Study Notes
Malocclusion Overview
- Malocclusion refers to the relationship between the maxillary and mandibular teeth relative to the skull.
- It's classified as an "orthodontic condition," with diagnosis termed "orthodontic assessment."
- Ideal occlusion is regarded as the gold standard in orthodontic treatment.
Types of Occlusion
- Normal Overbite: Upper incisal edge within the incisal third of the mandibular incisor.
- Edge-to-Edge Bite: Incisal surfaces of upper and lower teeth occlude directly.
- Anterior Crossbite: Maxillary anterior teeth positioned lingual to mandibular anterior teeth, occurring in Angle’s Class III malocclusion.
- Deep (Severe) Anterior Overbite: Maxillary tooth edge at the cervical third of the mandibular tooth's facial surface.
- Open Bite: Lack of contact between anterior teeth, with posterior teeth in normal occlusion.
- End-to-End Bite: Molars in cusp-to-cusp occlusion, visible from the facial view.
Overjet and Underjet
- Overjet: Maxillary incisors labial to mandibular incisors; horizontal relationship between anterior teeth.
- Underjet: Maxillary incisors positioned lingual to mandibular incisors.
Crossbites
- Defined as misalignment of crowns; can be anterior or posterior, unilateral or bilateral.
- Buccal Scissors Crossbite: Complete malpositioning of the entire crown, exhibiting buccalversion.
- Lingual Scissors Crossbite: Entire crown is displaced lingually.
Importance of First Permanent Molars
- Dr. Angle's classification emphasizes first permanent molars due to their constant positional reference.
- Evaluate second molar or canine relationships when a tooth is missing.
Arch Forms and Line of Occlusion
- Arch Forms: Varieties include narrow, parabolic (average), and wide.
- Line of Occlusion (Bonwill): The curve formed by the mandible’s posterior teeth and anterior incisal edges; not visible when teeth are in contact.
Smile Arc
- The curve formed by the incisal edges of maxillary teeth during a smile, constituting the aesthetic line of dentition.
- Represents the anterior portion of this esthetic alignment.
Facial Profiles
- Class I: Straight profile indicating normal occlusion.
- Class II: Convex profile, often associated with distoclusion.
- Class III: Characterized by a concave profile, representing mesioclusion.
Angle’s Classification of Malocclusion
-
Class I (Normal Occlusion): Molar relationship with upper first permanent molar mesial to the mandibular first permanent molar.
- Types include crowded incisors, protruded maxillary incisors, and more.
-
Class II (Distoclusion): Buccal groove of the mandibular first molar is positioned distal to the upper first molar by a premolar's width.
- Division I: All anterior teeth protruded.
- Division II: One or more incisors retruded.
- Class III (Mesioclusion): Buccal groove of mandibular first molar is mesial to the upper first molar by at least a premolar's width.
