Exam 2D Flashcards
Definition: elastic limit –> permanent deformation first observed?
proportional limit
Definition: point on the stress/strain diagram at which a deformation of 0.1% is measured?
yield point / yield strength
Definition: point at which the wire breaks?
failure point
3 major properties for force-deflection?
Strength
Stiffness
Range
Definition: maximum load the wire can sustain?
ultimate tensile strength
What kind of wire can control torque?
rectangular (round can do everything but this)
What occurs in stage 1 ortho?
level and align
What occurs in stage 2 ortho?
correction of molar relationship and space closure
What occurs in stage 3 ortho?
finishing: root paralleling, incisor torque, correction of overbite/overjet, correction of midline, finish occlusion
Where is the center of resistance in single-rooted teeth?
a constant: located 1/3 of the root length from the CEJ in single rooted teeth
Where is the center of resistance in multi-rooted teeth?
just apical to furcation
Definition: the point around which the tooth rotates?
center or rotation
Is the center or rotation constant?
no
Center of rotation is determined by what?
the type of movement occurring
Type of movement caused by Invisalign or spring retainers by single point of force near center of resistance?
uncontrolled tipping
