This document provides an overview of biomechanics concepts in orthodontics. It defines biomechanics as the application of mechanics to tooth movement. Key concepts discussed include:
- Forces have magnitude, direction, and point and line of application. Force systems generate tooth movements.
- The centre of resistance is the point where a force causes translation without rotation and varies depending on root length and bone support.
- The centre of rotation depends on the applied force system and can vary from the centre of resistance to infinity.
- Different force magnitudes and moments relative to the centre of resistance (M:F ratios) result in different types of tooth movement, such as tipping, translation, and root movement. Couples

a Topic from Chapter 9 of Proffitt's Orthodontics Edition 6, including the Mechanical Principles in Orthodontics.
In this Slide terminology of Biomechanics in Orthodontics is defined along with effects of wide & narrow bracket, with brief description of Moment & Couple used in Orthodontic Tooth Movement.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

3. INTRODUCTION
Mechanics:
Is the branch of physics concerned with the behaviour of physical
bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the
subsequent effect of the bodies on their environment.
Biomechanics:
Biomechanics is the study of mechanics as it affects the biologic
systems.
It is the application of mechanics to the biology of tooth movement.
3
4. BASIC CONCEPTS
Isaac Newton's (1642-1727) three laws of motion, which analyse
the relations between the effective forces on objects and their
movements, are all applicable to clinical orthodontics.
LAW OF INERTIA
LAW OF ACCELERATION
LAW OF ACTION AND REACTION
4
5. Force
It is the effect that causes an object in space to change its
place or shape.
It is vector having characteristics of the line of action,
direction, magnitude and point of application.
For orthodontics – duration and distribution of force is also
important
5
7. Force generating components- active elements
Arch wires
Springs
Screws
Elastics
Elastomeric chains
Tension, compression, bending, or torsion in the active
members
Components try to regain the original forms
Generate forces

8. Centre of mass
Is a point in a body where its entire mass can be considered to be
concentrated in a gravity free environment.
For homogeneous bodies with a regular geometrical shape, the CM
is located at their geometric center (i.e. the center of a sphere).
It is the point where if force is applied the body moves linearly
without any rotation.
8
10. Centre of resistance
The point where the line of action of the resultant force vector
intersects the long axis of the tooth, causing translation of the
tooth, is defined as the centre of resistance.
For single rooted teeth:
Proffit and Nikolai: 50% of root length
Smith and Burstone at 33%- 50% of root length
Nanda: 24% - 35% of distance from alveolar crest
10
11. In case of a partially restrained object
such as our teeth that is partially
embedded in the alveolar bone, center of
gravity drifts apically becoming the
center of resistance.
The CRes is determined by the mass,
shape and form of the tooth, as well as by
the characteristics of the constraining
elements (bone, PDL).
11
13. Center of resistance of a tooth varies depending upon:
Root length
Number of roots
Alveolar bone support
14
14. Centre of rotation
Point around which body rotates
Location depends upon the force system applied M:F ratio
If couple is applied: Crot coincides with Cres
Translation: Crot is at ∞ i.e. no rotation
15
15. It is not a fixed point , and can be changed depending upon the point
of force application.
It can be at the centre of resistance, apical to the centre of resistance,
at the root apex, or at infinity.
16
17. How to determine….?
Take any two points on the tooth and
connect the before and after positions of
each point with a line. The intersection
of the perpendicular bisectors of these
lines is the center of rotation
18
18. Couple
A couple is a system having two parallel forces of equal
magnitude acting in opposite directions.
No matter where the couple is applied, the object rotates
about its centre of resistance—that is, the centre of resistance
and the centre of rotation superimpose
19
19. Moment
Moment is the tendency for a force to produce rotation or tipping of a tooth.
The potential for rotation
M = F x d
Unit = gram x millimeters
Can be positive(clockwise) or
negative (anti clockwise)
Extending the line of action around
the Cres will give the
direction of the moment

The moment of a couple is equal to the magnitude of
one of the forces multiplied by the perpendicular
distance between them.
Moment of a couple
M = f1 or f2 x d

27. Moment
Moment of force
Crot shifts in the direction of
movement.
The moment produced
depends on the distance of
application of force from Cres.
It can be counteracted by
moment of force or moment of
couple
Moment of couple
There is no shift in the
position of Cres
Crot=Cres.
The moment produced does
not depend on the distance
of application of force from
Cres
It can only be counteracted
by moment of couple

Easiest type of tooth movement
Single force is applied to a bracket on a round wire
Tooth tips around centre of rotation close to Cres.
32
32. UNCONTROLLED TIPPING
Crown and apex move in opposite
direction
Clinically undesirable
M:F= 0:1 to 5:1
Round wire
CONTROLLED TIPPING
With light counter clockwise moment
with a rectangular wire, while single
distalizing force is still applied.
Crown tips, root stays in place
M:F= 6:1 to 9:1
33
36. In this type of movement the stress at the root apex is
minimal which helps in maintaining the integrity of root
apex and the concentration of stresses at cervical area
allows timely tooth movement
37
37. Root movement
Changing a tooth’s axial inclination by moving the root apex while
holding the crown stationary is termed root movement
Root movement requires further increasing the magnitude of applied
counter moment
38
38. M:F of 12:1 or greater result in root movement.
Root movement in orthodontic treatment is often described as
torque. Placing twists in rectangular wire or the angle of the bracket
slot with the long axis of tooth is often called torque
39
40. When the counter clockwise moment (M2; torque) is
increased to equal the moment of force (M1),
the moments neutralize each other,
no rotation in the system.
the centre of rotation no longer exists (it is infinite)
Tooth undergoes translation, or bodily movement .

43. Rotation
Rotation of a body is the
movement of any straight line
on that body by a change in
the angle with respect to a
fixed reference frame. If the
body rotates about its centre
of resistance, it is called pure
rotation.

44. Pure rotation requires a couple. Since no net force acts at the
centre of resistance only rotation occurs.

45. PART TRANSLATION AND PART
ROTATION
When a force acts away from Cres, it causes part translation
and part rotation.
Mulligan explained it using the billiards cue ball analogy.
46
47. Example: when a retractive force acts at the bracket of upper
central incisor
Eccentric force application
Tooth retracts (translates) + rotates (crown lingual and root
labial)
48
48. Example: application of medial force on lingual aspect of
molar tooth from lingual sheath
Force passes through the Cres in an occlusal perspective
causes translation
But change its inclination i.e. will cause rotation

Resistance
[Other definition: CRes of a tooth is a point in the tooth on which the application of a single force will produce bodily movement of the tooth. ]
The Cres moves 1.3mm to the apical with a root length increase of 50% and the Cres moves 4mm to the apical with an alveolar bone height decrease of 50%.
In case of tooth, since it is embedded in the alveolar bone, we cannot apply force directly on Cres, but can apply force on the exposed part of the tooth, which is at a distance from Cres. Therefore with a single force we invariably create a moment called as moment of force.
When the tooth is embedded within the alveolar bone we cannot apply a couple with one force on the crown and the other force on the root.
We can apply a couple only on the exposed part of the tooth.
Irrespective of point of application of a couple on a body or a tooth, the body will experience a moment & it will rotate around it’s center of resistance.
Depending on the plane in which the couple is acting, this rotation has been called “rotation” (first order), “tipping” (second order), or “torque” (third order) in orthodontics.
