Treatment Of Class 2 Cases Flashcards
Class 2 division 2 patients typically exhibit an ___ maxilla, a ____ mandible, an ___ growth pattern, ___ maxillary central incisors, and a ____ chin as well as a deep bite.
Orthognathic
Retrognathic and short
Brachyfacial
Retroclined
Relatively prominent
Class 2 patients are divided into 6 separate horizontal types and 5 vertical types based on various skeletal and dentalalveolar characteristics. What are the 6 horizontal types?
Type A: maxillary dental protraction
Type B: Maxillary prognathism, dental protraction
Type C: Maxillary retrognathism with flared or upright incisors; mandibular severe retrognathism with flared lower incisors
Type D: Maxillary retrognathism with dental protraction; severe mandibular retrognathism
Type E: Maxillary prognathism and dental protraction + mandibular dental flaring
Type F: Mandibular retrognathism
Class 2 patients are divided into 6 separate horizontal types and 5 vertical types based on various skeletal and dentalalveolar characteristics. What are the five vertical class types?
Type 1: mandibular plane steeper than normal, steeper functional occlusal plane, palate tipped somewhat downward, anterior cranial base tipped upward
Type 2: mandibular plane, functional occlusal plane, and palatal plane are all flatter than normal and are nearly parallel
Type 3: Palatal plane tipped upward anteriorly
Type 4: mandibular plane, the functional occlusal plane, and the palatal plane are all tipped markedly downward
Type 5: palatal plane is tipped downward; cranial base tipped downward
True or false… in the transverse dimension, buccal segments of class 2 patients often appear normal.
True. However, a 3-4mm transverse discrepancy usually exists at the level of the first molar due to a narrow maxillary arch. This is readily observable if the mandible is moved into the class 1 relationship at the molar.
Treatment options for vertical correction in growing class 2 patients could include…
In non-growing patients, surgical correction options such as…
Bite blocks and various types of headgear.
LeFort 1 maxillary impaction and alveolar procedures
___% of skeletal class 2 discrepancies are due to ____
75%
Mandibular retrognathia
___% of the US population have an overjet of greater than ___mm. ___% have an overjet between __-___mm. And 1/3rd of the population have class 2 occlusal discrepancies
15%
38%
What is Type A horizontal class 2 type?
Maxillary dental protraction
What is Type B horizontal class 2 type?
Maxillary prognathism
Dental protraction
What is Type C horizontal class 2 type?
Maxillary retrognathism with flared or upright incisors
Mandibular severe retrognathism with flared lower incisors
What is type D horizontal class 2 type?
Maxillary retrognathism with dental protraction
Severe mandibular retrognathism
What is Type E horizontal class 2 type?
Maxillary prognathism and dental protraction + mandibular dental flaring
What is type F horizontal Class 2 type?
Mandibular retrognathism
What are the 5 treatment options for class 2 malocclusion?
Extra-oral traction
Distalizing appliances
Functional jaw orthopedics (FJO)
Camouflage
Surgery
____ can be used when class 2 problems are dentoalveolar in nature. It corrects class 2 problems by moving the ____ distally into a class 1 relationship
Molar distalization
Maxillary first molar
Name 5 distalizing appliances that are usually very effective, because they require little, if any, cooperation from the patient
Plates
Pendulum (pendex)
Distal jet
Jones jig
Jasper jumper
What is functional jaw orthopedics?
FJO is the utilization of appliances that work by forward positioning of the mandible. This results in altering the activity of postural muscles of the craniofacial complex, causing changes in skeletal and dental relationships.
The goal is to enhance mandibular growth by allowing the full expression of the genetic potential and encouraging remodeling at the glenoid fossa.
Why is repeated advancement of FJO appliances required?
The lateral pterygoid activation causes adaptive growth response at the condyle. However, the lateral pterygoid activity decreases after 6-8 weeks.
Name 6 typical result s shown from FJO therapy
Condylar growth during treatment: 1-3mm
Fossa displacement, growth, and adaptation 3-5mm with a dominant vertical vector
Most favorable growth direction: 0.5-1.5mm
Withholding of downward and forward maxillary growth: 1-1.5mm
Differential upward and forward eruption of lower buccal segments:1.5-2.5mm
Headgear effect: 0-0.5mm
