What is an apical scar?

A

Normally surgical site fills with blood clot which mineralises and remodels like surrounding bone. In apical scar, this process fails to occur. If RCT was completed >8 months ago and there isn’t normal bone formation, it is considered apical scar.

Intramembranous ossification * Apposition of bone at sutures * Surface remodelling Until 7 years, growth is predominantly forwards from the cranial base pushing it forwards. When the cranium ceases its growth, maxilla growth is from sutural growth on the posterior and superior aspects. This growth pushes mx downwards and forwards. Resorption of anterior surface occurs

197
Describe balance between tongue and lip/cheek during swallowing
Tongue exerts more force against the teeth than the lip and cheek. However, this is only a very short amount of time and isn’t enough to cause tooth movement
198
**How does the PDL affect equilibrium?**
At rest, there is around 5g more force coming from the tongue than the lips/cheek. The PDL is able to withstand 5g of force to prevent tooth movement. Therefore the PDL is able to resist movement and teeth remain in equilibrium
199
**What is the threshold for orthodontic force?**
5-10g
200
**How does mobius syndrome affect equilibrium?**
In mobius syndrome, there is underdevelopment of cranial nerves 6 and 7. This can result in facial paralysis and inability to move eyes side to side. As there is paralysis of orbicularis oris muscle there is no force coming from the lip side, while there is still forward pressure from the tongue. This disrupts equilibrium and causes teeth to procline.
201
**How does thumb sucking affect arch width?**
Tongue isn't sitting high against palate so mx posterior teeth are not supported with tongue pressure anymore. Increased pressure against teeth from cheek side due to sucking, results in palatal tipping of mx posteriors. Can have narrow mx arch and posterior cross bite.
