10 Questions
What are the three factors that determine the effect of oral habits on the dentition?
Intensity, duration, and frequency.
What are some examples of oral habits mentioned in the text?
Thumb sucking, tongue thrust, mouth breathing, lip biting, and bruxism.
What are the three phases of thumb and finger habits in children?
Phase 1 (newborn-2 years), Phase 2 (3-5 years old), Phase 3 (6-12 years old).
What are some etiological factors for thumb and finger sucking habits in children?
Feeding problems, physiological exploration, imitation, seeking attention, and emotional problems.
At what age does thumb sucking generally not cause major damage to occlusion if it stops?
Before the third year of life.
Explain malocclusion and its impact on oral health.
Malocclusion is a condition where there is a deviation from the normal relationship of teeth to other teeth in the same arch and/or opposing arch. It can impact oral health by causing problems with chewing, speech, and oral hygiene, as well as leading to dento-facial abnormalities.
What is the focus of preventative orthodontics and what does it entail?
Preventative orthodontics focuses on the recognition, prevention, treatment, and elimination of factors involved in the production of oral and dento-facial abnormalities. It entails addressing issues related to normal dentofacial growth, early deviation recognition, etiological factors in malocclusion, harmful oral habits, cases requiring early intervention, and determining proper timing of treatment.
What are the considerations in deciduous dentition related to premature extraction of primary teeth?
Considerations include the necessity for provision of a space maintainer in cases of early loss of primary molars, the minimal effect of early loss of anterior primary teeth on permanent teeth arrangement but potential development of oral habits like tongue thrusting, and the impact of poor restoration or loss of contacts due to caries on arch length.
When is treatment usually not necessary for cross bites in deciduous dentition?
Treatment is usually not necessary for cross bites in deciduous dentition.
What are the potential consequences of over contoured posterior contact areas in deciduous dentition?
Over contoured posterior contact areas may cause anterior crowding in deciduous dentition.
