- developmental
congenital causes of skeletal malocclusion
- clefts
2. syndromes
developmental causes of skeletal malocclusion
- malocclusion
2. condylar hyperplasia
most malocclusions are caused by what?
developmental causes
trauma that causes skeletal malocclusion
- condylar fracture
2. radiation therapy
pathology causing skeletal malocclusion
- TMJ internal derrangement
2. acromegaly
congenital syndromes that cause skeletal malocclusion
- ectodermal dysplasia
- Treacher Collin’s syndrome (mandibulofacial dysostosis)
- hemifacial microsomia (Goldenhar’s syndrome)
tx of skeletal malocclusion
- growth redirection
- orthodontic camouflage
- orthognathic surgery
orthodontic camouflage accentuates what?
dental compensations
orthodontic camouflage is the opposite movement of what?
pre-surgical orthodontics
T/F: orthodontic camouflage has minimal discrepancy
true
T/F: orthodontic camouflage may possibly be less stable than other means of tx’ing skeletal malocclusion
true
what may be compromised with orthodontic camouflage ?
- esthetic
2. perio
T/F: in order to treat skeletal malocclusion with growth redirection, patient needs to be done growing
false, must have remaining growth
what should be considered with growth redirection?
TMJ
which tx option has limited correction possible?
growth redirection
T/F: patients undergoing growth redirection may have issues with compliance and may face burnout
true
orthognathic surgery
combined orthodontics and surgery used to manage a skeletal malocclusion
advantages of orthognathic surgery
- increased stability
- decreased tx time
- improved occlusion
- improved esthetics
indications for orthognathic surgery
- skeletal discrepancy with masticatory difficulty
- impingement on palatal tissue
- speech difficulty
- OSA (obstructive sleep apnea)
- psychosocial problems
- esthetics
how long does pre-surgical ortho take?
12-18 months
phase of treatment for orthognathic surgery
- pre-surgical ortho
- surgery
- post-surgical ortho
how long does post-surgical ortho take?
6 months
T/F: only ppl with convex facial profiles have normal occlusion
false, all facial types can have a normal occlusion
how is general facial form defined?
by appearance of the N’ -A- Pg’ line
general facial form is a general agreement among what?
- soft tissue profile
- skeletal features
- dental features
T/F: general facial form gives an overall impression and does not identify specific problems
true
straight profile indicates what?
optimal relations of maxilla and mandible to each other and to the cranial base
