HISTORY
*Biologic mechanism of tooth movement by Krishnan 2nd edition
6. ⢠Teeth & periodontal structures are subjected to forces (Intermittent heavy
force ) up to 1-2 kg (soft foods) to as much as 50 kg (more resistant object)
during mastication .
⢠Force is transmitted to the alveloar bone which bends in response with
generation of piezoeelectric currents .
⢠It acts as a important stimulus to skeletal regeneration & repair resulting in
adaptation of bony architecture to fuctional demands

9. Orthodontic Versus Orthopedic Force
Orthodontic force âforce applied to teeth for the purpose of
effecting tooth movement, generally having a magnitude lower than an
orthopedic force,â
Orthopedic force âforce of higher magnitude in relation to an
orthodontic force, when delivered via teeth for 12 to 16 hours a day, is
supposed to produce a skeletal effect on the maxillofacial complex.
Glossary of orthodontic terms. Berlin: Quintessence; 2000.
Remodeling & adaptive changes in paradental tissues - amounts of force - 20 to 150 g / tooth.
Higher magnitudes of mechanical forces-more than 300 g in attempts to modify the form of
craniofacial bones

Compression of blood
vessels & PDL
Prostaglandins are released
Synthesis of cAMP

13. Undermining resorptionElimination of hyalinized tissue
⢠Invasion of cells and blood vessels from the
periphery of the compressed zone by which
necrotic tissue is removed.
⢠The invading cells penetrate the hyalinized
tissue and eliminate unwanted fibrous tissue
by enzymatic action and phagocytosis.

19. Pressure-tension theory
Sandstedt (1904), Oppenheim (1911), and Schwarz (1932)
The hypothesis explains that
Pressure side- the PDL disorganization and diminution of fiber
production, cell replication decreases due to vascular constriction.
Tension side- stimulation produced by stretching of PDL fiber bundles
results in an increase in cell replication .
Compressed PDL Stretched PDL
23. PATHWAYS OF TOOTH MOVEMENT
Mostafa et al (1983) described integrated model showing 2 pathways of tooth movement
ď Pathway I- More physiologic response
- Associated with normal bone growth and remodeling
ď Pathway II- Alternative pathway
-Classic inflammatory response after force application
ď Recent model based -Stress in any form- compressive,
tensile, shear, will evoke many reactions in the cell,
leading to development of Strain

33. Deleterious effects of orthodontic forces
⢠Mobility
⢠Pain
⢠Effects on Pulp
⢠Effects on root
Generalized resorption â moderate , severe
Localised resorption
⢠Effect on treatment height of alveolar bone
34. Mobility
⢠Radiographically, it can be observed
that the PDL space widens.
⢠Heavier force - greater the amount of
undermining resorption expected -
greater the mobility.
⢠If a tooth becomes extremely mobile
during orthodontic treatment, all forces
should be discontinued until the
mobility decreases to moderate levels
Effects on the pulp
⢠Modest and transient inflammatory
response within the pulp, with no long-
term significance
⢠Abrupt movement of the root apex could
severe the blood vessels as they enter.
⢠According to some studies, endodontically
treated teeth are slightly more prone to
root resorption during orthodontics.

35. Effect on alveolar bone height
⢠Excessive loss of crestal bone height
is almost never seen as a
complication of orthodontic tooth
movement
⢠Almost never exceeds 1 mm, greatest
changes at extraction sites
Pain related to orthodontic treatment

38. Tissue response in sutures
⢠Rapid Max expansion & the traction generated by
orthopedic forces stimulate the sutural growth & widens
the midpalatal suture and changes in orientation of fiber
bundles.
⢠Increase in the osteoid and new bone formation occurs.
⢠Tranduction of mechanical force into bone formation
occurs by influx of Ca & Na ions & decreases cAMP &
promotes the cellular proliferation and DNA synthesis.

39. Tissue response in TMJ
⢠McNamara has shown that TMJ is capable of functional adaptation when
the mandible is displaced in a Forward direction.
⢠Hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the prechondroblastic and chondroblastic
layers of condylar cartilage are seen in the posterior border of the condyle.
⢠A mandibular retrusion by chin cup therapy in the rat revealed a reduced
thickness of prechondroblastic zone & decrease in no.of dividing cells cause
reduced length of the mandible .
Orthodontics, current principles and techniques by Graber & Vanarsdall -5th edition
40. Tissue reactions seen in retention and relapse
⢠Remodelling of the gingival connective tissue is not as rapid as the PDL, slower
turn over rate of gingival fibers are seen stretched and unremodeled as 232 days
after the experimental tooth rotation.
⢠To avoid relapse, a tooth should be retained until total rearrangement of the
structures involved has Occurred.
41. CONCLUSION
Tooth movement is a highly conserved physiological mechanism for
continuous adaptation of the dentition. Orthodontic tooth movement is a
biomechanical exploitation of the physiologic mechanisms for developing
and maintaining optimal occlusal function. The tooth continues to move
until it achieves equilibrium with natural and applied loads.

Editor's Notes
Tooth & their supporting tissues have a lifelong ability to adapt to functional demands & hence drift through the alveolar process. it is a slow process that occurs usually in mesial & occlusal direction.
Pa Tm ârefers to tooth displacement tat result when balance among factors tat maintain PTP is disturbed by PDL disease.
3) OTM wch is COMPLX process,whr 1 Cs (tooth) moves through another Cs (bone) by applicatio of OFr ,by creation of compression & tension in PDL whr B R in 1 surface & B D in another surface ,remodeling phase is intiated by conversion of ME into Biological sig .
which stated that OTM in the socket depends on R and D of bone, but it took >60 years to have the 1st HPic of this phenomenon, which was provided by Sandstedtâs exp studies of tooth movements in dogs , showing the site of PDL compression, including an osteoclastic & necrotic (hyalinized) areas.

