Tooth movement mechanobiology

Clinical Dentistry Reviewed, 2017
The current concept of “pressure-tension” tooth movement is based upon reductionist explanations of parsed physiological processes that do not provide a cohesive understanding of clinically relevant tooth movement. The biology underlying accelerated orthodontic techniques have refocused attention on disruptions of tensional integrity of ...

Endogenous tooth movement

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1960
The three types of endogenous tooth movement are (1) the continuous eruption of teeth, (2) migration due to inherent weakness of the attachment apparatus, and (3) the adaptive movements of the teeth. Adaptive tooth movement is controlled by: (1) the contact relationships between adjacent and opposing teeth, and (2) the interaction of the components of ...

Piezoelectric Tooth Aligner for Accelerated Orthodontic Tooth Movement

2018 40th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2018
In this paper, we propose a device that can induce vibration to potentially accelerate the rate of orthodontic tooth movement and thus reduce the duration of the orthodontic treatment. This is accomplished by harmonically exciting a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) piezoelectric actuators to generate vibration and hence generate cyclic loading at 30 Hz ...

Medication and orthodontic tooth movement

Journal of Orthodontics, 2019
As any pharmaceutical substance may influence the events associated with orthodontic tooth movement, it is of importance for the clinician to be able to recognize any prospective patient’s history and patterns of medicinal consumption. This review presents the effects of various commonly prescribed medications on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement.

Tooth movement into edentulous areas

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1971
Abstract Movement of teeth into edentulous spaces created by the loss of teeth within a dental arch was reported from three aspects: (1) movement of the tooth mesial to the space into the space, (2) movement of the tooth distal to the space into the space, and (3) movement of the tooth opposing the space into the space.

Leukotrienes in orthodontic tooth movement

American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 1989
Prostaglandins (PGs) and leukotrienes (LTs) are products of arachidonic acid conversion. PGs have an established role in mediating orthodontic tooth movement. The role of LTs in modulating or mediating orthodontic tooth movement was investigated in this study.

The fundamentals of tooth movement

International Orthodontics, 2010
Advances in the field of molecular phenomena have led to a fuller understanding of the mechanisms at work in tooth movement. The forces applied by orthodontic devices are converted into cellular signals via the deformation of the bony walls and the inflammatory reaction they trigger.

Osteoimmunology in orthodontic tooth movement

Oral Diseases, 2014
The skeletal and immune systems share a multitude of regulatory molecules, including cytokines, receptors, signaling molecules, and signaling transducers, thereby mutually influencing each other. In recent years, several novel insights have been attained that have enhanced our current understanding of the detailed mechanisms of osteoimmunology.

Minimal forces in tooth movement

American Journal of Orthodontics, 1967
Abstract 1. 1. The popularity and efficiency of light forces (that is, forces of small magnitude) in orthodontics suggest an analysis of the minimal forces produced by certain areas of the oral musculature and their influence on tooth position. 2. 2.

Proteoglycans and Orthodontic Tooth Movement

Journal of Orthodontics, 2001
Proteoglycans represent an important and diverse family of extracellular matrix components within the connective tissues of the periodontium. This review focuses on the function and metabolism of the various proteoglycans in periodontal tissues, such as alveolar bone and periodontal ligament, and considers their potential fate in response to an ...
