2, biology of ortho movement Flashcards
what are the injuries of tissues and their subsequent remodeling and repair?
- resorption/apposition of bone
- resorption of root surfaces
- hyalinization of the PDL
under heavy forces what occurs in and around the tooth?
- PDL compression on the pressure side with bone bending and transduction of a signal to cells: 1-2 seconds
- the fluid is expressed from the PDL space and the tooth moves within the PDL
- the blood vessels are occluded: 3-5 seconds
- blood flow is cut off: minutes
- cell death-hyalinization: hours
- cell differentiation from bone marrow spaces: 3-5 days
- undermining resorption and tooth movement: 7-14 days
how does the tooth move during the initial and secondary periods?
initially, the tooth will move a little bit, but then not really for a week or two. Then in the secondary period, there is pretty steady movement
lag phase
2-10 week, undermining resorption
progressive tooth movement
after lag phase, frontal resorption
Light forces
- blood vessels partially compressed and PDL fibers are distorted: 3-5 s
- blood flow is altered, oxygen tension is changing and release of PROSTAGLANDINS AND CYTOKINES: minutes
- metabolic changes: chemical messenger to alter cell activity, enzyme levels change: hours
- Increased cAMP levels, cellular differentiation starts: 4 h
- tooth movement occurs with osteoblasts/clasts coupling: 2 days
- frontal resorption
- NO SIGNIFICANT hyalinization zone observable
what is the hyalinized zone?
- it is a zone of “cellular necrosis” in the PDL that looses all organization or structure and looks like cartilage
- under a light microscope, the hyalinizaed zone looks like ground glass
- no tooth movement occurs until this zone has been remodeled
- hyalinization is also observed during physiologic tooth migration
which cells are the first ones to invade the hyalinized PDL?
“pioneer cellls”
- mononuclear cells with numerous processes and small inclusions
- blood vessels are commonly the primary invading structures
- the tissue that was away from the advancing edge of the hyalinization was typically invaded by larger mononuclear cells
- CONCLUSION: hyalinized tissue is replaced by cellular and vascular invasion from surrounding undamaged PDL
what are the vascular changes on the pressure side?
- at the ultrastructural level, 3 phases are seen (per rygh, 1972):
1. intact blood vessels walls are filled with erythrocytes (30 minutes)
2. Partial disintegradation of the blood vessels, degradation of the erythrocytes and formation of cryst-like structures (2h-48h)
3. complete disintegration of blood vessels, amorphous necrotic cell remnants and degradation of crytal-like structures (1-7 days)
what hormones play a role?
the first messanger
PTH and calcitonin may play a role: both hormones are mediated by cyclic nucleotides and calcium
-prostaglandins(?), VIP, CGRP
what does physical distortion of the cellular membrane do?
-alters its polarity and increases permeability and activates membrane bound enzymes?
The second messanger
cAMP
- Davidovitch and shanfel have reported that an increase in levels of cAMP is associated to tooth movement
- increased levels of cGMP have also been reported
- Somjen (1980) reported that the increase in cAMP coincides with the stretching of cells and is prostaglandin dependent
what i messanger is associated with cell stretching?
prostaglandins
-PGE2 levels increase on both tension and compression sides
what would injections of PGE2 do to the tooth/bone?
yamasaki showed that local injections of PGE2 may increase the rate of bone resorption (?) PGE2 may influence bone growth
which cytokines increase bone resporption?
iL 1 alpha and 1 beta
