Modified dental protocols are recommended to minimize bleeding risks in affected patients, including local hemostatic measures and factor replacement therapies.
The document provides guidelines for the management of avulsed permanent teeth, dividing it into two main stages: emergency treatment and definitive treatment. For emergency treatment, it outlines steps like keeping the patient calm, finding and cleaning the tooth if dirty, and seeking immediate dental treatment. Definitive treatment involves clinical and radiographic examination, sensibility testing, and treatment based on the apex status and extraoral dry time of the tooth. It details protocols for teeth with open or closed apices that were replanted immediately, stored in media, or dry for over 60 minutes. The guidelines emphasize the importance of this area in pediatric dentistry.
Guidelines for the management of traumatic dental injuries.ii.avulsion of per...Dr.Tinet Mary Augustine
- The document provides guidelines for the management of avulsed permanent teeth, dividing treatment into emergency and definitive care stages.
- Emergency treatment includes finding the tooth, cleaning it, and replanting or storing it in appropriate media like saline or coconut water until replantation. Definitive care involves examination, root canal treatment, antibiotics, and follow-up based on whether the tooth's root is open or closed.
- Prognosis and treatment depends on the dry time of an avulsed tooth - teeth dry less than 60 minutes have a better chance of survival than those dry over 60 minutes. Multiple storage media are discussed for temporary transport of avulsed teeth prior to replantation.
The document discusses traumatic injuries to the permanent dentition, specifically crown fractures. It provides an overview of the etiology, incidence, classification, and management of dental injuries. Key points include that the incidence of dental trauma from accidents and sports has increased in recent decades, commonly affecting the front teeth of children and teenagers. Proper initial treatment is important to promote healing. Classification systems help describe the specific injury and guide clinical decision making.
This document summarizes postnatal growth of various craniofacial structures including the cranial vault, cranial base, nasomaxillary complex, mandible, temporomandibular joint, and oral cavity. It discusses how these structures grow in three dimensions and the mechanisms that influence their growth patterns. Key growth periods are identified for treatment planning in orthodontics. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of understanding craniofacial growth and development to achieve positive results in orthodontic and orthopedic treatments.
The document discusses several theories of child psychology and development. It describes Sigmund Freud's psychodynamic theory including the psychosexual stages of development from oral to genital. It also covers Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory and the stages from trust vs mistrust to integrity vs despair. Additionally, it summarizes Jean Piaget's cognitive development theory and the sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational stages.
Pit and fissure sealants are materials designed to prevent dental caries. Recent advancements include sealants that have remineralizing properties through the incorporation of fluoride, amorphous calcium phosphate, or novamin. Other improvements include sealants with optic properties like clear, colored or fluorescent sealants, and hydrophilic bond sealants that are more moisture-resistant. Newer sealants also aim to be biological and BPA-free, or contain nanoparticles.
This document summarizes the outcomes of regenerative endodontic procedures. It finds that regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) are generally more successful at resolving symptoms of apical periodontitis compared to apexification. REPs also typically result in greater increases in root length and thickness compared to apexification. However, the degree of additional root development from REPs can vary significantly depending on factors like the cause of pulp necrosis. Long-term survival rates of teeth treated with REPs or apexification are still unclear due to a lack of large, long-term studies. Return of pulp vitality is achieved in around half of REP cases.

