Test #3 Flashcards
In ortho, the bond b/w the bond and the enamel is chemical or mechanical
mechanical
Dr. Angle introduced what appliance, when
Edgewise, 1928
Dr. Andrews introduced what appliance when
Modern straight wire appliance, early 1970s
Edgewise appliances character
Fixed, multibanded, bonded appliances with multiple wire bends
What was required in the wires for the Edgewise appliance
1st order, 2nd order, 3rd order bends
First order do what to teeth
rotate
Second order do what to teeth
intrusion/extrusion
Third order do what to teeth
torque buccal/lingual
Synonym for first order bends and how are they directed
In Out Bends, labio-lingual offsets on archwire in the horizontal plane
Synonym for second order bends and how are they directed
Tipping Bends, offsets on archwire in the Vertical plane to change angulation mesio-distally
Synonym for third order bends and how are they directed
Torquing Bends, placed in a rectangular archwire to change bucco-lingual or labio-lingual inclination of a tooth
How do Straight wire appliances work
prescribed for individual tooth with a certain thickness base and angulation of the slot to the long axis of the tooth both in the M-D and B-L all incorporated into the bracket
Theory of straight wire appliance
No need for 1st(rotating bends), 2nd (tipping bends), or 3rd (Torquing bends) order bends in the wire
Do orthodontists still do bends w/ straight wire appliances
yes, do finishing bends and detailing bends b/c teeth do not have ideal anatomy
Contemporary Fixed appliance set up
stainless steel bands and bracket
Stainless steel bands usually put on which teeth
Molars and second premolars
3 general types of contemporary brackets
Metal, Ceramic, Self-Ligating
What can metal brackets be made of
Stainless Steel, titanium, gold
Advantage of ceramic brackets
esthetics
What are self ligating brackets
special locking mechanism built on the bracket to engage the archwire in the slot eliminating the need for ligature
What is a ligature
the rubber o-ring that holds the wire in the bracket
2 most commonly used bracket slot sizes
0.018 X 0.025 “ 0.022 X 0.028 “
Band definition for the layman
metal that surrounds the whole tooth
Bracket for the layman
little piece that sits on the front of the tooth
When see bonding in Ortho should think what
putting bracket on the facial of a tooth
What has allowed brackets to be placed as far back as the molars
direct bonding technique
What attachments are preferred for the anterior teeth
bonded
What attachments are preferred for the premolars and molars
banded or bonded
Which is more complicated banding or bonding & why
Banding because it requires tooth separation, fitting of the band, and cementing the band
Purpose of Separation
slightly loosen tight interprox contacts b/w teeth to create space to fit bands at the following appointment
How long separation in children
1 week
How long separation in adulst
2 weeks
Most popular separator
elastics
What separator to use w/ tight interproximals
brasswire and metal springs
Is band one size fits all and does it have
attachments
No, they are preformed w/ prewelded attachments
General fitting of the band
you are stretching the stainless steel band over the tooth so that it is tight, but not so tight as to break it
2 most common cements used to cement the bands
Zinc phosphate Glass ionomer
Why are glass ionomer cements popular
elease fluoride ions to help minimize decalcification
how is bonding achieved in ortho
mechanical locking of adhesive to surface irregularities in enamel and to the meshed base of the orthodontic bracket
3 steps of bracket bonding
etch Prime
Place resin loaded bracket and light cure
Etch w/ what material
37% phosphoric acid
Purpose of etch
create surface irregularities on enamel to enhance bonding
What do self-etching primers do
combine etch and prime steps
What are “tooth size problems “
when there is space to adjust but not so much as to need tooth removal
how fix tooth size problems
can go interproximally and shave off enamel (up to 3mm ?)
Why are brackets good for ortho “tooth size” problems
leave the interproximal surface accessible for modification
Which are less prone to irritate gingiva or cause white spot lesions, bands or brackets
brackets
If tooth will receive heavy intermittent force against attachments (e.g. max first molar w/ headgear) what is placed, band or bracket
band
