rapid maxillary expansion was recommended when the technique was reintroduced int he 1960s because it was thought that this produced more skeletal than dental change, though recent research has shown this not to be true
- true
- although it initially produces more skeletal than dental changes, the teeth cannot respond to the quick heavy force produced through rapid expansion
- during the time when bone is filling in, orthodontic tooth movement continues and allows skeletal relapse, so that although total expansion is maintained, the percentage due to tooth movement increases and the skeletal expansion decreases
106
with slow expansion at a rate of 1mm per week, the total expansion is about half skeletal and half dental from the beginning. how does the outcome compare to rapid expansion at 2 weeks vs 10 weeks?
- looks very different at 2 weeks
| - very similar at 10 weeks
107
what procedure is performed when maximum skeletal expansion and minimal dental expansion is desired?

- first premolars = 2mm
- second premolars = 2-3mm
- molars = 3mm

the response of the mandible to force transmitted to the TMJ is nearly the same as the response of the maxilla to force transmitted to sutures
false
120
what is a chin cup device/appliance?
- an extra-oral force used to control excess mandibular growth
- it has been shown to remodel the TMJ and restrain mandibular growth on experimental animals but the appliance has to be worn on a full time or nearly full time basis, something that children simply won't do
121
what is the difference between a soft and hard chin cup appliance?
the soft chin cup appliance is more comfortable but increases the chance that the lower incisors will be tipped lingually, which is undesirable in skeletal class III patients

128
T or F:
if growth stimulation is defined as producing a larger mandible at the end of the total growth period than would have existed without treatment, then it is harder to demonstrate a positive effect
true
129
T or F:

131
if growth occurs at a faster-than-expected rate while a functional appliance is being worn and then continues at the expected rate thereafter so that the ultimate size of the jaw is larger, true ___ has occurred

141
presenting a ___ of the post treatment profile can greatly help patients understand the differences between alternative treatment approaches

142
permanent teeth often erupt in abnormal positions as a result of ___
over-retained primary teeth
143
in circumstances where over-retained primary teeth have caused permanent teeth to erupt in abnormal positions, how can this be corrected?

in each arch, the anchorage value of the first molar and second premolar are approximately equal in surface area to the ___ and ___
canine and two incisors
162
what is the best example of reciprocal tooth movement?
- closing a diastema between the central incisors
- force applied to the teeth and the arch segment are equal and so is the force distribution in the PDL so only desired tooth movement occurs
163
___ is accomplished by adding additional teeth to the unit to distribute the force over a larger root surfaced area in the anchorage unit (could also add an extraoral force such as headgear or interarch elastics)
reinforced anchorage
164
___ describes minimizing displacement of anchor teeth by arranging the force system so that the anchor teeth must move bodily (translation ___g), if they move at all. the anterior teeth are allowed to tip ___g.
- stationary anchorage
- 70-120g
- 35-60g
165
two stage treatment with tipping followed by uprighting can be used as a means of controlling ___, by distributing the force over a larger PDL area of the anchor teeth, and thus reducing ___
- anchorage
| - pressure in that area
166
how is anchorage accomplished with the palate?
acrylic plate in the roof of the mouth
167
how is anchorage accomplished with the head/neck?
headgear
168
how is cortical anchorage accomplished?
using the resistance of cortical bone to remodel
169
what are some options for temporary anchorage?
devices (TADs), implants, and ankylosed teeth
Ortho
