Orthognathics Flashcards
Cephalometric AP Maxillomandibular Relationship (Steiner)
SNA = 82 +/- 4 degrees SNB = 80 +/- 3 degrees ANB = 2 +/- 4 degrees Negative ANB denotes class III malocclsusion
How many mm of arch space is needed for each degree of dental compensation?
Approximately 0.8mm of arch space per degree
Maxillary blood supply
Facial artery - ascending palatine artery (retained)
Internal maxillary artery - ascending pharyngeal (retained), descending palatine, nasopalatine, posterior superior, infraorbital arteries
Distraction phases
Phase I: Osteotomy
Phase II: Latency, 3-7 days
Phase III: Activation, 0.5mm twice per day
Phase IV: Consolidation, 12 weeks (at least twice the time of the activation phase)
Bolton Anaylsis
Mandibular / Maxillary
12 teeth = ~91.3% (less means maxillary excess)
6 teeth = ~77.2% (less means maxillary excess)
Decompensation of anterior teeth
Class II - upper incisors usually retroclined, lower incisions typically proclined
Class III - upper incisors usually proclined, lower incisors typically retroclined
Alignment of incisors
Maxillary - 102 degrees to SN
Mandibular - 90-95 degrees to the mandibular plane
Facial Contour
Males = -11 +/- 4 Females = -13 +/- 4
Frontal View
Facial Thirds / facial fifths
Symmetry / Asymmetry
Greater than 4mm of tooth show may indicate lip incompetence
Rule of Fifths (one eye = one fifth of the face)
Lateral canthus = gonial angle
Medial canthus = alar base
Pupil = commissure of the mouth
Intercanthal distance = 29 - 36mm
Interpupillary distance = 61 - 64mm
Profile View
Malar eminence = 15 lateral, 15mm inferior to the lateral canthus Nasolabial angle = 100 +/- 10 degrees Chin-throat angle = 110 degrees Labiomental fold = 130 degrees Lip competence
Cephalometric Mandibular Plane Angle
Steiner: Mandibular plane (Go-Gn) and anterior cranial base (S-N) Normal = 32 degrees >39 degrees is high <28 degrees is low
Cephalometric Occlusal Plane Angle
Occlusal plane (OP) and anterior cranial base (S-N) Normal = 14 degrees High angle = longer anterior facial height Low angle = shorter anterior facial height
Cephalometric Incisor Position
Maxillary - 22 degrees to NA, 4mm anterior (4-6 mm ahead of true vertical A point line)d
Mandibular - 25 degrees to NB, 4mm anterior
Holdaway Ratio
NB line through the inferior border of the mandible. Compare lower incisor distance to Pog distance.
Males = 1:1
Females = 0.5:1
A 2:1 ratio equals dental proclination. 2mm is acceptable, 3mm is less desirable, 4mm indicates correction
Hierarchy of stability
Highly Stable: | Maxilla Up | Mandible Forward | Genioplasty Stable: | Maxilla Forward | Maxilla Up / Mandible Forward | Maxilla Forward / Mandible Back Less Stable | Mandible Back | Maxilla Down | Maxilla Wider