Matrix consist of
• All muscles with mandibular attachments
• Neurovascular triad
• Associated salivary glands
• Teeth
• The tongue
• Fat,skin and connective tissue
• The oral and pharyngeal spaces
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS 47
48. • Mandible consist of a group of microskeltal
unit and a basal core part(Moss)
Functions include
• Articulation(condyle)
• Muscle attachment(coronoid)
• Occlusion(alveolar process)
• Holding the dentition(corpus)
• Compensation(ramus)
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS 48
49. Protected nerve concept
• The basal tubular portion serves as protection
for mand.canal and follows downward and
forward movement from beneath the cranium
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS 49
50. • The most constant portion of mandible is the
arc that forms from foramen ovale to the
mandibular foramen and mental foramen
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS 50
56. MASSETER
• Origin: inferior border and medial surface of
zygomatic arch.
• Insertion: lateral surface of ramus of mandible
and its coronoid process.
• Innervation: mandibular nerve via masseteric
nerve that enters its deep surface.
• Action: It elevates and protrudes the
mandible, closes the jaws and the deep fibres
retrude it.
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS 56
57. TEMPORALIS
• Origin: floor of temporal fossa and deep surface
of temporal fascia.
• Insertion: tip and medial surface of coronoid
process and anterior border of ramus of
mandible.
• Innervation: deep temporal branches of
mandibular nerve (CN V3).
• Action: The temporalis muscle elevates the
mandible, closes the jaws; and its posterior fibres
retrude the mandible after protrusion.
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS 57
58. LATERAL PTERYGOID
• Origin:
superior head—infratemporal surface and
infratemporal crest of the greater wing of the
sphenoid bone,
inferior head—lateral surface of lateral pterygoid
plate.
• Insertion: neck of mandible, articular disc, and
capsule of temporomandibular joint.
• Innervation: mandibular nerve via lateral
pterygoid nerve from anterior trunk, which enters
it deep surface.
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS 58
59. • Acting together, these muscles protrude the
mandible and depress the chin. Acting alone
and alternately, they produce side-toside
movements of the mandible.
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS 59
60. MEDIAL PTERYGOID
• Origin: deep head—medial surface of lateral
pterygoid plate and pyramidal process of
palatine bone, superficial head—tuberosity of
maxilla.
• Insertion: medial surface of ramus of
mandible, inferior to mandibular foramen.
• Innervation: mandibular nerve via medial
pterygoid nerve. It helps to elevate the
mandible and closes the jaws.
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS 60
61. • Action: Acting together, they help to protrude
the mandible. Acting alone, it protrudes the
side of the jaw. Acting alternately, they
produce a grinding motion.
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS 61

• A muscular functional component seems to have an important
influence on mandibular growth, both natural and induced by
functional appliance.
• This concept was formulated as “ muscular hypothesis “ to
provide theoretical basis for mode of action of activator.
• According to this hypothesis, myotatic reflex activity of
protractor muscles, especially lateral pterygoid, keep mandible
in forward direction, stimulating the growth of mandible.
Muscular Hypothesis
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
67. 67
• Any response of the skeletal muscle for the
stimuli is through the contractility.
• It can be :
Isotonic
contraction
Isometric
contraction
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
68. 68
Isotonic Contraction
•Is a contraction in which the tone or
tension within the muscle remains the
same, but length of the muscle changes.
•The term isotonic literally means same
tension. Since there is a little or no
resistance (load) placed on the muscle
in an isotonic contraction, all of the
energy is used to pull on the thin
filaments and decrease the length of a
fiber’s sarcomere.
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
69. 69
• Is a contraction in which muscle
length remains the same, but in
which the muscle tension increases.
The term isometric means same
length.
The isometric contractions can
do work by tightening to resist a
force, but they do not produce
movements.
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
Isometric Contraction
70. 70
When the overall length
of a muscle increases during
contraction, it is called an
eccentric contraction.
• E.g. As you lower the
book to place it back on the
table, the previously
shortened biceps gradually
lengthens while it continues
to contract.
Muscle shortens and pulls
on another structure, such
as bone, to produce
movement and to reduce
the angle at a joint
• E.g. Picking up a book
involved concentric
contractions of the biceps
brachii muscle in the arm.
CONCENTRIC CONTRACTION ECCENTRIC CONTRACTION
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
72. MYOTACTIC REFLEX
• Functional significance :
- Serves as a mechanism for upright posture/ standing
- Postural rest position of mandible DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS 72
75. Functions of Growth
Hormone
G.H. stimulates the growth of skeleton. It has specific
action on the epiphysis, cartilages and promote
chondrgenesis, consequent mineralization causes
linear growth of bones.
It stimulate growth of viscera e.g. Liver, Kidney,
Thymus and alimentary canal.
It increase skeletal muscle mass.
75DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
76. Timing of growth hormone release
• Growth hormone is released primarily during
the evening time.
• New bone at the epiphyseal plates occur
during the night time.
76DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
77. • It becomes important to stress to the patient
to wear head gear right from the evening time
rather than waiting for the bed time.
• It is more likely that the tooth movement
occur more faster at this period of time.
77DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
78. GROWTH HORMONE&
SOMATOMEDINS
• Although growth hormone stimulates increased deposition of
proteins, and increased growth in almost all tissues of the body,
its most obvious effect is to increase growth of the skeletal
frame.
• Growth hormone is therefore indicated for the long- term
therapy of children who have growth failure due to inadequate
growth hormone secretion.
78DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
79. Somatomedin may have arised from degradation of growth
hormone itself.
A substance called as somatomedin must be atleast to
some extent under the control of GH, be insulin like in its
actions and stimulate cell growth in one or more
79DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
80. • Generally , GH and somatomedins interact in
such a way that growth results.
• However, in cartilage the mode of action is
different

GH acts on
the cartilage
cells
cartilage cells alter and now
become responsive to the SMs

81. CYBERNETIC THEORY
• Craniofacial growth is an extremely complex process.
• The concept of Cybernetics was put forth by Petrovic
to describe craniofacial growth mechanisms and
method of operation of functional and orthopedic
appliances.
• Cybernetics is based on communication of
information.

