Biology And Biomechanics Of Tooth Movement Flashcards
Another name for center of mass
Free bodies
Do teeth have center of mass?
No they center of resistance, they are not a free body because they are constrained by PDL and alveolar bone
Center of resistance
1/2 to 1/3rd from CEJ to apex in health
Free body
Center of mass/gravity = point of balance
Restrained body (tooth)
Center of resistance
Cres
Point at which resistance to movement can be concentrated for mathematical analysis
What happens when force is applied to the center of resistance?
Moves the tooth with no tipping
5 factors affecting the location of Cres
-Alveolar bone height
-Size of tooth
-# of roots
-root length
- # of teeth
Rigid body movements
Rotations, translations or combo of two
scalars
Magnitude and no direction
ex. Temperature, mass, length, time-algebric addition
Vectors
Magnitude and direction
Ex. Force, velocity, electric intensity field, acceleration
Force
-Load applied to an object that will tend to move it in the direction of the applied force
-unit = newton
-ortho = measured grams or ounces
Parallelogram law
Force 1 + force 2 = resultant force
Moment
Tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis
Couple
-Two equal and opposite force whose lines of action do not coincide
-pure rotation around Cr
Mf = F x d
Moment caused by a force = force x distance
Force through Cr is?
Translation
For not through Cr is ?
Translation and rotation
What does ortho force cause not through Cr?
Mf
