25
what is a bitewing
shows the crowns of both arches on one film
26
what is a PA
shows the cown, roottop and surrounding structures
27
what is a panoramic scan
shows wide view of both upper and lower jaws
28
what is the difference between an objective fear and a subjective fear
subjective fear - based on feelings, attitudes and concerns that is suggested from peers and family members objective fears - learned fears related to the patients experience and their memories of those experiences
29
how are ortho and pediatric offices designed
open bay concept lots of distractions for patients
30
what is an activator
designed to mix materials together
31
what is a space maintainer
used to reserve space until the permanent tooth erupts
32
what is a mouth guard
protects the teeth during contact sports
33
what are the types of retainers
hawley - retains teeth in new position (normal) lingual - canine to canine and holds the anterior teeth in place
34
what are the functional appliances
bionator frankl appliance twin block herbst
35
what is a bionator
fits on the upper and lower teeth and positions the jaw forward
36
what is a frankl appliance
fixes malocclusions
37
what is a twin block
repositions the jaw
38
what is a herbst appliance
encourages lower jaw movement
39
what are the different malocclusions
overbite - max jaw overlaps mand jaw overjet - excessive protrusion of max incisors crossbite - max teeth are in lateral malalignment with teeth open bite - lack of vertical overlap creating an opening of anterior teeth underbite - mand teeth protruding in front of max anterior teeth ectopic - abnormal direction of tooth eruption
40
what is a panoramic scanner used for
used to view eruption process of primary and permanent teeth and amount of space available for eruption
41
what is a ceph scanner used for
extraoral radiographs that evaluates anatomical bases for malocclusionw
42
what are open contacts
enough space in between teeth in radiographs where teeth are not overlapping
43
at what age would prolonged habit cause malocclusion
beyond the age of 5
44
when should we begin to intercept and encourage discontinuing the habit for children
intercept beyond the stage of mixed dentition
45
describe why genetics affect dentition and how it can cause malocclusion
a child can inherit their parents teeth or jaw size - sizes do not align and cause overcrowding, poor occlusion
46
name environmental factors that can cause malocclusion
1. fetal moulding 2. trauma during birth\ 3. tongue thrusting 4. thumb and finger sucking 5. bruxism 6. mouth breathing
47
what ages will environmental factors affect dentition
beyond age of 5
48
how do you intercept some environmentl habits
bluegrass appliance
49
how are diagnostic casts fabricated and why are they useful
created manually with plaster or digitally - used for diagnosis of patient and analyze space of dentition
50
what is preventive ortho
allows dentist to prvent irregularities and malposition developing
51
what is interceptive ortho
allows dentist to correct problems as they develop
52
corrective ortho
improves existing problems with movement of teeth and malocclusions
53
what are serial extracts? why is it done and what does it entail
done to increase proper ratio between tooth size and arch - it is premature removal of teeth
54
what are the ortho stages
medical and dental history - undertand physical condition and ortho concerns physical growth evaluation - how fast child grows and signs of sexual maturity social and behavioural evaluation - patient eexpectations from treatment clinical exam - document, measure and evaluate facial aspects diagnostic records - photographs, rads, diagnostic casts case presentation - reviews info and develops a treatment plan and cost financial arrangement - formal contract for payment
55
what is a separator and why is it important
a device made from wire place in interproximal to separate molars before fitting bands
56
what is an arch wire
contoured wire that provides force to correct malalignment
57
how would you measure arch wires
trying it on patients diagnostic model
58
what are arch wires made of
stainless steel nickel titanium beta titanium optiflex
59
why are the make of arch wires important
serves asa a pattern for how the arch will take its shape
60
what are procedural steps for bonding brackets
1. tooth is cleaned with prophy cup and pumice 2. tooth is isolated with cotton roll 3. etchant gel is placed 4. ortho applies a liquid sealant 5. bonding material placed on back of bracket 6. ortho places bracket and moves it to place with scaler 7. ortho removes excess bonding material 8. document procedure
61
why do you use pumice prior to bonding apposed to prophy paste
provides more retention and roughness
62
what are the different power products and why theyre used
elastic chains - closes spaces between teeth elastics - helps close spaces between teeth and correct occlusal relationships elastic thread - tubing used to close or aid in eruption of impacted teeth comfort tubing - enhances patient comfort by covering arch wire
63
what is a headgear (components and when should you not wear headgears)
an appliance that can be used before braces to move and realign teeth - composed of face bow and traction device
64
what is an ortho scaler
places brackets and removes elastic rings
65
ligature scaler
guides elastic wire
66
band seater / scaler
seater - seats posterior metal bands scaler - removes excess cement and removes elastics
67
bite stick
seats molar bands
68
bracket forceps
carries and places bounded brackets
69
bird beak pliers
forms and bends wires
70
three pronged pliers
closes and adjusts clasps
71
contouring pliers
fits bands for fixed or removeable appliances
72
posterior band remover pliers
removes bands without placing stress on teeth
73
weingart utility pliers
placement of arch wires
74
pin and ligature wire cutter
cuts ligature wires
75
howe 110 pliers
manipulates ligature wires
76

78
band seater
helps seatin bands
79
mathieu needle holder
ties ligature and places elastics
80
wire bending pliers
cuts thin ligature wires