86. • Primary cartilages are subjected to general extrinsic
factors and the effects of STH- somatomedin.
Therefore, orthopedic devices can modify the
direction but not the amount of growth.
• Secondary cartilages are subjected to local extrinsic
(epigenetic) factors and the effects of STH-
somatomedin.
Therefore, orthopedic devices may modify the
direction as well as amount of growth.
86DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
87. • There is no negative feed back of excessive
mandibular growth on growth hormone secretion.
This has been termed as “OPEN LOOP” by Petrovic.
• This is the reason that even though there is
excessive mandibular growth in acromegaly GH
secretion continues in the same excessive manner .
87DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
88. Effects of growth hormone on craniofacial
skeleton
AO 2006;76: 970 -977
• 57 patients with GHD were investigated and divided
into 3 groups: Untreated group, Short term therapy
group and Long term therapy group.
• In the untreated group, the anterior cranial base,
total facial height, maxillary length, mandibular total
length, and ramus height were smaller than the
standard values.
88DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
89. Long term therapy group had a significantly large
upper facial height (N- ANS) , maxillary length (A’-
Ptm’) and ramus height (Cd- Go)
Body height at puberty is reported to be correlated
with final body height.
Therefore, to succeed with GH therapy, we need to
promote growth before puberty so that the body
height is similar to that of a normal child before
puberty.
89DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
90. Cephalometric study of children with
various endocrine diseases
AJO 1971; 59: 362-375
• 106 pediatric patients with various
endocrinopathies
• Generalised growth retardation
Anterior pituitary insufficiency
Idiopathic short stature
Delayed puberty
Hypothyroidism
• Greatest retardation seen in PFH
90DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
91. • Most growth occurs during the evening hours when
growth hormone is being secreted.
• Active eruption of teeth occurs during the same
time period, typically between 8 PM to 1 AM.
• The condylar cartilages and alveolar bones of
growing children exhibit a higher percentage of cells
in the DNA synthesis phase during the night than
during the day.
91DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
92. • To take advantage of this time period, it is suggested
that children wear functional appliances from after the
evening meal until they awake in the morning, which
should be approximately 12 hours per day.
• Waiting until bed time to insert the appliance misses
part of the period of active growth.
92DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
93. TESTOSTERONE
Testosterone increases the total quantity of bone
matrix, and it also causes calcium retention.
When great quantities of testosterone (or any other
androgen) are secreted in the growing child, the rate
of bone growth increases markedly, causing a spurt
in total body height as well.
93DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
94. • However, testosterone also causes the epiphyses of
the long bones to unite with the shafts of the bones
at an early age in life.
• Therefore, despite the rapidity of growth this early
uniting of the epiphyses prevents the person from
growing as tall as he would have grown had
testosterone not been secreted at all.
94DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
95. Corticosteroids Effects on bone
and tooth movement
• Corticosteroids are immunosuppressive and
antiinflammatory agents, widely used to treat
pathological processes in medical and dental
practice, in such a way that patients under
orthodontic treatment may present variations
in normal bone remodeling due to the use of
these drugs.
95DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
96. • Evidence indicates that the main effect of
corticosteroids on bone tissue is direct
inhibition of osteoblastic function and thus the
decrease of total bone formation. Decrease in
bone formation is due to elevated parathyroid
hormone levels caused by inhibition of
intestinal calcium absorption which are
induced by corticosteroids.
96DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
97. Effect of menstrual cycle on tooth
movement
• Relationships between ovarian hormones and
serum markers of bone metabolism
• Since mechanically induced bone modeling
and remodeling are essential for orthodontic
tooth movement, the responses to
orthodontic force may vary depending on the
phase of the menstrual cycle.
DR.TINET MARY
AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
97
98. Effect of menstrual cycle on tooth
movement
• Initial studies (1954)
– cyclic variation in the rate of tooth movement in
relation to the menstrual cycle
– rate increased during the second half of the cycle
– fell before or at menstruation.
• Recent studies
– higher levels of bone-resorptive markers around
menstruation.
DR.TINET MARY
AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS

