Q

True or false… in the transverse dimension, buccal segments of class 2 patients often appear normal.

A

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.

Q

What is functional jaw orthopedics?

A

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.

Q

Why is repeated advancement of FJO appliances required?

A

The lateral pterygoid activation causes adaptive growth response at the condyle. However, the lateral pterygoid activity decreases after 6-8 weeks.

27
Q

What are 3 treatment considerations for Type C horizontal class 2

A

Complex skeletal and dentoalveolar considerations

Extraction of upper and lower bicuspids, orthodontics + functional appliance

30
Q

What are 2 treatment considerations for Type F horizontal class 2?

A

Surgery: mandibular advancement (non-growing patient)

31
Q

When is functional appliance therapy indicated?

A

The primary indication for FJO is mandibular skeletal protrusion

Functional appliances remove abnormal and restrictive muscular activity that prevents the normal development of the maxilla and mandible as well as appropriate development of dental arches

32
Q

Greater mandibular length is obtained when functional appliance treatment is performed during…

A

The circumpubertal growth period

Ideally, functional appliance therapy should be started in the late mixed dentition or early permanent dentition followed by Phase 2 therapy to align the permanent dentition. (It may be imitated in early mixed dentition for pts who have severe problems)

33
Q

In the absence of severe dentoskeletal compensations, functional appliance therapy, when should FJO be initiated?

A

At the beginning of cervical vertebrae maturation stage CS3 to maximize the treatment effects and reduce the need for posttreatment retention

34
Q

What are the two basic types of functional appliances commonly used today?

A

Tooth born and tissue born

The only tissue born is the functional regulator - Frankel 2

All others are tooth born (herbst, twin block, bionator, MARA)

35
Q

What are some of the effects commonly seen with tooth-born functional appliances?

A

Increase in mandibular length

Maxillary molars move distally

Mandibular molars move mesially

Maxillary incisors tip lingually

Mandibular incisors procline

36
Q

Name three examples of removable functional appliances

A

Activator

Bionator

Twin block

37
Q

Name two fixed functional appliances

A

Herbst

MARA

38
Q

Name 4 situations that usually require orthodontic treatment prior to FJO

A

Severe maxillary constriction

Deep impinging bite

Maxillary incisor retroclination and mandibular incisor proclination and spacing

Moderate to severe crowding

39
Q

Why should severe maxillary constriction be treated before FJO? How is this accomplished?

A

It is often advantageous to expand the maxilla prior to class 2 correction to allow the buccal segments to appropriately interdigitate in the final class 1 position. This can be done with a rapid palatal expander prior to FJO.

40
Q

Why should a deep impinging bite be treated prior to FJO? How is this accomplished?

A

In order to allow for forward posturing of the mandible, deep impinging bites should be corrected utilizing a utility arch to intrude, tip, or reposition the incisors.

41
Q

Why should maxillary incisor retroclination and mandibular incisor proclination and spacing be treated prior to FJO? How is this accomplished?

A

Over 30% of class 2 patients present with maxillary incisors in a retroclined position. This inclination problem must be corrected to allow appropriate mandibular advancement. In addition, flaring as well as spacing of the lower incisors must be corrected to allow for maximum mandibular advancement

42
Q

Why should moderate to severe crowding be corrected prior to FJO? How is this accomplished?

A

Space supervision or serial extraction may be required depending on the severity of the upper and lower dental crowding

43
Q

Bionators are classified in three categories. What are they?

A

Bionators to open,

Maintain

Or close the bite

44
Q

True or false… in both types of Herbst appliances, a hyrax-type screw may be included to expand the maxilla as the mandible is positioned forward

A

True

45
Q

Step-by-step mandibular advancement is achieved with the Herbst appliance by adding ___ to the mandibular part of the bite jumping mechanism

A

Shims

46
Q

Describe the MARA design

A

Although modifications can be made to accommodate upper or lowe rexpansion, a trans palatal arch, a lower lingual arch, intrusion mechanics, and asymmetric cases, the basic MARA design is as follows:

Four crowns on the first molars
Arms soldered to the lower crowns
Archwire tube for upper and lower arches soldered to all crowns

Upper elbows shimmed to provide the desired advancement

Lower lingual arch soldered to crowns
Option specs includes occlusal holes to assist with crown removal

47
Q

Typically, a MARA device produces ___% skeletal change and ___% Dental change

A

47% (mainly increase in mandibular length)

53% (mainly due to distalization of maxillary molars)

48
Q

A Forsus appliance provides a mesial and intrusive force on the ___ arch and a distal and intrusive force on the ___ arch.

A

Mandibular

Maxillary

49
Q

In an untreated class 2 patient, there is about a ___% chance of a favorable change in the class 2 relationship, a ___% chance of no change, and a ___% chance the condition will worsen

A

30%

50%

15%

50
Q

Functional appliance or headgear treatment has shown a __-__% chance of producing a favorably or highly favorable result and about a __% chance of no change

A

70-80%

20%

51
Q

What is the best scenario to do class 2 camouflage treatment?

A

Pt is too old for growth modification

Mild-moderate skeletal discrepancy

Reasonably good alignment of teeth

Good vertical proportions

Reasonably good facial esthetics

Overjet that results more from maxillary protrusion than mandibular retrusion

It is most appropriately used when the patient has a mild class 2 skeletal relation with a class 2 dental malocclusion.

52
Q

What is the typical treatment for class 2 camouflage treatment?

A

Extraction of upper first bicuspids and lower second bicuspids (or only extraction of upper first bicuspids)

53
Q

Since skeletal class 2 problems are most often due to ___ or ___, surgical treatment usually consists of ___, ____, or ___.

A

Mandibular deficiencies

Clockwise rotation of the mandible due to excessive vertical growth of the maxilla

Mandibular advancement (66%)
Maxillary impaction (15%)
Or combination (20%)
54
Q

Larger than __mm of overjet in a non-growing patient usually suggests the need for surgical correction. This is especially tru if the lower incisors are ___ relative to the pogonion, the mandible is ___, or if the anterior face is too ___.

A

10mm

Protrusive

Short

Long

55
Q

If there is a significant dentofacial deformity, early orthognathic surgery may improve the health of the patient in regard to what things?

A

Speech

Airway

Anatomy

Occlusion

Esthetics

TMJ function

Masticatory function

Psycho-social factors

In the absence of a severe deformity, however, surgical mandibular advancement before the growth spurt is questionable. When the mandibular growth rate is normal, mandibular advancement can be stable due to continued normal growth of the mandible in its new position.
