Types of tooth movement in orthodontics (4th BDS)
There are three main types of orthodontic tooth movement: translation (bodily movement), pure rotation, and combined rotation and translation (tipping movement). Different levels of optimal force are required depending on the type of movement. Tipping requires 35-60g of force since only half the periodontal ligament area is compressed. Translation requires 70-120g since the entire area is compressed. Intrusion requires only 10-20g to avoid damage from heavy forces concentrating at the root apex. Root uprighting and torqueing also use force couples that compress within the crown, requiring 50-100g.

root planing.pptx
Root planing is a procedure to remove calculus and damaged cementum from tooth roots to create a smooth surface. It can be done with or without displacing the gums. Instruments include hand scalers, ultrasonic scalers, and rotary instruments. Root planing has advantages like less trauma but closed techniques miss some areas. Curettes are the best instrument for deep pockets as they can access complex root areas with minimal trauma. There are universal and Gracey area-specific curettes that are angled for specific tooth regions. The root planing stroke is a light scraping motion used for final smoothing of the root.

Universal Curets
- 2. Objectives: After the skills demonstration the audience will be able to: Identify the parts of a universal curet. Identify the functions of a universal curet. Identify the design characteristics of a universal curet. Demonstrate the correct adaptation of a universal curet on the mandibular (lower) right posterior (back) teeth and the maxillary (upper) anterior (front)teeth.
- 3. Parts of a universal curet:
- 4. Functions of Universal Curets: A universal curet is a periodontal instrument used to remove small and medium size calculus deposits. A universal curet usually is a double-ended instrument with paired, mirror-image working ends. Universal curets are one of the most frequently used and versatile of all the calculus removal instruments. This type of curet is called “universal” because it can be applied to both anterior and posterior teeth.
- 5. Design Characteristics: The working end of a universal curet has several unique design characteristics: A rounded back A rounded toe A semi-circular cross section Two cutting edges per working end The face is at a 90 degree angle to the lower shank
- 6. Explanation of the Characteristics:
- 9. The Fulcrum:
- 10. Technique Practice on Posterior Teeth There are two methods for recognizing the correct working-end of a universal curet. Method 1 -Using the lower shank (Fig. 15-7 and Fig. 15-8) Method 2- Using the inner and outer cutting edges (Fig. 15.9)
- 22. Technique Practice- Anterior Teeth: Adapting a universal curet to the anterior teeth requires a technique that is different from any other instruments.
