Q

What are the main issues with impacted teeth (non third molar)

A
  • Cause root root resorption of adjacent teeth
  • Cysts associated with them may also cause resorption

Reversible - the tooth spontaneously frees itself and erupts into occlusion. Deciduous tooth remains with distal surface partly resorbed.

Irreversible - permanent molar stays locked into the pack of the E, resulting in premature exfoliation of E. If not tx provided space is lost.

“Resistance to unwanted tooth movement”

138
Q

When rebonding lingual retainers it is important that they are bonded:

a) actively
b) passivey

A

b) passively!

Should just be sitting against the tooth - no force! If you can’t achieve this - refer!

139
Q

What way should you seat patient to assess skeletal classification?

A

Q

What are 2x4 devices used to tx?

A

Anterior crossbite

141
Q

What is this, what does it do, how does it work?

A

Lingual holding arch. Maintains space by preventing molars from migrating forward. Also used to resolve anterior crowding

142
Q
A
143
Q

What is this? What does it do?

A

Trans-palatal arch.

Helps de-rotate 6s, and can be activated to do expansion at molars.

144
Q

What is this? What does it do?

A

Quad helix. Arch expansion and de-rotation but mostly through tooth tipping.

Good for crossbites.

145
Q

What is this and what is it used for?

A

Anterior bite plane.

Correct deep bite by allowing posterior eruption.

146
Q

What this device?

A

Hyrax device.

Arch expannder

147
Q

What is this and what is it used for?

A

Twin Blocks.

Removable class 2 device.

Q

What is this?

A

Herbst fixed functional device.

For class II

149
Q

If primary molars are lost after the age of , the impact on space is likely to be less significant.

A

9

150
Q

Sequelae of loss of arch length (due to early primary molar loss)

A
  • Crowding
  • Ecropic eruption
  • Palatal impaction
  • Crossbite formation
  • Centreline discrepancies
151
Q

6 contraindications for space maintainers

A
  • When the permanent successor is about to erupt
  • Where parent or child cooperation and/or oral hygiene, dental care is doubtful
  • There are missing permanent teeth
  • When there is a well-developed occlusion with cuspal interdigitation or where over-eruption of opposing teeth will prevent space closing
  • In the mandibular arch Class III with spaced arch
  • Severe crowding
152
Q

List 3 fixed unilateral space maintainers

A
  • Band and loop
  • Crown and loop
  • Distal shoe
153
Q

List 4 fixed and bilateral space maintainers

A
  • Lingual arch
  • Palatal arch
  • Nance button
  • Lip bumper
154
Q

What is this?

Band and loop

155
Q

What is this?

A

Distal shoe

156
Q

A four year old is missing a second primary molar. In your judgement, is the child in need of a space maintainer .

A

Yes. To prevent mesial eruption of 6. But check first that the 5s are present.

Use a distal Shoe.

157
Q

Does this situation require a space maintainer?

A

Yes. Distal shoe.

158
Q

A 6 year old child is missing their mandibular right first primary molar. In your judgement is the child in need of a space maintainer? If so, would you use a removal or a fixed space maintainer?

A

Yes. Band and loop. Fixed due to compliance.

Will prevent midline shift.

159
Q

Is a space maintainer required here?

A

No because symmetrical but could consider for aesthetics and function

160
Q

What is the leeway space in the maxilla?

A

0.9-1.5mm per side

161
Q

What is the leeway space in the mandible?

A

1.7-2.5mm per side

162
Q

Q

Odontoma with an orderly fashion of tooth like structure. Commonly seen in anterior maxilla.

A

Compound odontoma

164
Q

Odomtoma with disordered tissues, commonly seen in posterior mandible

A

Complex odontoma

165
Q

Which of these is not a type of supernumerary:

a) Peg/Conical
b) Odontoma
c) Supplemental
d) Tuberculate
e) Comparable

A

e)

166
Q

Managment of submerged (ankylosed) teeth.

A

Usually due to missing successor.

Discuss with ortho or pros. Surgical removal with minimum damage to alveolus if followed by ortho.

167
Q

About 2% of the population suffer from an unerupted maxillary canine, and about % palatal.

A

85%

168
