Q

When a tooth is no longer situated in alveolar bone, what happens to the alveolar bone?

A
  • Immediate change starts following tooth loss due to lack of function stress from the PDL (PRIMARY CAUSE)

-the bone atrophies but muscle attachments remain in the same place leading to:
1. lack of floor of mouth on lingual side
2. lack of vestibular depth on buccal side

If a MANDIBULAR TOOTH is impacted, what position/orientation is it typically located in?
mesioangular impaction
26
What is the most difficult position of an impacted tooth for removal?
distoangular
27
What classification system is used for 3rd molar impaction?
Pell and Gregory
28
In Pell and Gregory classification of impacted 3rd molars, what does class 1,2,3 describe?
relation of mandibular 3rd molar to anterior border of the ramus
29
In Pell and Gregory classification of impacted 3rd molars, what does class A,B, and C describe?
The depth of impaction of maxillary or mandibular 3rd molars in bone relative to adjacent tooth
30
Determine the Pell and Gregory classification of the following: - sufficient amount of space between the anterior border of ramus and the distal of the 2nd molar for accommodation of the entire crown of 3rd molar - situated ANTERIOR to the anterior border of the ramus and there is ADEQUATE room to erupt
Class 1
31
Determine the Pell and Gregory classification of the following: - space between the anterior border of the ramus and the distal of the second molar LESS THAN the MD diameter of the crown of the 3rd molar - crown is 1/2 covered by anterior border of the ramus
class 2
32
Determine the Pell and Gregory classification of the following: - the ENTIRE 3rd molar is within the ramus
Class 3
33
Determine the Pell and Gregory classification of the following: - the occlusal plane of the impacted tooth is at the SAME LEVEL of the adjacent tooth
Class A
34
Determine the Pell and Gregory classification of the following: - the occlusal plane of the impacted tooth is BETWEEN the occlusal plane and CEJ of the adjacent tooth
Class B
35
