Which of the following are included in the Orthodontic camouflage methods for treating class II malocclusion?
1) Retraction of upper teeth and forward movement of lower teeth
2) Retraction of maxillary incisors into pre-molar extraction space
3) Distal movement of maxillary molars
4) All of the above
Orthodontics Answer: 4
SOLUTION
The following three patterns of tooth movement can be used to correct a Class II malocclusion:
· A combination of retraction of the upper teeth and forward movement of the lower teeth, without tooth extractions
· Retraction of maxillary incisors into a premolar extraction space
· Distal movement of maxillary molars and eventually the entire upper dental arch
"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.
If maxillary canines are placed forward to orbital plane, they are said to be in
1) Protraction
2) Retraction
3) Abstraction
4) Contraction
Orthodontics Answer: 1
SOLUTION
Simon used the orbital plane (a plane perpendicular to the F-H plane at the margin of the bony orbit directly under the pupil of the eye).
According to Simon, in normal arch relationship, the orbital plane passes through the distal axial aspect of the maxillary canine
Malocclusions described as anteropostenor deviations based on their distance from the orbital plane are as follows:
1. Protraction: The teeth, one or both, dental arches, andYor jaws are too far forward, i.e. placed forward or anterior to the plane as compared to the normal where the plane passes through the distal incline of the canine.
2. Retraction: The teeth, one or both dental arches and/or jaws are too far backward, i.e. placed posterior to the plane than normal
Transitional phase of dentition is
1) During eruption of permanent and exfoliation of deciduous teeth
2) After all permanent teeth have erupted
3) Phase during correction of malocclusion
4) None of the above
Orthodontics
Answer: 1
The transitional phase of dentition refers to the period when the primary (deciduous) teeth are being replaced by permanent teeth. This phase is characterized by the simultaneous eruption of permanent teeth and the exfoliation (loss) of primary teeth. It typically occurs between the ages of 6 and 12 years. The other options do not accurately describe this transitional phase; option 2 refers to a post-transitional phase, while option 3 pertains to orthodontic treatment rather than a specific phase of dentition.
Relapse of orthodontic tooth rotation is due to periodontal traction. This is mainly caused by action of which periodontal fibers
1) Supracrestal fibres and oblique fibres
2) Supracrestal fibres and horizontal fibres
3) Supracrestal fibres and transeptal fibres
4) Transeptal fibres and oblique fibres
Orthodontics Answer: 3
PDL traction is mainly due to supracrestal fibres, transeptal fibres of gingival fibers.
It needs at least 232 days for readaptation, e.g. rotations.
To avoid relapse either circumferential supracrestal fibrotomy is done OR a prolonged retention is given.
Earnest Klein has classified habits into
1) Compulsive and non-compulsive habits
2) Intentional and non-intentional habits
3) Primary and secondary habits
4) Pressure and non-pressure habits
Orthodontics
Answer: 2
Earnest Klein's classification of habits distinguishes between intentional habits (those that are consciously performed) and non-intentional habits (those that occur unconsciously or without deliberate intention). This classification helps in understanding the nature of habits, particularly in the context of dental and orthodontic practices.
The part of the removable appliance which provides the anchorage is
1) Adams clasp
2) Base plate
3) Active labial bow
4) Guided springs
Orthodontics Answer: 2
SOLUTION
Baseplate: The hard plastic part of some retainers that covers the gum and has the wire components of the retainers attached to it.
The most common permanent tooth found to be ankylosed is
1) 1st molars
2) 2nd molars
3) Canines
4) Premolars
Orthodontics Answer: 4
ankylosed teeth are also known as submerged teeth.
submerged teeth are decidous teeth most commonly mandibular second molars
Most common permanant tooth found to be ankylosed is premolars.
