Discuss various stages of Point out transient or Justify the influence of
development of self-correction development of
occlusion from primary malocclusions which occlusion and its timing,
dentition to permanent occur during on malocclusion and
dentition development of selection of treatment
occlusion plan
Introduction
• Occlusion: Alignment and articulation of teeth within and between arches, and the
relationship of teeth to their supporting structures
Pre-dental Period (0-6 months)
• 2 portion separated from each other by dental grooves > labiobuccal portion and lingual portion
• Transverse grooves between canine and first deciduous molar: lateral sulcus
Sequence : A B D C E
Features of Deciduous dentition
Terminal Plane
Relationship
Dentition Spacing
• Exchange of incisors
First Transitional Period – eruption of first
permanent molars
Age of eruption : around 6 Years of Permanent first molar guided by Flush terminal plane: Class I
age distal surface of primary second occlusion, lower molar needs to shift
molar 3-5mm relative to upper molar
Physiological spacing
Leeway space
Differential growth of mandible
The relationship of distal terminal plane of
opposing deciduous second molar

Justify the influence of development of occlusion
and its timing, on malocclusion and selection of
treatment plan
Premature Loss of Deciduous Teeth
Etiology: Caries
Premature exfoliation
Planned extraction
Treatment: Extraction
Infra-occluded Primary Molars
Causes: Ankylosis
Hereditary
Trauma
Infection
Treatment:
Extraction of submerged primary tooth to be done
when
1. There is a danger of the tooth disappearing below
gingival level
2. Root formation of the permanent tooth is nearing
completion
Supernumerary Teeth
Morphology:
• Supplemental: Resembles a tooth and occurs at the end of a
tooth series
• Conical: conical or peg-shaped supernumerary tooth which
often occurs between the upper central incisors. May cause
displacement or failure of eruption of teeth, Or may not have
any effect.
• Tuberculate: Classically associated with failure of eruption
• Odontome: Rare. Has both compound and complex form.
Supernumerary Teeth
Complication:
1. Failure of eruption of adjacent teeth
• Treatment: removal of supernumerary tooth
2. Crowding
• Treatment: Remove the poorly formed or
more displaced teeth
3. Displacement
• Management: Removal of the supernumerary
tooth and followed by fixed appliances.
