Q

_______ are responsible for bone resorption.

A

Q

What are the theories of tooth moment?

A
  1. The bioelectrical theory - bony changes caused by electric signals:
    - Force induces induces piezoelectical signals
    - Bioelectrical potential changes cell activity
  2. The pressure-tension theory = bony changes caused by chemical signals
    - pressure and tension alter blood flow.
    - formation and release of chemical messengers
    - Chemical messengers change cell activities.

Q

What happens after minutes of sustained light pressure?

A

Oxygen tension at compression side decreases -> Prostaglandins (PG-E) and cytokines (IL1) release)

Q

What happens after hours of sustained light pressure?

A

Chemical messengers cause metabolic change; second messengers (such as cAMP) release –> osteoclasts recruitment (from blood), maturation and activation –> frontal bone resorption (good)…

Q

What happens within minutes of heavy sustained pressure?

A

Blood flow is cut off to compressed PDL and after a few hours cell death occurs in compressed area.

16
Q

How is the movement of movement of teeth different over time with heavy vs. light force?

A

Light force = continued steady movement

Heavy force = Choppy, stop and go movement

17
Q

How many hours a day of sustained force is needed to activate cellular activity?

A

4-8 hrs/day *longer duration produces more efficient tooth movement

18
Q

The compression area larger during _____ that ______.

A

Translation than tipping *Greater force is needed to produce the same pressure.

19
Q

Is movement faster in the Maxilla or mandible?

A

Maxilla * Bone density

20
Q

What drugs inhibit tooth moment?

A

Prostaglandin inhabiters: NSAID, Corticosteroids

Bisphosphates

21
Q

What methods can accelerate tooth Movement?

A

Local injury: regional acceleratory phenomenon (RAP)

Corticotomy Assisted tooth movement (Wilckodontics)

22
Q

Is anchorage needed for reciprocal space closure?

A

No! because both teeth are moving to close a gap.

23
Q

What is stationary anchorage control?

A

Only allows bodily movement of the molars, which requires stronger pressure.

24
Q

What is skeletal anchorage?

A

Use temporary anchorage devices (TAD’s) to prevent unwanted movement.

25
Q

Can teeth with RCT be moved orthodontically?

A

Yes (Generally pupal reaction is minimal with movement)

26
Q

Where might permanent loss of root structure occur after movement?

A

Primarily at the apex

27
Q

What teeth are more prone to root reabsorption due to movement?

A

incisors and second premolars

28
Q

What are the risk factors for excessive resorption?

A

Abnormal root morphology: conical roots, pointed apices, diacerations

Prolonged treatment time, excessive and prolonged orthodontic forces

History of root resorption

29
Q

What are the effects of orthodontic treatment on Alveolar bone height?

A

Usually

30
Q

T or F, Active periodontal disease must be controlled before orthodontic treatment.

A

true
