Ortho revision notes Flashcards
Purpose of study models
pt motivators
to assess the pt’s occlusion
to design a URA
secondary opinion
tx planning
Advantages of ura
tipping teeth
excellent anchorage
pt can maintain oh
shorter chariside time than fixed
does not special training to fit applaince
can achieve block movements
non destructive of tooth tissue
Disadvantages of ura
specility training to design appliance and make
can only move one or two teeth
pt can easily reomove from mouth
cannot really achieve rotation movements
Active compoentn
the compontent which moves the tooth
Retention
the resitance to displacement forces
gravity
mastication
speech
tongue
active component
Anchorage
the resistance to unwanted tooth movement
Base plate
slef cured pmma - connector, retention, anchorage
S.S
itron -72
chromium -18
nickel - 8
titanium -1.7
carbon 0.3
durable, cariogenic, ductile, corrsion resistant due to presence of chromium, good asthetics, strong
Fitting a ura
ensure the pt details matches the details of the ura
ensure the design mataches the ura
run finger over the fitting surface to check for sharp edges
check the wirewokr intergrity
insert the appliance in the mouth and check for areas of blanching
check posterior retention - flyover then arrowheads
check anterior retention
acitve appliance
demo to pt
review 4-6weeks
Pt intructions for appliance
the appliance may feel big and bulky
may impinge on pt
initial pain and discomfort
exxcessive salivation my be presentable
remove for contact sports
wear appliance 24/7 including mealtimes
only remove appliance to clean after every meal
provide contact details
talk about complaince and appts
avoid hard and sticky foods
Benefits of ortho
improves speech, function and aesthetics
improves dental health
reduces trauam risk
Risks of ortho
relapse
root resorption
loss of vitiality
perio support issues
headgear trauma
decalcification
allergy
soft tissue trauma
ulcerations
toothwear
Root resoprtion
due to excessive movements, migh force, torque root movement, intrusion, prolonged
relpase high in
diastemmas, instanding 2’s lower incisors crowding, roations
Fixed retainer advatanges
fixed to teeth so good for compliance
done chair side
non invaasive
cheap
aesthetics
Fixed retainer disadvangates
OH maintaince hard
etch damages teeth
can easily debond
doen’t incoprate all teeth
Thermoplasitc retainer advatantages
cheap
aesthetics
non invasvie
oh better as can be removed by pt
incorpartes all teeth
thermoplastic retainer disadvantages
can easily be removed by pt so no complaince
distorts when applied to heat
easily lost
non resilant
Hawley retainer - advatnages
allows occulsal setting
strong
removable so oh good
minor tooth movement
incorpartes all teeth
disadvatanges of hawley retainer
aesthetics
intrudes on tongue space
expensive and time consuming to make
pt can remove
speech issues
Types of rothomovement
rotation
bodily movement
intrusion
extrusion
torque
tension
Components of fixed applaince
brackets
modulaes
archwire
force generating component - elasitic power chain, niti coils
anchorage - simple, compound, reciprocial, absolute (TAD), cortical - quadhelix, nance, transpaltal arch
Advantages of fixed
precise tooth movement
bodily movement forces of root
non invasive
can fix rotations
not bulky
pt cannot remove applince
Disadvatanges of fixed
etch can damage teeth
soft tissue trauam
relapse
root resoprtion
special training to fit
poorer anchroage
poor oh
expensive
