Dental arch discrepancies pg 49-57 Flashcards
(82 cards)
Planes in which discrepancies are measured
- Transverse
- Sagittal
- Vertical
Transverse discrepancies are evaluated according to
Sagittal plane
In the anterior segment of the dental arch, the incisive point shift to the left or right is measured
in mm
In the posterior segment of the dental arch, the anterior and posterior arch widths are evaluated with
Ponts method
Anterior arch width measuring point in maxilla (P:P)
Deepst part of central sulcus of first permanent premolars
Anterior arch width measuring point in manible (P:P)
Contact point between first and second permanent premolars buccally
Posterior arch width measuring point in maxilla (M:M)
Midpoint of MB fissure of first permanent molar
Posterior arch width measuring point in Mandible (M:M)
Tip of DB cusp of first permanent molar
Maxillary and mandibular points correspond in central occlusion in
Ideally aligned arches
If M:M and P:P values are greater than normal
Arch expanded
If M:M and P:P values are smaller than normal
Arch constricted
Sagittal discrepancies are assessed with
Transverse plane
In sagittal discrepancies an increase in P:P results in
Lengthened dental arch
In sagittal discrepancies an decrease in P:P results in
Shortened dental arch
Measurement of P:P sagittal discrepancies
Line from buccal surfaces of central incisors to first premolars
Measurement of M:M sagittal discrepancies
- Line from buccal surfaces of central incisors to first premolars
- Mesial displacement If left and right lines dont match
Maxillary canine, premolar and molar positions are evaluated according to
Palatine rugae
Stable morphological trait
Transverse palatine folds(palatine rugae)
In arches with normal shape, the canines are positoned across the
first lateral ruga
According to krumova, used to evaluate sagittal displacement of teeth
First palatine ruga
Evaluating the maxillary canine position to the first palatine ruga by
Van der Linden
Evaluation of maxillary canine position according to first palatine ruga
- Line drawn from M+D points to lowest point of canine gingival margin and then to tip
- Canine measured as normal, mesial or distal to palatine fold
Ideal position of canine according to Van der Linden
First palatine rugae lies on a vertical line between canines
- Constant position
- Prediction of canine eruption during develpment of permanent dentition
First palatine fold use
