Answer 11

2/3 of the root formed

Question 12

Local influences which _____ permanent tooth eruption
1.localized pathosis:
➢periapical lesions (abscess), pulpitis and pulpotomy? of a primary molar)

Answer 12

hasten

Question 13

When a primary tooth is extracted before active eruption of permanent tooth (2/3 of root development), this _____ permanent tooth eruption

Answer 13

Slows

Question 14

When the maxilla is measured for width, what is measured in the posterior teeth?

Answer 14

Lingual cusp to lingual cusp

Question 15

When the mandible is measured for width, what is measured in the posterior teeth?

Answer 15

Central groove to central groove

Question 16

What is the normal maxilla width?

Answer 16

40-45 mm

Question 17

The increases are tied to alveolar process growth (both dental eruption and vertical process growth)

Answer 17

Arch width

Question 18

______ changes
▪Vertical Alveolar Process Growth
▪occurs during general growth “spurts”
▪different for maxilla and mandible: divergent maxillary process translates into more arch width growth
•Dental Eruption
▪wider placement of the permanent teeth
▪apposition of alveolar bone to support these teeth will result in increase in arch width

Answer 18

Arch width changes

During what ages does the arch width grow?

Answer 19

6-12 years old

What happens after the age of 6-12 years old to arch width?

Answer 20

Decreases in size or maintain at best

Answer 23

8-11

Question 24

At what ages should the arch perimeter be tinkered with for expansion?

Answer 24

11-13

Question 25

▪Variable(depends on pattern of tooth eruption)
▪Not difference between sexes
▪Factors which limit loss include greater labial angulation of incisors, greater increases in arch width and smaller leeway space

Answer 25

Maxillary arch

Question 26

▪Factors which limit loss of perimeter width in maxilla include what 3 things?

Answer 26

greater labial angulation of incisors,
