Ortho Lec Quiz Part 2 : anchorage Flashcards
Refers to the nature and degree of
resistance to displacement offered by
an anatomic unit when used for the
purpose of effecting tooth movement
Anchorage
It is the resistance to unwanted tooth
movement
Anchorage
Parts of an Orthodontic
Appliance
- Active elements
- Resistance elements
PART OF ORTHODONTICS APPLIANCE
It is concerned with tooth movements
Active element
PARTS OF ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE
Provide the resistance (anchorage) that makes the tooth movements possible.
Resistance elements
For every action, there is an equal and
opposite reaction
Newton’s law
3 Classification of Anchorage:
According to the Manner of Force
Application
- Simple Anchorage
- Stationary Anchorage
- Reciprocal anchorage
Resistance to tipping, meaning, the tooth is free to tip during movement.
Simple Anchorage
Resistance to bodily movement,
meaning, the tooth is permitted to
translate only
Stationary Anchorage
Two or more teeth moving in opposite directions and pitted against each other by the appliance. Both resistance units are malposed and the dissipation of the equal and opposite forces tends to move each unit toward a more normal occlusion
Reciprocal anchorage
Classification of anchorage According to the jaws involved
- Intra-maxillary
- Intermaxillary
Anchorage established in the same jaw.
Intra-maxillary
Anchorage distributed to both jaws.
Intermaxillary
Classification of Anchorage: According to the site of anchorage
- Intra-oral
- Extra-oral
Anchorage established within the mouth, utilizing the teeth, mucosa or other intra - oral structures.
Intra-oral
Anchorage obtained outside the oral cavity
extra-oral
Sources of Anchorage
Cervical - Utilizing the neck ( neck straps)
Occipital - Utilizing the occipital region (head gears)
Cranial - Involving the cranium ( high pull head gears)
Facial - involving the aspects of the face ( face masks)
take note
Classification of Anchorage: according to the number of anchorage units
A. Single or Primary Anchorage
B. Compound Anchorage
C. Multiple Anchorage
Anchorage involving only one tooth
Single or Primary Anchorage
Anchorage involving two or more teeth
Compound Anchorage
- Anchorage in which more than one type of resistance unit is utilized
• Tissue and tooth borne anchorage
• Reinforced anchorage
Multiple Anchorage
• Is derived from implants, miniplates that are secured with screws to the basal bone of the maxilla and mandible.
• A screw with a channel for attaching a spring that is placed in the alveolar bone.
• Are used to enhance orthodontic
anchorage, providing stability and able to withstand orthodontic force levels.
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADS)
Characteristics of an ideal Anchorage Device
- Simple to use
- Inexpensive
- Immediately loadable
- Small dimension
- Withstand orthodontic forces
- Immobile
- Does not require compliance
- Biocompatible
- Provide superior result
- Can be fixed to bone cortically or
biochemically ( osseointegrated)
Biocompatible TADS
- A surgical fixation method like screws
- A modification of a dental implant
Advantages of TADS
• It makes difficult or impossible tooth
movement possible especially in the
adults
• No movement of other teeth that are
not intended to be moved.