Initial â starts from time of application of force till eliminatio of bone below hyalnized tissues ,& nxt the tooth movement which occurs after hyalinisation is called 2* period.
IP âMagnitude of force has no effect on this stage.
Light does not produce lag phase .
FR takes place after 2 days
Form of tissue degeneration characterized by formation of a clear, eosinophilic homogenous substances- Denotes a compressed and locally degenerated PDL. - Reversible process -It lasts for a period of 7 -14 days . Tooth will move again only after bone beneath hyalinised area undergoes resorption..
Reason for late tooth movement â differentiation & activation of osteoclast take more time ,& thickness of bone to b removed is more from underside
Hyalinized zone will b invaded by the cells of osteoclast adjacent to bone marrow spaces ,cells from PDL , initiate resorption from underside of bone adjacent to hyalinized PDL zone .
Osteoblast are derived from paravascular connective tissue cells ,closely related to blood vessels.
Organic acids such as citric acid ,lactic acid ,H ions are secreted by ruffeled border of osteoclast ,which increse the solubility of hydoxyappetite crystal leadind to decalcification & nxt degradation of matrix is brought by cathepsin B-1 ,Finally breakdon products are transpoted to EC fluid & blood vascular system.

Electric fields r generated when bone bent & later ions in the fluid surrounding living bone interact with it & produce currents of small voltage are called SP. Doubtful in ortho.
2) Force â bending of bone â becomes electricaly charged .concave â Negative polarity(deposition) ,convex + polarity(resorption)
Tooth movement occurs as a result of alterations in fluid dynamics in the periodontal ligament. Bien characterized three distinct but interacting fluid systems in the PDL: 1. Vascular system 2. Cellular system 3. Interstitial fluid system.
When a force of short duration is applied to a tooth, the fluid in the PDL space escapes through tiny vascular channels. When the force is removed, the fluid is replenished by diffusion from capillary walls.
Whenever a tooth is subjected to an orthodontic force, it results in areas of pressure and tension.
1)Decreased vascularity & overstrecthing of PDL & tissue truma occurs which induces chemical changes & inflammatory tyoe of response ,
2)ATP to c-AMP & opening of Ca ion channel & activate Ca.
3)Differentiaton of OsteoB & C which produce remodelling of bone & tooth begins to move
This is flow chart of sequence of OTM ,illustrating roles played by mineralised ,non mineralised tissues along with associated blood vessels & neural elements
1)Application of a single force to the crown of a tooth creates rotation around a point approx halfway down the root. Heavy pressure is felt at the root apex and at the crest of the alveolar bone, but pressure decreases to zero at the center of resistance. The loading diagram,i.e, consists of 2-triangles as shown.
2)Bodily movement of a tooth requires that the PDL space be loaded uniformly from alveolar crest to apex, creating a rectangular loading diagram. Twice as much force applied to the crown of the tooth would be required to produce the same pressure within the PDL for bodily movement as compared with tipping.
A torquing movement of a tooth involves tipping of the apex .During the initial movement of torque, the pressure area usually is located close to the middle region of the root. After resorption of bone areas corresponding to the middle 3rd , the apical surface of the root gradually begins to compress adjacent periodontal fibers, and a wider pressure area is established .. if more torque is incorporated in the archwire, the force will increase and may result in resorption and fenestration of the buccal bone plate
2) Formation of two pressure sides and two tension sides. B, Demarcation line between old and new bone layers; C, pressure side with root resorption. B, Arrangement of free gingival fibers after rotation.
1) Extrusive tension results in added bone at alveolar crest. B, New bone layers at the alveolar fundus.
2)No areas of compression ,, Relaxation of the free gingival fibers during intrusion (arrow). A, Bone spicules laid down according to the direction of the fiber tension; B, relaxed supraalveolar tissue.
Drugs tat affect PG Activity is NSAIDS & Corticosteroids (phospholipase activity ) , aspirin indomethacin inhibit cyclo-oxygenase pathway
Bisphosphonate inhibit osteoclast mediated bone resorption ,so remodelling slower during medication.
Acetaminophen recommended as it act on cental PG not on pheripheral PG
Fluoride increases bone mass and mineral density, and because of the actions, it has been used in the treatment of metabolic bone disease, osteoporosis
Most of the teeth exhibit some loss of root resorption after orthodontic treatment , max incisor is high compared to other
During tooth movement, clast cells attack cementum as well as bone, creating defects in surface of the roots. During the repair phase,these defects fill back in with cementum. Shortening of the root occurs when cavities coalesce at the apex, This is why, apex of the root experience resorption, roots become shorter but not thinner as a result of orthodontic tooth movement
A, category 1, slight blunting;
B, category 2, moderate resorption, up to 1/4 of root length;
C, category 3, severe resorption,greater than 1/4 of root length.
Modification of neuromuscular pattern was observed with the skeletal adaptation to the forward displacement of Mandible.
-Most relapse tendency is caused by the structures related to marginal third of the root whereas Little relapse tendency exists in the area adjacent to the middle and apical thirds.
Hyalinised zones are seen after tipping the teeth without retention.
