Q

what is the difference between teeth and osseous-integrated implant?

A 
Tooth:

Q

Describe vertical movements.

A

Continued eruption:

  • compensation for wear (occlusal and incisal)
  • bone deposition (apically and cervically)
  • Cementum deposition (increased cementum thickness)

Q

what is the result of medial drift?

A 
– 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

Q

what are the mechanisms for medial drift intrinsic to periodontium?

A
  • Bone remodeling
  • PDL fibres
    > Transeptal fibres
20
Q

what is the evidence for occlusal forces?

A
  • Vertical occlusal load applied:
    > Horizontal vector of force
    > Occlusal load of 9Kg results in a horizontal load of
    • 2.25Kg against the molars
    • 5Kg against the canines
  • Approximal tooth wear must require a force pushing teeth together
21
Q

what is the evidence against occlusal forces?

A

occlusal loads transient

22
Q

what type of force is medial drift?

A

anterior vector to closing force

23
Q

How was medial drift visualised?

A

contact points opened up with cutting disk

24
Q

what was the result from extracting opposing teeth?

A

medial drift was faster

25
what was the result of flattened cusps?
medial drift was faster
26
What was the result of reshape cusps ?
one side favoured medial drift and other side opposed it
27
what is the conclusion for occlusal forces?
– occlusal forces partly involved in mesial drift | – but not the most important factor
28
what are the soft tissue forces?
forces from cheeks (buccinator ) and tongue
29
what experiment was used to tests soft tissue forces effect on medial drift?
– Cover teeth with acrylic dome – No opposing teeth – Still get mesial drift
30
what was the conclusion for soft tissues forces?
not likely to play a role
31
what is the evidence for forces from erupting molars?
Extraction of premolars: | – Spaces close more rapidly when molars erupting
32
what is the evidence against forces from erupting molars?
``` > Mesial drift occurs throughout life – Even after molars erupted > Still get mesial drift: – If no adjacent tooth contacts – Anterior to an ankylosed tooth ```
33
what is the evidence for bone remodelling?
Get remodelling at same time as mesial drift
34
what is the evidence against bone remodelling?
- Marker experiments show that bone fills in | - Effect, not cause
35
Describe the PDL fibres : transeptal fibres affect on medial drift.
- Transeptal fibres maintain tooth contact - Stabilise tooth position - Less orthodontic relapse if cut - mesial drift slows down when fibres are cut
36
what is the summary of the cause of medial drift?
- multifactorial: >Greatest factor: PDL -transeptal fibres >Other factor: occlusal forces (not likely erupting molars)
37
what is the result of orthodontics applying small continuous forces?
– Bone remodel – PDL remodel – Tooth movement
38
what are the 3 types of orthodontic tooth movement?
– Tipping – Bodily – rotational
39
During tipping movements , where is the force greatest?
Movements and hence forces greater the further away from the fulcrum
40
How much force?
> Ideally close to naturally occurring forces (e.g. mesial drift) > Ideally less than the PDL capillary pressure: – If < capillary pressure – PDL remains normal – If > capillary pressure - ischaemia > Depends on type of movement and size of tooth
41
what are the forces (g) for different tooth movements?
tipping - 30-60g bodily - 60-120g rotational - 30-60g intrusion - 10-20g
42
what is the result of light forces?
- Compression : frontal resorption by osteoclasts | - Tension : deposition by osteoblasts
43
what is the result of heavy forces?
- Compression ++ (capillary pressure exceeded) : undermining endosteal resorption by osteoclasts - Tension : deposition by osteoblasts
44
What are the possible effects of excessive forces?
``` > Pain – Ischaemic – Inflammatory - necrosis > Unrepaired hyalinisation > Pulp death – strangulation of vessels at apex > Root resorption – Odontoclasts – Can self repair – new cementum infill ```
45
Describe remodelling of principle collagen fibres.
– Rapid below alveolar crest – Slower above alveolar crest • Supralaveolar • Especially transeptal • Rotations
46
what is the need for retention?
– Long term / permanent e.g.: • Large space closure | • Correction of severe rotations
