retention
Activate appliance
Demo pt insertion and removing
Review app. 4-6 weeks

141
Q

advice given to pt after fitting URA

A

big and bulky
affect speech for short time
salivation
discomfort or ache
wear 24/7 inc. meal times and sleep
remove after meal and clean
remove for contact sports
avoid hard or sticky foods
cautious with hot and cold
non compliance increases treatment time
emergency contact

142
Q

what is the result of neural tube fusion failure

A

spina bifida

143
Q

where are pulp dentine cementum and PDL derived from

A

ectomesenchyme

144
Q

what deformity occurs when palatine processes fail to fuse

A

cleft palate formation

145
Q

why can cleft lip and alveolus occur independently of cleft palate and vice versa

A

upper lip and anterior palate have different embryological origins to the posterior palate
fuse at different times

146
Q

where are mandibular and maxillary processes derived from

A

first pharyngeal arch

147
Q

what cartilage precedes the mandible

A

meckels cartilage

148
Q

3 genetic causes of cleft lip and palate

A

monozygotic twins

familial pattern

syndromes

149
Q

3 environmental causes of cleft lip and palate

A

social deprivation
smoking
alcohol

150
Q

3 dental features of cleft lip and palate

A

impacted teeth
crowding
hypodontia

151
Q

3 sites of facial growth

A

sutures
synchondroses
surface deposition

152
Q

what is a suture

A

fibrous joint between intramembranous bones that fuse when growth is complete

153
Q

where are synchondroses found

A

midline of sphenoid, occipital and ethmoid bones - cartilage based growth centres

154
Q

what causes growth rotations

A

imbalance in growth of anterior and posterior face heights

155
Q

UI-Mx and LI-Md measure the angulation of incisors to maxilla and mandible - what are their normal values

A

UI Mx 109
LI Md 93

156
Q

average inter-incisal angle (UI/LI)

A

135
