parallelogram method or by addition of their
components in a reference system.

A

23
Q

entails drawing the two concurrent forces (F1 and F2) to
scale at appropriate angulations.

A

parallelogram

24
Q

The diagonal of this parallelogram from the point of force
application, when measured and converted using the
specified scale, gives the _______ of the resultant (R).

A

magnitude

25
Q

Forces have what 4 things?

A
  • Line of action.
  • Direction.
  • Magnitude.
  • Point of application.
26
Q

Force application in orthodontics is analyzed in relation to the ________ of a tooth or group of teeth.

A

Centre of Resistance

C of Res.

27
Q

______ is the point on the tooth where if a force is

applied will result in bodily movement or translation.

A

C of Res

28
Q

C of Res is located on the ______ of the tooth approx.

30% from the alveolar crest.

A

long axis

29
Q

C of Res is located on the long axis of the tooth approx.

___ % from the alveolar crest.

A

30%

30
Q

The center of resistance is a constant point for any given tooth and
depends on what 4 things?

A
  • The root length
  • Thickness
  • Bone
  • Periodontal ligament
31
Q

•The point around which the tooth rotates

A

Center of Rotation

32
Q

The location of the center of rotation is dependent on the_______ applied to the tooth

A

force

system

33
Q

This force system to determine center of rotation is considered as the _________

A

Moment to Force

ratio (M/F)

34
Q

_____ is the tendency for a force to produce rotation or tipping of a tooth.
-determined by multiplying the magnitude of the force (F) by the
perpendicular distance (d) from the center of resistance to the line of action of
this force.

A

Moment

35
Q

_____ is a system having two parallel forces of equal magnitude
acting in opposite directions

A

Couple

36
Q

Every point of a body to which a couple is applied is under a rotational
effect in the ____ direction and magnitude.

A

same

37
Q

T/F: A couple can never move the center of resistance, and with a couple
the center of rotation and the center of resistance will always be
coincident.

A

True

38
Q

A couple causes an object to ________

regardless of the point of application.

A

rotate around its center of resistance

39
Q

Two forces ____ in magnitude and _____ in direction.

A

equal; opposite

40
Q

Perhaps the simplest way to determine how a tooth
will move is to consider:
•The ratio between the moment created when a force is
applied to the crown of a tooth. (moment of the force MF)
•The counter-balancing moment generated by a couple
within the bracket. (moment of the couple MC)

A

MC/MF ratio

41
Q

MC/MF = 0

What happens?

A

•Uncontrolled tipping (tooth rotates around center of resistance)

42
Q

0 < MC/MF < 1

What happens?

A

•Controlled tipping (inclination of tooth changes but the center of rotation is
displaced away from the center of resistance, and the root and crown move
in the same direction).

43
Q

MC/MF = 1

What happens?

A

•Bodily movement(equal movement of crown and root).

44
Q

MC/MF > 1

What happens?

A

•Torque (root apex moves further than crown)

45
Q

•The simplest form of orthodontic movement is tipping.
•Tipping movements are produced when a single force is applied against the crown
of a tooth.
•When this is done, the tooth rotates around its “center of resistance”.
•Force applied at the bracket causes crown to move one way, and the root the
other.
•Centre of Rotation (C of Rot) point around which the tooth is located at C of Res.

A

Uncontrolled tipping

46
Q

To control the M of the F, we must introduce another MOMENT produced by
a ______ which acts in opposition to the M of the F.

A

COUPLE

47
Q

Further increasing the Moment of the Couple completely counters the M of
the F and moves the C of Rot to infinity => _____

A

Translation

48
Q

Increasing the M of the Couple to exceed the M of the F moves the C of Rot
to the incisal edge => ________

A

palatal crown torque.

49
Q

Involves moving the C of Rot away from the C of Res.
•Accomplished by applying a Moment of a Couple to counter
the Moment of the Force.

A

Controlled tipping

50
Q

If the force passes through the center of
resistance of the tooth, the tooth will
move ________
•The center of rotation goes to the infinity.
•In this movement the moment caused by
the arch wire is compensating for the
moment of the force.

A

bodily or translate.
