Ideally, Orthodontic traction to pull an impacted tooth to line of arch should begin at



1) 2-3 months post surgically

2) As soon as possible after surgery

3) After a waiting period of at least1.5 months

4) Only the method of traction is critical, not the time


Orthodontics Answer: 2

SOLUTION

Mechanical approaches for aligning unerupted teeth. Orthodontic traction to pull an unerupted tooth toward the line of the arch should begin as soon as possible after surgery 
Ideally a fixed orthodontic appliance should already be in place before the unerupted tooth is exposed, so that orthodontic force can be applied immediately. 
If this is not practical, active orthodontic movement should being no later than 2 or 3 weeks post-surgically.

Considering the 3D growth of the face, it ceases last in which direction?
1. A-P
2. sagittal
3. transverse
4. vertical
Orthodontics Answer: 4

for facial growth order of growth is
width > depth > height

Analysis which is similar to Pont’s analysis is_______?  



1) Linder Harth index

2) Korkhaus analysis

3) Bolton’s analysis

4) (A) and (B)


Orthodontics Answer: 4

SOLUTION
· Pont’s in 1905 presented a system whereby the measurement of the four maxillary incisors automatically established the width of the arch in the premolar and molar region.  If measured value is less than calculated value, it indicates the need for expansion. 

· Linder Harth index: This analysis is very similar to Pont’s analysis except that a new formula has been proposed to determine the calculated premolar and molar value. 

· Korkhaus analysis: This analysis is also very similar to Pont’s analysis it makes use of Linder Harth’s formula to determine the ideal arch width in the premolar and molar region.
 In addition this analysis utilizes a measurement made from the midpoint of the inter-premolar line to a point in between the two maxillary incisors. 
 
· Bolton’s analysis: The Bolton’s analysis helps in determining disproportion in size between maxillary and mandibular teeth. 

Supracrestal fibrotomy is done after correction of:



1) Crowding         

2) Proclined incisors

3) Severely rotated teeth 

4) Space closure


Orthodontics Answer: 3

Solution

Circumferential supracrestal fibrotomy (CSF) eliminates the pull of the stretched supracrestal gingival fibres which are the major cause of orthodontic relapse.

If the tooth has not erupted to the line of occlusion it is called



1) Supraversion



2) Torsiversion



3) Rotated



4) Infraversion


Orthodontics Answer: 4

Terms used to describe the position of teeth.

Mesioversion - A tooth in the arch located more mesial than normal
Distoversion - A tooth in the arch located more distal than normal
Labioversion - An incisor or canine outside of arch towards the lips
Buccoversion - A  posterior tooth outside the arch toward the cheek
Linguoversion - A  tooth inside the arch form toward the tongue
Infraversion  - A tooth that has not erupted to the occlusal plane
Supraversion - A tooth the has over-erupted
Torsiversion - A tooth rotated on its axis
Transversion (Transposition) - Teeth that are in the wrong sequential order.

Which of these is the ideal appliance for correction of posterior cross bite due to digit sucking habit?



1) Tongue spikes

2) Hay rakes

3) Maxillary lingual arch with palatal crib

4) Quad helix


Orthodontics Answer: 4

Classification of appliances for thumb-sucking

1. Removable appliances- These are passive appliances. These are retained in the oral cavity by means of clasps and they norm have one of these following additional components:
a. Tongue spikes
b. Tongue guard
c. Spurs/rake 

2 Fixed appliances 

a. Quad helix
b. Hay rakes
c. Maxillary lingual arch with palatal crib 

The ideal appliance to correct posterior cross-bite caused due to digit sucking is Quad Helix. It is a lingual arch which is adjustab and needs very little patient cooperation because it is fixed and is reliable and easy to use.


"Thumb sucking" will
1) Always produce maxillary prognathism
2) Always indicate psychological disturbance
3) Always needs appliance therapy 10 break the habit
4) None of the above. Many times it stops spontaneously
Orthodontics Answer: 4

Explanation: Thumb sucking is a common behavior in children and does not always lead to maxillary prognathism, psychological disturbances, or the need for appliance therapy. Many children stop thumb sucking on their own without intervention.


Slow progression in molar uprighting in an adult patient is due to
1) Occlusion not being relieved
2) Overcontoured spring
3) Back of anchorage control
4) All of the above
Orthodontics Answer: 1

Slow progression in molar uprighting can occur if the occlusion is not
adequately relieved. If the opposing teeth are still in
contact, it can hinder the movement of the molar being
uprighted.
