OB P9 + 10 : Tooth movements Flashcards
where are occlusal forces greater?
greater between molars than incisors
what are the physiological chewing forces?
– 70-150N dentate (between molars)
– Edentulous 4-55N
what are the maximum clenching forces?
– 500-700N between molars
– Up to 1500N – Inuits
what is the load applied in the horizontal and vertical plane in tooth movement?
- Greater movement in horizontal plane (~100μm)
- Lesser movement in the vertical plane (~10μm)
what are the tooth support components?
- bone
- PDL fibres
- PDL fluids
what is responsible for the drag response on the movement/time graph?
Visco-elastic system
Describe the viscosity of the Visco-elastic tooth support.
-extracellular matrix - aggregates at rest-therefore less mobility
-Periodontal fluids:
>interstitial
>blood
Describe the elasticity of the Visco-elastic tooth support.
- collagen
- bone
- osseointegrated implants (“pure” elastic support)
what is the difference between teeth and osseous-integrated implant?
Tooth: -PDL and bone -Viscoelastic support Osseointegrated implant : -no PDL -Elastic support-bone -much less movement
what are the 4 types of post -eruptive movements?
- vertical
- buccal
- mesial
- orthodontic
Describe vertical movements.
Continued eruption:
- compensation for wear (occlusal and incisal)
- bone deposition (apically and cervically)
- Cementum deposition (increased cementum thickness)
Describe the buccal movements.
- growth of jaws
- bone remodelling
when does medial drift occur?
throughout life
what is mesial drift?
teeth drift in medial direction -towards arch midline
what is the result of medial drift?
– Compensates for approximal wear – Incisal crowding – Shortening of dental arch – may make space for 8’s – Orthodontic relapse – Space closure following tooth loss • Positive • Negative
what is approximal surface wear?
teeth rub against each other
What are the measurements of medial drift?
From 6-18 years : 3-4mm
With hard diet : 7mm
what are the mechanisms for medial drift extrinsic to periodontium?
- Occlusal forces
- Muscular soft tissue forces
- Erupting molars
