    Study Notes

    Fifth Stage Orthodontics Study Models

    • Study models are accurate plaster reproductions of teeth and surrounding soft tissues.
    • They're crucial diagnostic records, aiding in occlusal and dentition analysis in three dimensions.

    Ideal Requirements of Orthodontic Study Models

    • Models must precisely reproduce teeth and surrounding soft tissues.
    • Models should be trimmed for symmetry and aesthetic appeal, enabling easy recognition of asymmetrical arch forms.
    • Trimming should ensure that the dental occlusion is visible when models are placed on their backs.
    • The trimming should accurately replicate proposed measurements and angles.
    • Models should have smooth, bubble-free surfaces with sharp angles where cuts meet.
    • Finished models should have a glossy, stain-resistant finish

    Why Study Models are Used

    • They provide an invaluable three-dimensional record of the patient's dentition, essential for treatment planning.
    • Models enable visualization of the occlusion from the lingual aspect.
    • They create a permanent record of intermaxillary relationships and occlusion, crucial for medico-legal considerations.
    • They help dentists track and monitor tooth movement.
    • They serve as a visual aid to motivate patients about treatment progress.
    • Models are used to compare results at the end of and after treatment.
    • They act as a reminder for the patient and parents of the initial condition before treatment.
    • Study models are invaluable for transferring patient care to another clinician.

    Uses of Study Models

    • Essential for assessing and recording dental anatomy, intercuspation, and arch form.
    • Help in analyzing occlusion using articulators to evaluate occlusion during treatment.
    • Identifying abnormalities and calculating space requirements (localized enlargements, arch form distortions).
    • Provide a record before, during, and after treatment and a few years afterward to study treatment procedures and stability.

    Parts of Study Models

    • Anatomic Portion: Includes an actual impression of the dental arch and surrounding soft tissue structures, which necessitates preservation during trimming.
    • Artistic Portion: The stone base supporting the anatomic portion, designed for aesthetic appeal and depiction of the dental arch's form.

    Study Model Fabrication and Trimming

    • Preliminary procedures include removing excess flash, nodules, and extensions in the posterior areas to prevent occlusal interference.
    • Study models are then occluded using a wax bite.

    Model Analysis

    • Pont's Analysis: A system for estimating arch width, initially using measurements of the maxillary incisors to approximate premolar and molar region widths.

    • MPV (Measured Premolar Value): The distance between upper first premolars.

    • MMV (Measured Molar Value): The distance between the upper first molars.

    • CPV (Calculated Premolar Value): The expected arch width in the premolar region, calculated using the formula Sl x 100/80, where SI is the sum of the mesiodistal width of incisors.

    • CMV (Calculated Molar Value): The expected arch width in the molar region, calculated using the formula SI x 100/64.

    • The difference between measured and calculated values identifies the need for expansion.

    Drawbacks of Pont’s Analysis

    • The teeth most commonly missing are maxillary laterals.

    • Maxillary laterals can sometimes undergo morphogenetic alteration (peg-shaped).

    • Analysis is restricted to casts of the French population.

    • Skeletal and dental relationships aren't considered.

    • Relationship between teeth and supporting bone isn't fully addressed.

    • Maxillary dimensions are more easily determined, but it is more challenging to achieve the corresponding mandibular dimensions needed to maintain balanced occlusion, so the patient's original mandibular and maxillary arch form should be considered as the primary guide.

    Linder Harth Index

    • This analysis method is similar to Pont's but with variations in the formulas to determine premolar and molar values.
    • The calculated premolar value is determined using the formula: Sl x 100/85.
    • The calculated molar value is determined using the formula: SI x 100/64

    Korkhaus Analysis

    • This method utilizes the Linder Harth formula to determine ideal arch width in the premolar and molar regions.
    • Additional measurement from the midpoint of the inter-premolar line to a point between the maxillary incisors is made.
    • For proclined upper anterior teeth, the mandibular value should equal the maxillary value (millimeters) minus 2 mm.
    • For retroclined anterior teeth, a decrease in measurement is noted.

    Ashley Howe's Analysis

    • Howe considered tooth crowding due to arch width deficiency rather than arch length.
    • His analysis focused on the relationship between the total width of teeth anterior to the second molars and the width of the first premolar region.
    • Total tooth material (TTM) refers to the sum of the mesiodistal widths of all teeth from the first molars. Measurements are done on dental casts.

    Basal Arch Length (BAL) and Premolar Diameter (PMD)

    • BAL, using Down's "A" point, in maxilla measures perpendicularly toward the occlusal plane and the median point on a line connecting first molar distal surfaces.
    • PMD measures the maxillary arch width at the top of the first buccal premolar cusp
    • Measurements provide important information on potential for tooth accommodation within arch structures.

    Premolar Basal Arch Width (PMBAW)

    • PMBAW is measured by determining the diameter of the apical base from the canine fossa of one side to the other, approximately 8 mm below the interdental papilla.
    • This measurement helps assess if the apical bases can accommodate the teeth.

    Percentage Ratios for analysis

    • Percentage of premolar diameter to tooth material (PMD x 100)/ TTM
    • Percentage of premolar basal arch width to tooth material (PMBAW x 100)/ TTM
    • Percentage of basal arch length to tooth material (BAL x 100)/ TTM

    Wayne A. Bolton Analysis

    • Bolton's analysis determines disproportion between maxillary and mandibular teeth.
    • Ratios of maxillary tooth material are compared to the mandibular.
    • Ratios should approximate each other to maintain ideal interarch dental relationships.
    • Bolton analysis helps determine whether tooth movement or extraction is needed.

    Carey's Analysis

    • Carey's Analysis is used to evaluate arch length discrepancies, which relate to length versus total tooth material.
    • This discrepancy is calculated from arch length versus the measured total mesiodistal widths of the teeth. Analysis can be performed in both the upper and lower arches, with the upper arch analysis referred to as arch perimeter analysis.
    • Procedures involve a soft wire placed along the gingiva to measure the arch length and tracing the width of the teeth from the molar to anterior region.
    • Interpretation of results identifies the amount of discrepancies.
    • Discrepancies of 0-2.5 mm suggest proximal stripping, 2.5-5 mm suggests the extraction of a second premolar and above 5 mm suggest an extraction of the first premolar.

    Mixed Dentition Analysis

    • Analysis evaluates space for permanent teeth's eruption and occlusal adjustments.
    • Techniques include estimating sizes of developing cuspids and premolars based on radiographs or comparing them to erupted permanent teeth.
    • Moyer's mixed dentition analysis correlates mandibular incisors and combined cuspids/bicuspids to determine the necessary amount of space needed.
    • Tanaka and Johnson simplified Moyer's method with formulas.
    • Kesling introduced diagnostic set-ups to show tooth movements on models.
