week 2 Flashcards
why treat oral disease
Life is less satisfying
ability to interview for a job is lower
is malocclusion a disease
No, a spectrum due to biologic variability/diversity
when is malocclusion found
When deviation from the normal reaches certain severity degree
what percent of the population has malocclusion
35% normal
60% maloclusion (20% mild, 20% moderate, 20% severe)
5% handicapped
what are the aspects of maloclusion
Sagittal/anteroposterior Verticle/horizontal plane transverse Intra-arch (crowding/spacing/rotation) Soft tissue problems
how does NHANES III determine malocclusion
Incisor irregularity Overbite/open bite overjet for molar class Post cross bite Midline diastema greater than 2mm
why does mandibular crowding increase with age
3rd molar eruption
what is overjet
maxillary incisors forward from the mandibular incisors
how does overjet related to Malocclusion
OFten a surrogate measurement for class II malocclusion decreased overjet is a surrogate for class II molocclsuion
what happens to mild class II from childhood to adolescence
decreases
what happens to mild class III from childhood to adolscence
increases
why does Mild class II decrease, and mild class III increase
Differential jaw growth
Leeway/E space
what race tends to be class II
European americans
what race tends to be class II
African americans
Hispanic americas
what is overbite
The amount that a max incisor goes over the mandibular incisor
why does deep bite decrease from childhood to adult
Verticle diminsion is the last to increase
why does posterior cross-bite increase
Transverse is the first to icnrease except in the molar region
commonness of Normal Class I occlusion
30-35%
commonness of Class I malocclusion
50-55%
commonnes of Class II malocclusion
15-20%
commonness of Class III malocclusion
1%
what causes malocclusion
Development of interaction of multiple factors (not pathologic)
how do heritable estimate change with increasing age for skeltal and dental cariables
Increase for skeletal
decrease for dental
where is inheritance particularily strong in the craniofacial
mandibular prognathism
followed by long face pattern of facial development
how does hereditary affect brothers
OFten mirror images of each other
what agent can affect pre-netal development
Teratogens
biological agents
Radiation
