L2 - Intraoral Assessment Flashcards
(46 cards)
angles classification - general
describing the relationship between upper and lower first permanent molars in the SAGITAL plane
- normal
- class I
- class II
- class III
class I malocclusion
normal relationship of the first molars, but malposed teeth, rotations, or other causes
Class II malocclusion
lower molar DISTALLY positioned relative to upper molar
end to end or full cusp
division 1-2 is in terms of
anterior relation
class II div i
all upper teeth in one row
proclined incisors
increased overjet
variable overbite
class II div ii
overbite increased
(overbite not)
retroclined incisors
’ relaxed profile’
class II subdivision
molar relationship is class II on one side and class I on the opposite side
class III malocclusion
lower molar mesially positioned relative to upper molar
associated with underbite
overbite
vertical overlap
incisal edge to incisal edge
1-2 mm
as bite deepens – what happens to overbite
increases
describe dental deep bite and causes
increased overbite
due to dental or skeletal problems
supereruption of maxillary or mandibular or both
lack of posterior stops – loss of VDO
dental openbite
negative overbite
infraeruption of incisors
dental or skeletal causes
associated with habits like thumb sucking and tongue thrusting
overjet –
horizontal overlap
distance in mm between incisal edge of upper incisor and labial surface of lower incisors
ideally 1-3
measured in outh with plastic ruler
normal Over jet
normal 1-3
moderate OJ
4-6
severe OJ
over 6mm
end on end overbite
0
overjet with anterior crossbite
reverse OJ or negative OJ values
typically causing midline deviations
crowding
premature loss of primary teeth (example of pre-mature loss of c’s)
mandibular shift
posterior crossbite
- general
- causes
no constiction of palate
teeth have tipped angulation
usually due to dental not skeletal
uni-or bilateral
narrow upper arch
wide mandible
due to functional mandibular shift
brodie bite
posterior - buccal crossbite
uppers hit the buccal of lowers
important aspects of the teeth we need to know
- number / impactions/ missing
- dental age
- size and shape (like peg laterals)
- tooth surface
- hypoplasia , anomolies - wear- excessive attrition?
how is the sequence of eruption on mixed dentition*** importance?
this gives us a lot of diagnostic information
TIP
include when is this value normally 0?
specific MD angulation along the vertical plane –
gingival portion aligned (0 degrees) or distal to occlusal
portion (positive tip)
looking at the permanent teeth
