18 Questions
Explain the frontal assessment in dental evaluation.
The frontal assessment in dental evaluation includes evaluating facial proportions (divided into three equal parts), incisal edge position, vertical evaluation, and transverse evaluation.
What is the role of the fifth in the transverse evaluation of dental patients?
The role of the fifth in transverse evaluation is to consider the intercanthal interpupillary distance.
How does the anterior occlusal plane relate to the interpupillary line?
The anterior occlusal plane should be parallel to the interpupillary line.
What is the purpose of the lateral cephalometric analysis in dental evaluation?
The lateral cephalometric analysis helps in establishing relationships between various dental and skeletal components.
Describe the components of profile assessment in dental evaluation.
Profile assessment includes evaluating labiomental fold, nasolabial angle, and chin-throat angle and length.
Why is the incisal edge position important in dental evaluation?
The incisal edge position serves as a reference point to decide proper tooth proportion and gingival levels.
What is the main goal of surgical-orthodontic treatment?
Good facial esthetics and stability in positions of dentition and jaws.
When is orthognathic surgery considered the best treatment option?
In severe jaw discrepancies once growth has stopped.
What is the purpose of Camouflage therapy in orthodontics?
To provide dental compensation for skeletal deformity.
What factors are considered during patient evaluation in surgical-orthodontic treatment?
History and chief complaint, clinical examination, lateral cephalometric analysis, and dental models analysis.
When is Growth modification considered in treatment options?
In growing children where dentofacial orthopedics can alter the growth expression.
What should be avoided in Camouflage therapy?
Creating satisfactory dental occlusion at the expense of undesirable facial aesthetics.
What are the key points analyzed in skeletal analysis?
S sella, G glabella, N nasion, ANS, PNS, Point A, Point B, Me menton, Pg pogonion, Go gonion, Co condylion, Or orbitale, Po porion
List the soft tissue points analyzed in soft tissue analysis.
Soft tissue glabella (G), Soft tissue nasion (N), Pronasale (Pn), Subnasale (Sn), Labrale superior (Ls), Labrale inferior (Li), Stomion superius (Sts), Stomion inferior (Sti), Soft tissue pogonion (Pog), Soft tissue menton (Me)
What are the skeletal planes used in analysis?
Frankfort plane, Anterior cranial base (SN), Occlusal plane, Mandibular plane
What aspects are considered in dental models analysis?
Tooth size analysis, Arch width analysis, Occlusion, Symmetry
Name three skeletal diagnoses and problems that can be identified.
Vertical maxillary excess, Mandibular AP deficiency/excess, Convex profile, deficient chin
What is the purpose of pre-surgical orthodontics in treatment planning?
To prepare the teeth and jaws for orthognathic surgery by removing dental compensations and aligning them favorably
Test your knowledge on skeletal analysis points like Sella, Glabella, Nasion, and soft tissue analysis points like Glabella(G), Nasion (N), Pronasale (Pn), and more. Also includes skeletal planes and dental models analysis.
