Physiology of Tooth Movement Flashcards
What are the types of tooth movement
physiological
orthodontic
What are the physiological tooth movements
tooth eruption
mesial drift
How is orthodontic movement done
through externally generated forces
What are the different movements in tooth eruption
pre-eruptive tooth movement intra-osseous eruption mucosal penetration pre-occlusal eruption post-occlusal eruption
What is the speed of pre-eruptive tooth movement
small and random
What is the speed of intra-osseous eruption
occurs after crown forms
slow
1mm takes around 3-24 months
What is the speed of mucosal penetration
fast
1mm takes about 2 weeks
What is the speed of pre occlusal eruption
slow
What is the speed of post occlusal eruption
very slow
What are the different tooth eruption theories
pulpal pressure
pulpal growth
fibroblast traction
blood vessel thrust
main 3:
root elongation
alveolar bone remodel
PDL formation
What is the process of tooth eruption
the dental follicle is the mediator for bone resorption
the bone and the deciduous root has to be resorbed for the tooth to come through
apical blood flow is important
collagen fibre cross linking is only important after eruption
parathyroid hormone receptor gene (PTHR1 and PPE)
How can orthodontics utilize tooth eruption
to minimize impact of a developing malocclusion
How can an ectopic upper permanent canine be treated
by interceptive extraction of the deciduous canine (10-13yrs)
How can permanent teeth be encouraged to erupt
if deciduous tooth is extracted at correct stage
1/3-2/3 of root development
What is the physiological basis of orthodontics
if an external force is applied to a tooth, the tooth will move as the bone around it remodels
if a tooth has no PLD or it is ankylosed it will not move
What is the bony remodeling seen in orthodontics mediated by
periodontal ligament
Why does bone resorb and cementum not in tooth movement
cementum is more resistant to resorption than bone
although some degree of root resorption after ortho should be expected
What does an orthodontist do
manages the growth and development of the teeth face and jaws
What are the 3 theories for orthodontic tooth movement
differential pressure theory
piezo electric theory
mechano-chemical theory
