  • numerical simulation of optimal range of rotational moment for the Mandibular Lateral Incisor canine and first premolar based on biomechanical responses of periodontal ligaments a case study
    Clinical Oral Investigations, 2021
    Co-Authors: Yunfeng Liu, Dongcai Wang, Xingtao Dong, Qianli Sun, Gang Chen
    Abstract:

    The objective of this study was to investigate the optimal range of rotational moment for the Mandibular Lateral Incisor, canine and first premolar to determine tooth movements during orthodontic treatment using hydrostatic stress and logarithmic strain on the periodontal ligament (PDL) as indicators by numerical simulations. Teeth, PDL and alveolar bone numerical models were constructed as analytical objects based on computed tomography (CT) images. Teeth were assumed to be rigid bodies, and rotational moments ranging from 1.0 to 4.0 Nmm were exerted on the crowns. PDL was defined as a hyperelastic–viscoelastic material with a uniform thickness of 0.25 mm. The alveolar bone model was constructed using a non-uniform material with varied mechanical properties determined based on Hounsfield unit (HU) values calculated using CT images, and its bottom was fixed completely. The optimal range values of PDL compressive and tensile stress were set as 0.47–12.8 and 18.8–51.2 kPa, respectively, whereas that of PDL logarithmic strain was set as 0.15–0.3%. The rotational tendency of PDL was around the long axis of teeth when loaded. The optimal range values of rotational moment for the Mandibular Lateral Incisor, canine and first premolar were 2.2–2.3, 3.0–3.1 and 2.8–2.9 Nmm, respectively, referring to the biomechanical responses of loaded PDL. Primarily, the optimal range of rotational moment was quadratically dependent on the area of PDL internal surface (i.e. area of PDL internal surface was used to indicate PDL size), as described by the fitting formula. Biomechanical responses of PDL can be used to estimate the optimal range of rotational moment for teeth. These rotational moments were not consistent for all teeth, as demonstrated by numerical simulations. The quantitative relationship between the area of PDL internal surface and the optimal orthodontic moment can help orthodontists to determine a more reasonable moment and further optimise clinical treatment.

  • orthodontic treatment of transposition of permanent Mandibular Lateral Incisor and left canine in mixed dentition a case report
    Pediatric Dentistry, 2012
    Co-Authors: Fidan Alakus Sabuncuoglu, Seniz Karacay, Mustafa Erkan
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this study was to present the orthodontic treatment of a uniLateral transposition of a permanent Mandibular left canine and permanent Mandibular Lateral Incisor during middle transitional dentition in a 10-year-old female. A panoramic radiograph showed the apex of the permanent Mandibular left Lateral Incisor to be resting on the mesial corner of the permanent Mandibular left canine crown, which was ectopically erupted in the proximity of the primary Mandibular left second molar. A removable appliance was used to upright the permanent Mandibular left Lateral Incisor, after which a utility arch was used until full eruption of the permanent dentition. Treatment continued with a fixed appliance system that included all teeth until the transposition of the canine and Lateral Incisor was corrected and a class I occlusion with a favorable smile was obtained (at 36 months).
