Tx of trauma from occlusion Flashcards

1
Q

when is the best time to treat traumatic occlusal forces

A

Best time to do it is after SRP

We want to wait until all the inflammation is gone because inflammation leads to mobility

Q

primary TFO results in _ PDL

primary TFO - excessive forces (e.g. high amalgam restoration, bruxism)
on normal periodontium (no bone loss)

A

widened PDL space

we want to put the forces in the axial direction
reducing PDL space and injury

A

occlusal trauma on a reduced periodontium

Q

Occlusal adjustment: general concepts

  1. _ so that CR-to-CO is not an inclined deflective contact
  2. _ of forces to prevent jigglying buccolingual forces
  3. reduction of wear facets by _ _ _
  4. NO _ contacts
  5. working contacts = _ guided if possible. _ if needed(with less force on molars)
  6. Protrusive: anterior contacts no _ protrusive contacts
A
  1. long centric
  2. axial loading of forces
  3. grooving, spheroiding, pointing
  4. no non-working balancing contacts
  5. canine guided if possible, group function if needed
  6. no posterior protrusive contacts

Q

steps in comprehensive occlusal adjustment by selective grinding

  1. _ hit and slide - eliminate or reduce
  2. non-working side “balancing inferences
  3. working contacts
  4. protrusive contacts
  5. sharp or irregular incisal edges
  6. _ all teeth that were adjusted
A
  1. CR-CO hit and slide - eliminate
  2. eliminate them
  3. canine guide smooth and gliding
  4. anterior
  5. recontour them
  6. polish all teeth that were adjusted

Q

what jaw position do we adjust in

jaw positioning
contact relationships
occlusal adjustment in _

16
Q

CR; patient determined

chair at _ degrees
patient open
ask patient to place tongue on _
patient closes into centric

A

chair at 60degrees

tongue on soft palate

17
Q

CR-CO deflection

direction: _ (upper or lower jaw) guides anterior and vertical

CR relation interferences usually the _ inclines maxillary against the _ inclines mandibular

A

mandible guides anterior and vertical

more than 2mm it is difficult to get a long centric relation

mesial inclines maxillary
against distal inclines mandibular - forward displacement so we trim those areas

18
Q

possible contact relationships

_ is ideal
_ acceptable
_ _ not good
_worse
_ worst
A

cusp to fossa ideal

cusp to flat area - acceptable

cusp to incline and cusp to embrasure not good

incline to incline worse

cusp to cusp worst

19
Q

flatten _ contacts to establish long centric

A

flatten inclined contacts

By adjusting the inclines we are able to get the cusp in the fossa

20
Q

reduce _
As teeth wear due to diet, parafunctional habits, age, they tend to become flattened

So we recontour the teeth - slightly smaller tooth with the same anatomical proportions

Within the scoop of not affecting the dentin

A

reduce wear facets

21
Q

CR doesn’t = CO

it is usually the mesial of max and distal of mandi so the premature posterior contact causes the mandible to displace in which direction

A

anteriorly

22
Q

CR mandibular cusp tip to incline

solution?

A

flatten maxillary mesial incline

23
Q

incline to incline contact

solution

A

recontour both maxillary mesial incline and mandibular distal incline

24
Q

when do you spheroid the maxillary palatal cusp

A

prematurity in centric, working and nonworking

25
Q

premature contact in centric only, working and nonworking are okay

A

deepen the fossa

26
Q

CR incline to incline contact on both maxillary and mandibular holding cusps

A

recontour cusp inner inclines (not cusp tips)

27
Q

incline to incline premature contact on maxillary palatal holding cuso

A

recontour both cusp inclines max and mandi

28
Q

incline to incline premature contact on mandibular buccal holding cusps

A

recontour both cusp inclines

29
Q

as a general rule do not reduce a _ cusp tip

A

holding or functional cusp tip

buccal of mandi
lingual of max

adjust on inclines

30
Q

flatten the cusp tip on when there is a _ relationship, then place the contact on flat areas

A

cusp to embrasure

31
Q

non-working side contacts = _ = _trusive

balancing is a denture term to stablize denture
these interferences are not desireable for natureal dentition (cause _ forces)

A

balanacing = mediotrusive

cause lateral jiggling forces

32
Q

rule or adjusting non-working-balanacing-mediotrusive contacts

A

we want to eliminate all

PUBL - functional cusps

palatal upper
buccal lower

33
Q

working-side contacts
canine guided is possible

group function is acceptable if posterior teeth not compromised

_ working slide contacts are interferences

decrease frictional contact

A

cross tooth (lingual cusp) working side

34
Q

rule for adjusting working side contacts

A

BULL

max inner incline buccal cusp

mand inner incline lingual cusp

35
Q

protrusive contacts should have _ guidance and no _ interferences

if there are which to eliminate?

A

anterior guidance

no posterior interferences

BULL
maxillary buccal
mandi lingual
nonfunctional

36
Q

polishing sequence
use _ midgets then _ midgets (color)

use fine _
make certain patient is comfortable

then follow-up _ months after

A

green

brown

fine polish

1 month follow up- allows tooth stabilization, refine adjustment

37
Q

appliance for the immobilization or stabilization of injured or diseased parts

A

periodontal splints

38
Q

these are indications for _

to immobilizae excessively mobile (class 2/3) teeth by sharing forces with more stable teeth

to stablize teeth in their new position after orthodontic treatment

A

periodontal splints

out come of spliting - while they stablize teeth, they do not decrease individual tooth mobility once the splint is removed
