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 ...

Tooth movement in experimental malocclusion

Archives of Oral Biology, 1962
Abstract In five human subjects, the occlusal surface of the right lower first permanent molar was raised by means of a removable metal cap approximately 0.5 mm thick. In every case the cap was an anatomical replica of the occlusal surface of the chosen tooth and was worn continuously without discomfort for 23–41 days.

On force and tooth movement

American Journal of Orthodontics, 1970
A n earlier study of force and rate of orthodontic tooth movement provided enough data to challenge the clinical usefulness of the theories of optimal force and differential force.2 Unfortunately, certain artifacts (namely, tipping tooth movement) which confounded the optimal force theory were also present in our previous data.

Biomechanical Principles of Tooth Movement

Dental Clinics of North America, 1981
The major mechanical signals or stimuli in orthodontic therapy are the stress and the resultant strain or deformation in the periodontal supporting tissues. These signals are translated into biologic cellular activities by some yet unclear mechanisms. Direct action by the stresses and strains upon the cells as well as by secondary effects produced by ...

Prediction of orthodontic tooth movement

American Journal of Orthodontics, 1976
Orthodontics is rapidly advancing from the stage of fortuitous success to one of planned success. When appliance design is based on simple concepts of equilibrium, prediction of desirable and undesirable tooth movement becomes possible. The flow chart that has been presented allows the clinician to systematically treat dental discrepancies more ...
