14 days
3
Q

A
Stretching PDL: osteoblasts
Compressing PDL: osteoclasts
4
Q

2x the amount of force
5
Q

2-4 weeks
7
Q

A
4-6 hour per day
9
Q
After ~4 hours of light orthodontic pressure against a tooth what molecule levels become increased?

10
Q

~ 2 days
11
Q

13
Q

A
Junction of the middle and apical thirds of the root
14
Q
What is the optimal force range for tipping movements?
A
35-60 g
Lighter forces better for tipping: the lighter the force applied, the more apical the fulcrum
15
Q
What ratio determines the type of tooth movement?
A
The moment produced by the force applied to move a tooth (MF) / the counterbalancing moment produced by the couple used to control lroot position (MC)
16
Q
When the MF/MC ratio = 0 what type of movement is produced?
A
Tipping
Tooth rotates around the center of resistance
17
Q
When the MC/MF ratio > 1 what type of movement occurs?
A
Radicular
Apex carries primary movement, fulcrum at the middle and cervical third of the root
18
Q
When the MC/MF ratio = 1 what type of movement occurs?
A
Translation/bodily movement
crown and apex travel in same direction.
19
Q
What are the four aims of orthodontics?
A
- Proper assessment and supervision of the occlusion
- Removal of etiological factors that may disrupt normal growth patterns (interceptive action)
- To correct conditions that may allow the occlusion to deteriorate (preventative measures)
- To establish and maintain as functional and as close to normal an occlusion (corrective acts)
20
Q

Dental follicle
26
What is the hyalinization process of orthodontic movement?
When force is great enough to totally occlude PDL blood vessels, sterile necrosis of compressed cells occurs which causes a delay of ~ 7-14 days for cellular elements to invade necrotic area and stimulate resorption and tooth movement
27
Heavier orthodontic forces cause faster or slower tooth movement?
Slower due to hyalinization
28