99. ADOLESCENCE
• Adolescence is a sexual
phenomenon.
• It can be defined as the
period of life when sexual
maturity is attained .
99DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
100. • It is the transitional period between the juvenile stage
and adult hood during which the secondary sexual
characteristics appear, the adolescent growth spurt
takes place, fertility is attained and profound
physiologic changes occur .
• All these developments are associated with
accompanying urge in secretion of sex hormones.
• This is the period when functional appliances are most
commonly used.
100DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
101. • There is a great deal of individual variation, but
puberty and the adolescent growth spurt occur on
the average nearly 2 years earlier in girls than in
boys.
• But the phenomenon has an important impact on
the timing of orthodontic treatment, which must be
done earlier in girls than in boys to take advantage of
the adolescent growth spurt.
101DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
102. • Because of the considerable individual variation,
early maturing boys will reach puberty ahead of slow
maturing girls
Chronologic age has very little to do with where an
individual stands developmentally
• The stage of development of secondary sexual
characteristics provides a physiologic calendar of
adolescence that correlates with the individual's
physical growth status.
102DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
103. • Girls have a “juvenile acceleration” in jaw growth
that occurs 1- 2 years before the adolescent growth
spurt.
• In boys ,if a juvenile spurt occurs ,it is nearly always
less intense than the growth acceleration at puberty.
• This juvenile acceleration can equal or even exceed
jaw growth which accompanies secondary sexual
maturation.
103DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
104. • Sex hormones produced by the adrenal glands first
appear at age 6 in both the sexes.
• This activation of adrenal component of system is
called as Adrenarche.
• It is likely that juvenile acceleration in growth is
related to intensity of adrenarche and therefore is
more prominent in girls because of greater adrenal
component of their early sexual development.
104DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
105. • This tendency for a clinically useful acceleration in
jaw growth to precede the adolescent spurt,
particularly in girls, is a major reason for careful
assessment of physiologic age in planning
orthodontic treatment.
• The presence of juvenile growth spurt in girls
accentuates this tendency for significant acceleration
of jaw growth in mixed dentition.
105DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
106. • So if most girls are to receive orthodontic treatment
while they are growing rapidly, it must begin during
the mixed dentition rather than after all
succedaneous teeth have erupted.
• However, in slow maturing boys, the dentition can be
relatively complete while a considerable amount of
physical growth remains.

• Melvin L Moss ( 1962, 1969, 1997 ), emphasize that length of
mandible depends upon the size of oral capsule.
• Any increase in size of oral capsule will result in secondary
bone deposition in TMJ region to keep unchanged
relationship between temporal bone & mandible. ( ‘carry
away’ phenomenon ).
• Prof. Rolf Frankel, from east Germany used this hypothesis in
his functional regulator appliance.
• Both design of appliance and its use are based on functional
matrix hypothesis.

• Enlow, Moffet, Graber and others confirm the Frankel’s
findings that periosteal pull, which is a type of viscoelastic
stretch has the potential to stimulate bone growth.
• In short, FR uses all the logical means for growth modification
namely :
– Active muscular involvement ( proprioception )
– Viscoelastic hypothesis ( periosteal stretch by lip pads/
buccal shields)
– Screening deleterious forces ( lip pads/ buccal shields)
But poor patient cooperation associated with FR favored development of fixed bite jumping

• After extensive study, Johnston (1970s) concluded that the LPM
hyperactivity hypothesis is incorrect.
• His statement shattered notions of how functional appliances
produces skeletal or condylar modifications which was
established 30 years earlier by Andersen & Haupl.
Viscoelastic Hypothesis
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
139. 140
• Support for this theory of ‘ viscoelastic force’ came from work of Herren, Havold, &
Woodside (1973 ).
• They do not accept the theory that myotatic reflex activity with isometric muscle
contractions induces skeletal adaptation.
• It was claimed that viscoelastic properties of muscle & the stretching of soft tissues are
decisive for action of functional appliances.
• During each application of force, secondary forces arise in the tissues, introducing a
bioelastic process for induction of bone.
According to proponents of viscoelastic theory, its not the LPM
but the retrodiscal tissue which is responsible for bony
deposition of glenoid fossa or increase in length of condylar
cartilage.
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
140. 141
• Hence, any appliance which keeps the mandible
forward ( irrespective of how, actively or passively ) will
induce bone formation & subsequent increase in
mandibular length.
• This hypothesis formed the basis for mode of action of
most of the existing bite jumping appliances including
fixed appliances.

