describe zenith of centrals

26

27

28
what is the golden proportion
a comparative ratio used to determine sizes of maxillary anterior teeth
29
what is the golden proportion for central, lateral and canine
- central: 9mm - lateral: 9 x 0.618 = 5.56mm - canine: 5.56 x 0.618 = 3.44mm
30
what is the alternative tooth proportion ratio for central, lateral and canine
- central: 100% - lateral: 65% - canine: 85%
31
central incisor is _____ width to length
79%
32
what are the 3 common mistakes made when replacing maxillary anterior teeth
- flat facial aspect of the central incisors - lateral incisor is too wide OR lateral incisor is too narrow - flat incisal plane
33
if centrals are widened they will most likely need to be:
elongated for proportion
34
what characteristics do we examine in analyzing a persons smile-
- smile line: can be high, average, low - parallelism of maxillary incisal curve with lower lip - position of the incisal curve relative to touching the lower lip - the number of teeth displayed in the smile
35
what is included in a smile analysis
- overall length of maxillary teeth are displayed - interproximal gingiva shows - incisal curvature parallels the lip curvature - incisal curvature totally or slightly touches lower lip- within 2mm - 6 maxillary anterior and 2nd premolars are displayed - maxillary midline coincides with a harmonious balance of smile
36
describe the incisal curve
- incisal edges of the maxillary anterior teeth - parallels the inner curvature of the lower lip and interpupillary line - perpendicular to the facial/dental midline
37
describe the incisal edge position in the incisal curve
- central incisors and canines lie on the same curved line - incisal edges of laterals are 1mm short of this line - follows curve of lower lip - incisal curve touches the lower lip or within 2mm
38
describe a full smile
lip moves to incisor tooth-gingiva interface - 80% of young people show entire length of central incisors
39
describe the low lip line
less than 75% incisors showing with no gingival display
40
women have high smile line ____ as often as men
twice
41
what is another name for maxillary excessive gingival display
gummy smile
42
what are the reasons for maxillary excessive gingival display
- hyperactive lip - vertical maxillary excess - altered passive eruption - dentoalveolar extrusion
43
what is the normal movement of the upper lip
6-8mm
44
what is the hyperactive lip movement
up to 2 times the normal lip movementw
45
what is vertical maxillary excess
maxilla height is higher than normal - skeletal issue
46
what is dentoalveolar extrusion
over eruption of gingiva and bone due to conditions like tooth wear
47
what is altered passive eruption
a condition in which the free gingival margin fails to recede during tooth eruption to a level apical to the cervical convexity of the clinical crown
48
what is the average length of maxillary incisor exposed at rest for females and males
- females: 3.5mm - males: 2.0mm
49
what is the average length of maxillary incisor exposed at rest for younger persons and older persons
- younger: 3.4mm - older: 1.25mm
50
where do "F" and "V" sounds touch and what is this used to determine
inner edge of vermillion border on the wet-dry line - area used to determine position of incisal 1/3 of anterior maxillary incisors
51
where does "S" sound touch and what is it used to determine
- mandibular incisal edge is 1mm behind and below maxillary incisal edge - used to determine vertical dimension of speech
52
describe the dental midline
the maxillary midline coincides with the facial midline and is perpendicular to the interpupillary line
53
matching the maxillary midline to _____ is preferred but not always possible
mandibular midline
54
a maxillary midline deviation of ____ was necessary before ortho rated it significantly less esthetic than the others
4mm
55
orthodontists, general dentists and lay people can identify a ___ discrepancy in crown angulation
2mm
56
what is campers plane
a plane extending from the inferior border of the ala of the nose to the inferior point on the border of the tragus
57
the _______ typically coincides with campers plane
dental occlusal plane
58
what is the interpupillary line a reference for
incisal plane
59
the more distal in the arch, the ________ variations become
less noticeable
60
leaving a diastema is a:
personal preference
61
to treat a diastema, consider:
orthodontic movement as a conservative treatment first
62
where can left over space be hidden after doing crowns
behind canines
