6 What are indications for orthodontic work (Socially
unacceptable teeth, socially acceptable teeth where the pt is
seeking better quality of life, increase function etc)
7 Which of these cause open bite? (thumb sucking. Not tongue
thrust or loss of anterior teeth)

13 SHORT ANSWER: Photo of Asian lady from lecture. Make a
problem list. Given photos, intra and extra oral photos,
OPG, Lat ceph and measurements WITH normal
measurements. Just need to be able to interpret the

20 MCQ, 1 SA: Problem List

first molar had to be prematurely extracted, which is the best appliance to maintain
the space?

Both upper first molars missing, best appliance?

Tanaka and Johnson method

What can cause an open bite (Options: tongue thrusting, thumb sucking and loss of
anterior teeth I think it was just the first two)

SNA increased, what does this mean? (options included proclination of incisors, large
maxilla, large class II etc)

What is pognonion

What is Point A

Hyperdivergent features (options included mandibular plane angles, open bit/over jet
etc)

Concave profile, normal facial height and nasolabial angle of 100 what does it
indicate (pretty sure it was in regards to dental occlusion)

10 Picture of occluding teeth options had dental occlusion class and other things such
as open bite/over jet/overbit etc)
11 Ceph imposition pick which option best described what had happened
12 7 year old sucks thumb for 2 hours every night, what is the effect
13 Reasons for Orth treatment e.g. fix aesthetic/social problems, adjunct to perio &
resto & endo answered All of the Above
14 Inherited factors
Problem List:
Given: photographs (frontal, profile, frontal smiling), 6 images of dental arches/occlusion etc,
ceph xray, and OPG

3026DOH ORTHO EXAM (2010)

20 MCQ and 1 Short answer. 1 hour.
1. Criticisms of Angles Classification
2. What does a large SNA mean? Options included: proclined incisors, large maxilla
3. A concave A-P jaw relationship suggests what kind of skeletal class? Class 3
4. What is a Class 2 division 2 relationship?
5. Features of Tanaka and Johnston Method. I.e. requires no radiographs, no lengthy
tables, graphs or equations, reasonably accurate
6. Cranial landmarks written definition for Pogonion and Nasion (e.g. most anterior
point of the bony chin)
7. Which of the following cause anterior open bite? Thumb sucking , genetics (N),
Tongue thrusting (N)

8. A pt comes in to tell you that their child sucks their thumb from 7pm -9pm every
night without fail, what will you see? Options include anterior open bite, narrow
maxilla but its a trick question because pressure duration needs to exceed 4-6 hrs to
have any biological effect.
9. Which of the following reason is an indication for orthodontics? Remove or
alleviate social handicap, enhance dental/facial appearance in individuals who are
socially acceptable but wish to improve quality of life, to improve function etc answer was all of the above.
10. Picture of Mx Arch with 4 missing primary molars (2 on each side) which space
maintenance appliance would you use? Options included Nance aplicane, LLA,
Band and loop and Crown and loop. Answer was Band and Loop.
11. See summary of genetic influences from Known Causes of Malocclusion lecture
- i.e. Not more than 50% of occlusal traits are inherited, Certain types of
malocclusion (esp md proganthism) have a strong inherited component,
malocclusion cannot be explained by genetic drift/outbreeding
12. What is skeletal hyperdivergence?
13. What measurements would you need to measure skeletal divergence? FMA, SnMp and Mx to MP
Short Answer
You are given a profile view, facial view, dental casts, radiographs and OPG of a lady
with malocclusion to create a dental, facial and skeletal problem list.
She had a convex profile with anterior open bite, severe over jet, protrusive lips
and a deficient chin etc.
Youre given all the ceph measurements as well as whats normal and whats not,
and just have to interpret them, so DONT memorize and ceph numbers!