Proposed 4lines of evidence suggesting that the LPM plays a role in the physiologic control
of the condylar cartilage growth rate:
1. After surgical resection of the LPM in the growing rat, untreated or treated with a
functional appliance, a relative decrease in the growth of the condylar cartilage was
observed.
2. Electromyographic record of the LPM in the monkey treated with a functional
appliance shows increased electrical activity.
AJODO 1990
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
148. 149
3. The LPM was directly stimulated by means of intermittent electric shocks ( frequency,
5times /sec; duration, 10ms; potential, 0.55v ).
This microelectronic stimulation of the LPM produced an increased rate of condylar
cartilage growth.
4. After treatment with the postural hyperrpropulsor, there is a significant increase in
the proportion of fast non-fatigable fibres in the young rat’s LPM
These authors suggested that increased activity of the LPM will
result tension in the posterior part of condylar capsule because of
its attachment to the articular disc.

• McNamara & Petrovic noticed one peculiar phenomenon where patient
experienced pain when mandible was retracted.
PTERYGOID RESPONSE(petrovic 1980)

• Refers to growth that is relative to the displaced condyles from actively
relocating fossae.
• According to authors, there is no role of muscles for growth modification.
• Basis for this non muscular theory came from following two observations:
– Attachments of the LPM to the condylar head or articular disc may be
expected to cause condylar growth, but anatomic research has not
found evidence that significant attachments actually exist.

• Three growth stimuli in growth relativity
Displacement + viscoelasticity + referred force
1) The concept that viscoelastic tissue forces can effect growth of the condyle
suggests that modification first occurs as a result of the action of anterior
orthopedic displacement. (Displacement).
2) The condyle is affected by the posterior viscoelastic tissues anchored
between the glenoid fossa and the condyle, inserting directly into the condylar
fibrocartilage. ( viscoelasticity)
3) New bone formation – some distance from the actual retrodiscal
attachments in the fossa by the transduction of forces over the fibrocartilage
cap of the condylar head.

3D prospective illustrates the growth relativity hypothesis in the orthopedically
advanced condyle. The posterior, anterior & lateral attachments of the
retrodiscal- articular disc complex are shown. This guides the condyle upward

Growth relativity hypothesis for condylar & glenoid fossa growth with
continuous orthopedic displacement.
3 factors influence growth modification : A) displacement B)viscoelastic
tissue pull (arrows) C) transduction with fibrocartilage.
Viscoelastic tissues include :
B1 – superior & inferior bands of retrodiscal fibres
B2 – fibrous capsule (fine white lines )
B3 – synovial fluid perfusion in a posterior direction
The pull of the retrodiscal fibres, capsule & the flow of the synovial fluids
on the condyle relative to glenoid fossa are in a posterosuperior direction.
The forces are translated to the condyle with the articular disks ( blue
region) posterior, anterior, lateral & medial attachments.

• Condyle acts as a light bulb on a
dimmer switch.
• When condylar growth is
continuously advanced, it lights up
like a bulb.
• When condyle is released from the
anterior displacement, the reactivated
muscle activity dims the light bulb &
returns it close to normal growth
activity.
In the boxed area, the upper open coil
shows the potential of the anterior
digastric muscle & other peri mandibular
connective tissues to reactivate & return
the condyle back into the fossa once the
advancement is released.
The lower coil in the box represents the
shortened inferior LPM.

• Hence this growth relativity theory totally discard any role of muscles in
growth modification of mandible.
• Authors claim that there is decreased muscle activity, even not normal.
• After considering all these hypothesis/ theories ( muscular, viscoelastic,
functional, growth relativity ) the obvious question arise –
Which one is best to explain mandibular growth??
DR.TINET MARY AUGUSTINE.BDS.MDS
159. 160
• Enlow & Hans (1996,2001 ) presented an excellent
overall perspective suggesting that mandibular growth
is a composite of regional forces and functional
agents of growth control that interact in response to
specific extracondylar activating signals.
• In other words, mandible grow under the influence of
all these variables and therefore, its growth cannot be
attributed to any one particular variable.

• These include :
1. Retardation or redirection of the mesial and vertical growth of maxilla.

3. Retardation of the mesial and vertical maxillary dentoalveolar growth.
