Study Notes
Occlusion and Malocclusion
- Overbite refers to the vertical overlap between the maxillary and mandibular incisors.
- Overjet refers to the horizontal distance between the maxillary and mandibular incisors.
Open Bite (Negative Overbite)
- Characterized by a lack of vertical overlap between the maxillary and mandibular incisors.
Causes of Open Bite
- Dental open bite: caused by abnormal eruption patterns or habits such as thumb-sucking.
- Skeletal open bite: caused by a discrepancy in the size or shape of the maxilla and mandible.
Normal Vertical Overlap
- Normal vertical overlap between the maxillary and mandibular incisors is 3-5 mm.
- Ideal range of vertical overlap for the anterior teeth is 2-4 mm.
Deep Bite
- Characterized by a vertical overlap of the anterior teeth that exceeds the normal range.
Terms in Occlusion
- The term "buccal clearance" refers to the distance between the buccal surfaces of the maxillary posterior teeth and their mandibular antagonists.
- "Crossbite" refers to an abnormal relationship of one or more teeth to one or more teeth of the opposing arch, in the buccolingual or labiolingual direction.
Types of Crossbite
- A narrow maxillary arch can cause a posterior crossbite.
- An anterior crossbite occurs when one or more of the lower incisors are in front of the upper incisors.
