def
classifications

dental crossbite

skeletal crossbite
-teeth in wrong place

-palate too narrow
overbite
-deep bite. excessive overlap of ant teeth
-(should contact at cingulum)
over jet
-horizontal space btw upper/lower incisors
3 major categories of ortho records
-health
-alignment, occlusal relationships
-facial, jaw proportions (cephs and photos)
inadequate attached gingiva around crowded incisors indicates the possibility of
-tissue dihiscence developing after teeth are aligned
Evaluation of Jaw (4)
-mastication difficulties
-swallowing (infantile vs somatic?)
-speech problems
-jaw function
Micro-Esthetics:
tooth proportions (2)
-golden proportion (width relationships)
-width of tooth should = 80% of height
Malocclusion causes:
embryologic (2)
- <1%
-genetic disturbances, environmental insults
Malocclusion causes:
skeletal growth disturbances (3)
-intrauterine molding
-trauma to mand during birth
-childhood fractures to jaw
Malocclusion causes:
muscle dysfunction
-bone formation depends on muscle activity. Growth should carry jaw downward and forward
Malocclusion causes:
acromegaly
-excessive mand growth
-condylar cart proliferation
Malocclusion causes:
hemimandibular hypertrophy (4)
-unknown etiology
-unilateral excessive growth of mand
-condylar cart proliferation
-common in females 15-20
cleidocranial dysplasia (dysostosis) (3)
-congenital defect
-deficient formation of skull and clavicle
-involves multiple supernumerary teeth
Malocclusion causes:
genetic (2)
-disproportion btw size of teeth and size of jaws --> crowding/spacing
-disproportion btw size or shape of upper/lower jaws --> improper occlusion
rate of malocclusion in the US is _________ compared to the rest of the world
-very high!!
Adenoid Facies
-altered respiratory pattern (eg. breathing through mouth) could change posture of head, jaw, tongue and :. alter jaw growth or tooth position
who established cephs in the US?
when
-Broadbent
-1931
Standard Ceph arrangement (2)
-source to subject (midsagittal plane) = 150cm (5ft)
-pt (MS plane) to cassette = 15cm
teeth move when...(3)
-cells in PDL respond to pressure
-bone is resorbed/laid down
-PDL is reorganized
what causes bony changes?
-pressure-> cell shape distortion-> bioelectric changes
...such as:
-pizoelectric bursts (??)
-ionic migration across cell membrane
-fluid flow, streaming potentials
osteoblasts respond to ______ and _____ bone

osteoclasts respond to ____ and _____ bone
-tension; build

-pressure; resorb
Effects of applied light force (3)
-osteoclasts w/in PDL differentiate
-osteoclasts attack LD (lamina dura) and remove bone
-movement begins
