    Study Notes

    Fifth Stage Orthodontics Study Models

    • Study models are accurate plaster reproductions of teeth and surrounding soft tissues
    • They're essential diagnostic records, used to study occlusion and dentition in three dimensions
    • Ideal models accurately reproduce teeth and surrounding soft tissues
    • Models should be trimmed for symmetry and aesthetics, showing any asymmetrical arch forms clearly
    • Models should be trimmed to show dental occlusion when placed on their backs
    • Models should replicate proposed trimming measurements and angles
    • Models must have smooth, bubble-free surfaces with sharp angles at joins
    • Finished models should have a glossy, stain-resistant finish

    Why Study Models Are Used (Benefits)

    • Invaluable for treatment planning, as they're the only three-dimensional records of a patient's dentition
    • Allow visualization of occlusion from the lingual aspect
    • Provide a permanent record of intermaxillary relationships and occlusion at the start of treatment, important for legal considerations
    • Serve as a visual aid for monitoring tooth movement during treatment
    • Help motivate patients by showing treatment progress
    • Act as a reference for comparison at the end of treatment and for post-treatment changes
    • Remind patients and parents of the original condition at the start of treatment
    • Important records in case of patient transfer to another clinician

    Uses of Study Models

    • Assess and record dental anatomy
    • Assess and record intercuspation
    • Assess and record arch form
    • Assess and record occlusion curves
    • Evaluate occlusion using articulators
    • Measure treatment progress
    • Identify abnormalities, such as localized enlargements or arch distortions
    • Calculate space requirements/discrepancies
    • Provide records from before, immediately after, and several years following treatment
    • Study treatment procedures and stability

    Parts of Study Models

    • Anatomic Portion: The part that shows the actual impression of the dental arch and its surrounding soft tissue structures. It must be preserved during trimming.
    • Artistic (or Architectural) Portion: The stone base that supports the anatomic portion. The shape is trimmed to make the overall form of the dental arch clear and easy to view.

    Study Model Fabrication and Trimming

    • Remove any excess flash or excessive bulk from the model's edges
    • Remove any nodules present on the occlusal surfaces of the model's teeth
    • Remove any extensions in posterior areas of the model
    • Use a wax bite to occlude the model

    Model Analysis (Pont's Analysis)

    • Pont's analysis uses measurement of maxillary incisors to estimate the width of the premolar and molar regions in a dental arch
    • This helps estimate the amount of expansion required when malocclusion is present

    Model Analysis (Other Analyses)

    • Other analyses (Linder Harth, Korkhaus, Ashley Howe) refine the process to account for more teeth and factors influencing arch dimensions. These formulas may include measurements of premolars, total tooth material (TTM), maxillary and mandibular incisors, and canines/premolars

    Drawbacks of Pont's Analysis

    • Maxillary lateral incisors are commonly missing, prone to morphogenetic alteration.
    • It does not take into account skeletal relationships or the relationship of teeth to supporting bone
    • Different populations may require additional adjustments; not just based on a numerical index

    Mixed Dentition Analysis

    • Moyer's: Predicts space needs based on the correlation between the sizes of mandibular incisors and other teeth, using the amount of space for each position
    • Tanaka and Johnson: Simplified Moyer's 75% predictor table, proposing a formula to calculate the dimensions of canines and premolars
    • Includes using a mixed dentition analysis to figure out space for permanent teeth eruption and subsequent adjustments

    Carey's Analysis

    • Carey's uses arch length and tooth material to identify discrepancies, usually with the lower arch, to assess treatment planning requirements such as tooth extraction, or occlusal adjustmnets

    Kesling Diagnostic Set-up

    • A tool to plan treatment by creating a simulation of various tooth movements
