Q

multifactorial theories of eruption process

A

cellular proliferation at apex
localised change in bp/hydrostatic pressure
metabolic activity within PDL
resorption of overlying hard tissue

11
Q

resorption of overlying hard tissue

A

due to enzymes in dental follicle - dark halo on radiograph
need remodelling of bone/ primary tooth tissue for eruption

BUT not necessary for tooth to erupt to cause resorption of bone
resorption process can be uncoupled from eruption process

Q

what happens when the dental follicle is activated?

A

initiate OC activity in alveolar bone ahead of tooth
once crestal bone breached - follicle likely to play lesser role
- into supra-alveolar phase

Q

when does eruption stop?

throughout life - compensate for vertical growth of jaws and tooth wear

Q

primary dentition - differences in occlusion

A

anterior spacing so no crowding in permanent
anthropoid/primate spacing
leeway space
facial growth affects occlusion
proclined path of eruption of permanent incisors - increases AP arch length so more space

97
Q

what is ideal to see when timing ext of HFPMs?

A

calcification of bifurcation of L7s
before L7 erupts starts to drift forwards
like to see developing 8s - not always possible

98
Q

what do you often ext at the same time as HFPMs?

A

U at same time

99
Q

if ortho and crowded dentition when would you ext HFPMs?

A

keep 6s until 7s erupt - keep space in a crowded dentition to avoid ext of good premolars

100
Q

jaw relationship at birth

A

gum pads widely separated anteriorly

tongue resting on L gum pad and in contact with L lip

101
Q

characteristics of primary dentition

A

incisors spaced and upright
teeth smaller
reduced overjet
whiter

102
Q

psychology of child development

A
motor
cognitive
perceptual 
language
social
103
Q

why is it suggested that motor development may be genetically programmed?

A

predictability of early “motor milestones”

104
Q

when is motor development completed?

A

in infancy

changes following ability to walk are refinements

105
Q

two aspects of motor development - eye-hand coordination and walking

A

walking 9-15m but variations

eye-hand coordination gradually becomes more precise and elaborate with increasing experience

106
Q

stages of cognitive development

A

sensorimotor
preoperational thought
concrete operations
formal operations

107
Q

sensorimotor

A

until about 2yrs

object permanence

108
Q

preoperational thought

A
2-7yrs
predict outcomes of behaviour
egocentric
facilitated by language development
unable to understand why areas and vols remain unchanged even though shape and position may change
109
Q

concrete operations

A

7-11yrs
logic
see others perspective
still difficult to think in an abstract manner

110
Q

formal operations

A

11 years +

logical abstract thinking

111
Q

perceptual development

A

most research looks at eye movement
compared to adult a 6yr old will cover less of an object, take in less info and become fixated on details
selective attention by 7yrs

112
Q

what is needed for language development?

A

stimulation

113
Q

language - 1 yr old

A

understands 20 words, simple phrases, relates objects to words
uses 2-3 words, repetitive babble, tuneful jargon
sounds: b, d, m

114
Q

language - 2yr old

A

understands: simple commands, questions, joins in action songs
uses 100 words, puts 2 words together, echolalia
sounds: p, t, k, g, m

115
Q

language - 3yr old

A

understands prepositions (on, under), fcts of objects, simple conversations
uses 4 word sentences, what/who/where, relates experiences
sounds: f, s, l

116
Q

language - 4yr old

A

understands: colours, numbers, tenses, complex instructions
uses long grammatical sentences, relates stories
sounds: v, z, ch, j

117
Q

feeding skills - pre 40 wks gestation

A

28wks - non-nutritive sucking

primitive reflexes
semi-reclined feeding position
liquid diet

more control of suck/swallow
munching
move towards semi-solid diet
