Dental and Audiology
Cleft Palate Exam 2
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Geneticist | To see if there is a genetic component |
Orthodontics | ONLY realigns dentition if there is malocclusion |
Prosthodontist | Prosthetics for VP closure, implants/speech bulbs or palate expanders |
Otolaryngoloist (ENT) | ET tube w/ tensor veli palatini, otis media |
Pediatrician | Are they ready for surgery |
Plastic surgeon | Oral-maxilla facial vs just palates surgeon |
Social Worker | Connect families w/ resources and keep up with follow up |
Who often serves as team coordinator? | Surgeon or nurse |
How many teeth does an adult have? | 32 |
How many teem does a child have? | 20 |
When do baby teeth appear? | 8-12 months |
Class 1 malocclusion | Anterior cusp of first maxillary molar is posterior to the cusp of the first mandibular molar, normal occlusion |
Class 2 malocclusion | Mandibular retrusion and/or maxillary protrusion, overbite |
Class 3 malocclusion | Mandibular portrusion and/or maxillary retrusion, underbite |
Overjet | Horizontal displacement, greater than 2 mm is clinically relevant, maxilla forward compared to mandible |
Overbite | Maxilla covers teeth, vertical displacement |
Crossbite | Upper teeth inside the lower jaw, teeth curved inward |
Supernumerary | Too many teeth |
Open bite | Molar touch in the back but front is open |
Palatal obturator | Occlude an open cleft or fistula, require teeth to anchor |
When should palatal obturator be considered? | When surgery is not an option or not wanted, syndromes with high-risk under anesthesia or with cardiac issues |
Speech bulb | Occludes nasopharynx, can't nose breath, production of nasal consonants affected, can help during articulation to reduce hypernasality |
When is a speech bulb used? | For production of stronger pressure consonants when VP surgery is not an option |
Chin Cap | Prevent/correct mandibular prognathism to restrict growth |
Face masks | Added to orthodontic treatment to align the jaw |
What is the role of the SLP? | Identify the difference between obligatory or compensatory articulation arrears |
Obligatory | Related to dental work or anatomy |
Compensatory | Abnormal articulation pattern post dental work/surgery or without anatomical abnormalities |
Why do birth-3 children have greater audiological issues? | ET is more horizontal and the TVP is abnormal, leaning to less opening/closing for kids with cleft |
Hearing loss in birth-3 cleft kids | Bilateral and conductive |
Micortia | Deformation of the pinna, common for males, often right ear |
Anotia (rare) | Complete absence of the outer ear and narrowing/absence of the ear canal |
Atresia | Closed external ear, membranous or osseous covering |
Ossicular abnormalities | Fusion and discontinuities |
Ossicular fusion | Fixation, ossicular chain fused together |
Ossicular discontinuities | Chain is broken |
Causes of ossicular abnormalities | Genetic and teratogens (viral infections) |
Eustachian tube malformations | Chronic Oritis Media |
Chronic Otitis Media | Middle ear inflammation, adenoids inflamed = affecting opening of ET or dysfunction (allergies/sinitus) |
Treatment of Chronic Otitis Media | Medication, PE Tubes, adenoidectomy can sometimes mitigate |
