16
Q

the distance from the mesial contact of one first permanent molar to its antimere as measured through the contact points or buccal cusp tips of all of the intervening teeth, ignoring those teeth that are malpositioned or blocked out so that the measurement represents an ideal arch form

A

Arch Circumference

17
Q

Changes in the arch

A
  • Expansion at Canine Regions

- Anterior Teeth More Forward

18
Q

Leeway Space

A
  1. 5 mm mand

1. 5 mm max

19
Q

Common Characteristics

of a Mixed Dentition

A
  • Ugly Duckling

- Incisor Liability

20
Q

How to test growth

A
  • Hand wrist film

- Cervical vertebrae

21
Q
  • Eruption before emerging into oral cavity
  • Eruption “movements” begin as soon as the roots begin to develop (Significance? Metabolic activity in the PDL?)
  • Requirements
    1. Resorption of bone and primary tooth
    2. Eruption mechanism must guide tooth to erupt
A

Preemergent Eruption

22
Q

deficient resorption of bone and primary teeth, supernumerary teeth, fibrous gingiva

A

Cleidocranial Dysplasia

23
Q

If no resorption or if there is an obstruction…

A

tooth will not erupt

24
Q
  • “Eruption mechanism” must guide tooth to erupt
  • Mechanical Obstruction
  • “________” have bone resorption, crowns appear in mouth, but teeth never erupt enough to occlude
A

Primary failure of eruption

25
Q

Does bone resorption induce the “eruptive mechanism”?

_________

A

NO, BUT need the bone cleared

26
Q

Does the “eruptive mechanism” induce bone resorption?

A

Appears that follicle signals for bone resorption but still need “eruptive mechanism” to be functioning in order for the tooth to erupt

27
Q

Theories of Tooth eruption

What induces teeth to erupt?

A

Possible Mediators

  • Pressure from developing tissue at apex.
  • Direct bone formation
  • Dental Follicle
  • Periodontal Ligament-Contraction of Fibers, Myofibroblasts
28
Q
  • Usually emerge when ¾ of root complete
  • Eruption of teeth until occlusal level is reached.
  • Postemergent Spurt
  • Juvenile Occlusal Equilibrium
  • 2-3 years after eruption, roots are completely formed
A

-Postemergent eruption

29
Q
  • Rapid eruption from penetration of the gingiva to occlusal level
  • Eruption timing? (Possibly more in the late evening 8 PM – 1 AM)
A

Postemergent Spurt

30
Q

Teeth erupt slowly – seem to parallel the growth of the mandibular ramus

A

Juvenile Occlusal Equilibrium

31
Q

the roots of primary teeth lose their normal attachment to the bone and become fused directly to the bone.

A

Ankylosis

32
Q

Diagnosis of ankylosis

A
  • Percussion
  • Dipping of the interproximal bone
  • Abnormal infraocclusion of the occlusal plane
33
Q

ntal age is a developmental age scale, based on three things:

A
  • Which teeth have erupted
  • The amount of crown or root development of the permanent teeth
  • The degree of root resorption of the primary teeth
34
Q

Dental age has a loose correlation with chronologic age. ______ is more important than age.

A

Sequence
