Q

5 phases of Arch/dentition development

A

Phase 1- eruption of permanent 1st molars, man to max

Phase 2-eruption of permanent anterior teeth, c to l

Phase 3-eruption of permanent premolars (primary molars gone)
Important phase bc of leeway space

Phase 4-eruption of permanent canines and 2nd molars
*canine is final tooth to stabilize arch (completes arch/dentition)
*max. Canine last to be replaced @ 12 years old.
*Before arrival of canine, position transient (short time)

Phase 5-eruption of third molars

Q

Chronological order of teeth coming in very important

A

25
Q

Universal Tooth Numbering System

A

Primary A-T

Permanent 1-32

26
Q

Dentition Periods

A

Primary:
6 months by eruption of Mandibular central incisors
Completed at 2 years by eruption of Mandibular Mandibular first molar

Mixed:
6 years by eruption of Mandibular first molar
12 years by exfoliation of maxillary canine

Permanent:
12 years by exfoliation of maxillary canine to death

27
Q

Anatomy of tooth

A

Made predominantly of dentin covered by enamel on crown and cementum on root

28
Q

Anatomical crown/root

A

What exists in nature
Crown=portion of tooth covered by enamel
Root=portion of tooth visible in oral cavity

29
Q

Clinical crown/root

A

What we see

Crown=portion of tooth visible in oral cavity
Root=only seen when there’s recession

30
Q

Malocclusion

A

Lack of overall ideal form in the dentition while in centric occlusion

31
Q

Dental classification of malocclusion based on

A

Based on relationship of teeth
Usually canine and first molars

32
Q

Angles classification system

A

Classified malocclusion based on canine and 1st molars

33
Q

Class 1 malocclusion

A

Mesognathic

Mesial buccal cusp of maxillary first molar has to occlude in mesiobuccal groove of Mandibular first molar

Maxillary canine occludes between Mandibular canine and first premolar

34
Q

Class II malocclusion

A

Mandible is retruded by width of premolar

Division I-anterior teeth protruded, palate narrow and high (retrognathic)
“Overbite”

Division II-maxillary central incisors upright and slightly retruded (mesognathic like class I)
Lateral incisor overlaps maxillary central incisors

35
Q

Class III Malocclusion

A

Mandible protruded at least by width of premolar (prognathic facial profile)

Canine and mesial buccal groove move anteriorly

36
Q

Seen in cornonal view

Maxillary convex

Mandibular concave

38
Q

Contact area (specifically same arch)

A

Very important

Support tooth in position by 2 neighboring teeth and protects interdental gingiva

Protects food from plunging into space and causing destruction by infection

39
Q

Primary teeth roots usually

A

Flare and diverge to accommodate the crown of permanent replacement

40

____ cusp of Mandibular teeth occlude with _____ cup of maxillary teeth to protect soft tissue (don’t bite cheek)

A

Buccal
Lingual

41
Q

43
Q

Mandibular lateral incisor

A
