space analysis and its interpretation Flashcards
how to determine if there is enough room for succideneous teeth in mixed detention
measure space within the arches after the permanent incisors and first molars have erupted
- compare to space needed to align unerrupted permanent teeth
what is the space available
Distance the arch circumference rom the mesial of 1 permanent first molar to the mesial of the other 1 permanent first molar
how to determine space available
strait line segments
- 2 lateral from mesial of 1st molar to alveolar process in canine
- 2 anterior from canine region to midline
what is the space required
the sum of the width of incisors that have erupted plus the width of the canines and premolars that have not erupted
how to measure for space required
incisors directly from dental casts
- measure unerupted on radiographs
- correlate width of erupted lower incisors
what type of radiograph should be used for estimating teeth size
periapical
not panoramic
how accurate is measuring magnification by comparing to a known tooth size
fair to good, depending on quality
pros and cons of measuring magnification by comparing to a known tooth size
useful for all ethnic groups
extra-radiation
how good is the correlationg between size of permanent lower incosor to unerupted canines and premolars
Good
what method for estimating tooth size uses proportionality tables
Moyers prediction
how to use the moyers method
Mesiodistal width of lower incisors are measured
- use table to predict both upper and lower
quality of the Tanaka-johnston prediction
good accuracy with small bias toward overestimating the unerupted tooth sizes
what does the Tanaka-john prediction predict
the size of the unerupted canines and premolars using the lower incisors
how to do the tanaka johnson prediction
uses two formulas from the mesiodistal width of the lower incors
what are the formulas for mandible canine and premolars in one quad
1/2MD width of 4 lower incors+10.5mm
what are the formulas for he maxillary canine and premolars in one quad
1/2 MD width of 4 lower incisors+11mm
what is the problem os using radiographic images
Getting a good canine view
what is the Hixon-oldfather prediction
combination of radiographic and proportionality table
what is done in the Hixon-oldfather prediction
size of permanent incisors measured from the dnetal casts and size of premolars measure from periapical radiographs to predict size of unerupted canines
what demographic does the Hixon-oldfather prediction show
norther europe
- not good for african or asia
problems with the Hixon-oldfather prediction
mandiular arch only
Needs periapical radiographs
what is the most practical way to do space analysis
Tanaka and Johnston method
