Study Notes
Orthodontics
- Orthodontics deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of malpositioned teeth and jaws.
- It was established by pioneering orthodontists like Edward H. Angle and Norman W. Kingsley.
Angle's Class III Malocclusion
- Characterized by the lower molar being mesially positioned relative to the upper molar.
- Includes true Class III, pseudo Class III, and Class III subdivision.
Terminologies
- Linguoversion: The tooth is positioned lingually (towards the tongue).
- Labioversion (Buccoversion): The tooth is positioned labially (toward the lips) or buccally (toward the cheeks).
- Supraversion: The tooth extends above the normal line of occlusion.
- Infraversion: The tooth is positioned below the normal line of occlusion.
- Torsiversion: The tooth is rotated along its own axis.
- Transversion (Transposition): Eruption of a tooth in place of an adjacent tooth.
Angle's Class II Malocclusion
- Characterized by the lower molar being distally positioned relative to the upper molar.
- Class II Division I: Class II molar relation with anterior teeth proclined.
- Class II Division II: Class II molar relation with central incisors retroclined and laterals either tipped labially or overlapping the centrals.
Angle's Method
- Introduced by Edward Angle in 1899.
- Based on the mesio-distal relation of teeth, dental arches, and jaws.
- Uses the maxillary first permanent molar as a key to occlusion.
- Three main classes: Class I, Class II, Class III.
Class I Malocclusion
- Characterized by a normal molar relationship but incorrect line of occlusion due to issues like crowding, spacing, rotations, missing teeth, etc.
Scissor Bite
- A complete posterior crossbite of maxillary teeth.
Branches of Orthodontics
- Preventive orthodontics: Eliminates factors leading to malocclusion.
- Interceptive orthodontics: Guides dental and facial development during mixed dentition or early permanent dentition.
- Corrective orthodontics: Uses fixed orthodontic appliances to correct malaligned teeth in adults or adolescents.
- Surgical orthodontics: Involves surgical procedures, like exposing impacted canines, to correct malocclusion.
Crowding
- Malalignment of teeth caused by inadequate space.
Spacing
- Spaces between teeth that can be generalized or localized.
Overbite
- Vertical overlap of the maxillary incisors over the mandibular incisors.
Overjet
- Horizontal overlap between the labial surface of the mandibular incisors and the lingual surface of the maxillary incisors.
Deep Bite
- Excessive vertical overlap between the upper and lower anterior teeth.
Open Bite
- No vertical overlap of the maxillary and mandibular teeth.
Cross Bite
- Transverse or buccolingual discrepancy of teeth, either anterior or posterior.
