8.Delivery And Nutrition In Infancy Period As Factors Influencing Development Of Malocclusion Flashcards
(21 cards)
Delivery And Nutrition In Infancy-Factors Influencing Development
How the process of delivery influences the formation of malocclusion in infants
- Birth trauma and subsequent malformations
- Trauma to mandible by use of forceps during difficult births=>
- Damage to TMJs and potential ankylosis=>
- Mandibular micrognathia or facial asymmetries due to heavy pressure or fractures of condyles
- Obstetric procedures such as manual mouth manipulation to ease passage through birth canal=>
- Temporarily deform or permanently damage maxilla and premaxillary region
Delivery And Nutrition In Infancy-Factors Influencing Development
Potential consequences of birth trauma to the mandible
- Ankylosis of TMJ=>
- Mandibular micrognathia
- Heavy pressure or fractures of condyles during delivery=>
- Subsequent underdevelopment of mandible
Delivery And Nutrition In Infancy-Factors Influencing Development
How forceps delivery specifically can impact the formation of malocclusion
- Causes temporary or permanent damage to maxilla and premaxillary region=>
- Obstetricians inserting fingers into baby’s mouth to ease passage through birth canal=>
- Crossbite
- Asymmetric molar occlusion, or other malocclusions
Delivery And Nutrition In Infancy-Factors Influencing Development
Associations observed between specific delivery methods and malocclusion formation
- Traumatic breech delivery=>increased asymmetric molar occlusion
- Prolonged oro-tracheal intubation of pre-term infants=> airway damage, palatal groove formation, defective primary incisors, and acquired cleft palate
- Mechanical ventilation or inadequate nutrition=> Delayed eruption of primary teeth in pre-term infants
Delivery And Nutrition In Infancy-Factors Influencing Development
Main types of nutrients in food and their functions in the body
- Macronutrients
- Micronutrients=>
- Vitamins and minerals=>
- Regulate body processes
- Support tissue development
- Repair and maintenance
Delivery And Nutrition In Infancy-Factors Influencing Development
Macronutrients
- Include lipids, carbohydrates, and protein
- Provide energy and materials for body tissues
Delivery And Nutrition In Infancy-Factors Influencing Development
Micronutrients
- Consist of vitamins and minerals
- Regulate body processes, support tissue development, repair, and maintenance
Delivery And Nutrition In Infancy-Factors Influencing Development
Dental effects of specific nutrient deficiencies
- Vitamin C deficiency=>odontoblast atrophy and irregular dentine
- Vitamin A deficiency=>cleft lip and palate formation, hyperkeratosis, and periodontal pockets
- Deficiencies in vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and iron=>enamel and dentine hypoplasia, improper tooth and bone formation, glossitis, fissures
Delivery And Nutrition In Infancy-Factors Influencing Development
How the consistency of food affects dental development
- Lack of hard food for proper mastication=>
- Narrower maxillary arches
- Shorter mandibles
- Thinner condyles
- Lower eruption levels in posterior segment
- Consistent consumption of soft foods=>
- Dental malpositioning=>
- Insufficient stimulation for proper jaw growth and muscle development
Delivery And Nutrition In Infancy-Factors Influencing Development
Role of suckling in facial growth and muscle stimulation
- Forward growth of mandible and stimulation of facial muscles=>
- Proper development of jaw structures and muscular tonicity in facial area
- Contributes to overall facial growth and development
Delivery And Nutrition In Infancy-Factors Influencing Development
Consequence of trauma to the mandible during difficult births
Mandibular micrognathia or facial asymmetries due to heavy pressure or fractures of condyles.
Effect obstetric procedures can have on the maxilla
Temporarily deform or permanently damage the maxilla and premaxillary region.
Delivery And Nutrition In Infancy-Factors Influencing Development
Potential outcome of obstetricians inserting fingers into a baby’s mouth
Crossbite
Delivery And Nutrition In Infancy-Factors Influencing Development
Can be observed with traumatic breech delivery
Increased asymmetric molar occlusion.
