Study Notes
Development of Occlusion
- Primary dentition, mixed dentition, and permanent dentition are the stages of occlusion development
- Class I, II, and III occlusion and space maintainers are essential concepts in occlusion development
Classifications of Occlusion
- Class I: Normal occlusion, ideal relationship between upper and lower teeth
- Class II: Upper teeth are more forward than lower teeth
- Class III: Lower teeth are more forward than upper teeth
- End on Class II: A type of Class II occlusion where the upper and lower teeth meet at the edges
Moyers Mixed Dentition Analysis
- A method to predict space available for permanent teeth in mixed dentition
- Measures the size of unerupted canines and premolars from the mesiodistal widths of mandibular incisors
Primate Spaces
- Normal spacing found in primary dentition to accommodate the width of wider permanent teeth
- Maxilla: Space between lateral and canine
- Mandible: Space between canine and first molar
Terms in Occlusion
- Overbite: Vertical overlap of maxillary teeth over mandibular teeth
- Overjet: Horizontal overlap of maxillary teeth over mandibular teeth
- Physiologic Occlusion: Ideal occlusion, Class I, promotes health and good function
- Pathological Occlusion/Traumatic Occlusion: Causes destruction of periodontium and wear of teeth
- Mixed Dentition: Phase when some teeth are primary and some are permanent
- Leeway Space: Difference between the space available for permanent teeth in the mixed dentition and the space required for the permanent teeth
Problems with Space
- Too much space: Large jaw and/or small teeth
- Too little space: Small jaw and/or large teeth
