Study Notes
Buccal Overjet
- Distance measured between the buccal surfaces of maxillary posterior teeth and their mandibular antagonists.
- Can be classified into unilateral and bilateral presentations.
Unilateral Posterior Crossbite
- Affects only one side of the dental arch.
- True unilateral posterior crossbite: Resulting from asymmetrical dental arch, typically not linked to mandible deviation.
Infraposition (Infra Occlusion)
- Refers to a tooth or group of teeth positioned below the occlusal plane.
- Commonly arises from harmful habits or ankylosis.
Dental Retrusion
- Condition where a tooth or group of teeth are positioned posteriorly.
- Maintains normal long axis inclination despite being located further back.
Dental Retroclination
- Involves a tooth or group of teeth being positioned posteriorly while their long axis tips labio-lingually.
- A retrusive tooth can exist without being retroclined if it is positioned too far back with normal inclination.
Dental Proclination
- Refers to the anterior positioning of a tooth or a group of teeth.
- The long axis of teeth is tipped labially during this positioning.
