Q

when would you extract a natal tooth?

A
  • if mobile - inhalation risk
  • feeding problem

Q

multifactorial theories of eruption process

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

Q

what happens when the dental follicle is activatedin eruption?

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?

when tooth contacts something - usually opposing arch

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

Q

primary dentition - how is permanent teeth fitting into the arch?

anthropoid/primate spacing
leeway space
facial growth
proclined path of eruption of permanent incisors - increases AP arch length so more space

Q

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

A

98
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

99
Q

jaw relationship at birth

A
  • gum pads widely separated anteriorly (U &L)
  • Gum pad contact posteriorly
  • tongue resting on L gum pad and in contact with L lip
  • AOB
100
Q

characteristics of primary dentition

A

incisors spaced and upright
teeth smaller
reduced overjet
whiter

101
Q

psychology of child development

A
motor
cognitive
perceptual 
language
social
102
Q

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

A

predictability of early “motor milestones”

103
Q

when is motor development completed?

A

in infancy

changes following ability to walk are refinements

104
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

105
Q

stages of cognitive development

A

sensorimotor
preoperational thought
concrete operations
formal operations

106
Q

sensorimotor

A

until about 2yrs

object permanence

107
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
108
Q

concrete operations

A

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

109
Q

formal operations

A

11 years +

logical abstract thinking

110
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

111
Q

what is needed for language development?

A

stimulation

112
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

113
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

114
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

115
Q

language - 4yr old

A

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

116
Q

feeding skills - pre 40 wks gestation

A

28wks - non-nutritive sucking

primitive reflexes
semi-reclined feeding position
liquid diet

118

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