|
Optimal orthodontic treatment could be possible when a orthodontist can predict and control tooth movement by applying a planned force system to the dentition.
The moment to force(M/F) ratio at the bracket, has been shown to be a primary determinate of the pattern of tooth movement. As various M/F ratios are applied to the bracket on the tooth crown, strain distribution in periodontium can be changed, and the center of rotation in tooth movement can be determined. It is, therefore, so important in cinicalorthodontics to know the strain distribution in a force system of a WF ratio.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the strain distribution in orthodontic force system by strain gauge attached to tooth root, and to evaluate the usage of the method. For this study, an experimental upper anterior arch model was constructed, where upper central incisors, on the root surface of which, 8 strain gauges were attached, were implanted in the photoelastic resin, as in the case of 4mm midline diastema. Three types of closing of upper midline diastema closure were compared :1. with elastomeric chain(100g force) in no arch wire, 2. elastomeric chain in .016" round steel wire, 3. elastomeric chain in .016"X.022" rectangular steel wire.
The resuAs were as follows.
1. Strain distributions on labial, lingual, mesial and distal root surface of tooth were able to be evaluated with the strain
gauge method, and the patterns of tooth rotation were understood by presuming the location of moment aria.
2. Extrusion and tipping movement of tooth was seen in closing in no arch wire, and intrusion and bodily movement
was seen with steel arch wire inserted.
