Ortho II - ORTHODONTIC DIAGNOSIS

It is done to check:

supernumerary teeth

any other congenitally missing teeth

observe the abnormal eruption pattern particularly canine

value for arch length analysis

to obtain any tooth malposition

• Occlusal intraoral films

• ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION

• Serial extraction

• BASAL METABOLIC RATE AND OTHER ENDOCRINE TESTS

is an interceptive orthodontic procedure undertaken in the (early) mixed dentition period that involves planned removal of certain primary and permanent teeth in a programmed sequence, so as to relieve crowding in the arches and to guide the remaining erupting permanent teeth into a more favorable position.

x Third molar extraction

x Lateral jaw projection is inferior to cephalometric and panoramic xrays

• Occlusal intraoral films

• ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION

• Serial extraction

• BASAL METABOLIC RATE AND OTHER ENDOCRINE TESTS

1. Can be used to identify the hyperactivity of mentalis muscle in Class II Division

1 Malocclusion ¾ The upper lips will become Hypofunctional ¾ The lower lips will become Hyperfunctional especially if the patient will do swallowing process

2. Determination of vertical dimension problems

3. To study the activity of the pterygoid muscle for the solution of TMJ problem

4. To analyze tongue function

5. Used for patient with poliomyelitis

6. Used for cerebral palsy patients

• Occlusal intraoral films

• ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION

• Serial extraction

• BASAL METABOLIC RATE AND OTHER ENDOCRINE TESTS

s the amount of energy expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment, in the post-absorptive state.

• Occlusal intraoral films

• ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION

• Serial extraction

• BASAL METABOLIC RATE

_____ is the minimum number of calories your body burns whether at rest, working out of lying down. These calories are the absolute minimum amount of energy your body burns and includes all involuntary activities that your body does to stay alive such as digestion, respiration, circulation, removing waste products and regulating body temperature.

• Occlusal intraoral films

• ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION

• Serial extraction

• BASAL METABOLIC RATE

Your BMR slows down roughly 5% every 10 years after the age of 20

• True

• False

Your BMR increases with your body weight in both males and females os the heavier you are (weight) the higher your BMR.

• True

• False

A negative BMR maybe just an indication of thyroid disturbance.

• True

• False
