Study Notes
- Dr. Julia Cohen-Lévy presented a 3-part lecture series titled "Diagnosis of the Orthodontic Problem."
- Learning objectives: distinguish between normal occlusion and malocclusions, classify orthodontic anomalies, understand TMJ and occlusion dynamics, and assess facial and skeletal issues.
- Part One: Diagnosis of orthodontic problem
- Abnormalities of teeth & Intra-Arch examination
- Intra-arch abnormalities
- Abnormalities of teeth & Intra-Arch examination
- Abnormalities of tooth number: genesis, hypodontia, oligodontia, anodontia, supernumerary teeth
- Abnormalities of tooth size, shape, and structure: macrodontia, microdontia, dens evaginatus, dens invaginatus - Intra-arch study
- Archform & symmetry
- Compensating curves
- Spacing/crowding
- First contact with a patient: clinical examination and analysis of records.
- Chief complaint and medical history: behavior, questionnaires
- Interview, history: medical conditions, growth status
- Clinical examination: first impression, dental and periodontal health, static and functional examination, extraoral and intraoral photos, casts, Panorex, Lateral Ceph, analysis of records, measurements
The text above discusses Dr. Julia Cohen-Lévy's presentation on diagnosing orthodontic problems. This three-part presentation covers various aspects of orthodontic problems, including abnormalities of teeth and their number, size, shape, and structure. It also addresses the importance of understanding the dynamics of the TMJ and occlusion and assessing facial and skeletal issues. During the first contact with a patient, it is essential to gather information through a chief complaint, medical history, and clinical examination, followed by an analysis of records and measurements.
