week 4 Flashcards
how is the maxilla attached to the cranium
Numerous sutures
maxillary hypoplasia leads to what classification
Class III
maxillary prognathism leads to what classification
Class II
a transverse deficiency leads to what classification
Posterior crossbite
do you need more or less force for orthopedic or orthodontic foces
More for orthopedic (500-1000) because distributed over large bone area and bumber of teeth
how long do you have to restrain maxillary growth
12-16 hours a day (not 6)
how is force frequency applied for maxillary growth restraint headgear
Intermittend (not cont)
what headgear is used to restrain maxillary
High pull
cervical pull
Combi
what do maxillary protraction face maska and reverse pull headgear attach to
Maxillary molars
Ideal: temporary implants and ankylosed teeth
when is maxillay protraction face mask and reverse pull headgear
10-11 years old for 6-8 months
how much change can maxillary protraction-face mask and reverse pull headgear move the skeleton
3mm of skeletal movement
when is a maxillary transverse deficiency seen
Seen in patients with Class III malocclusion
seen in patients with Class II with vertical (long problems)
isolated problems
when do you use a palatal expaspander
To correct maxillary transverse deficiency
what is the target of palatal expansion
Midpalatal suture
how fast is rapid palatal expansion
1mm/day over 2-3 weeks
when do you use rapid palatal expansion
adolescent patients
what type of expanders are used for preadolescent children and preschool for palatal expansion
W-arch and Quad helix appliances (not jackscrew-type expanders)
how fast is slow expansion
1mm/week
when is slow expansion done
used for late adolescent and young adults
what is done after palatal expansion
3-6 months of retention for bone consolidation
why is it difficult to do RPE in older people
Interdigitation (not fusion) of midpalatal suture increases with age
what is the comparison between skeletal and dental movement in rapid palatal expansion
50% skeletal
50% dental
what happens in RPE if the suture is highly interdigitated
Production of mostly dental movement
how can you do RPE in adults
Surgically assisted RPE
