Q

physiological tooth movement

A

Tooth Eruption

  • Pre-eruptive tooth movement (small, random)
  • Intra-osseous eruption (after crown forms, slow, 1mm = 3/12-24/12)
  • Mucosal penetration (fast, 1mm = 2/52)
  • Pre-occlusal eruption (slow)
  • Post-occlusal eruption (very slow)

not continuous - changes speeds

Q

pre-functional eruptive phase

A

Starts as soon as the root start to form and ends when the teeth reach the occlusal plane

  • Reduced enamel epithelium fuses with oral mucosa
    • This breaks down and tooth erupts into oral cavity
  • Tooth moves occlusally

muscosal penetration

pre-occlusal eruption

Q

functional eruptive phase

A

Tooth movement/eruption continues as the root forms and throughout life in extremely small increments

  • Tooth reached occlusal plane – appears fully erupted
    • Further small movements
  • Tooth wear, over eruption due to loss occluding

post-occlusal eruption

orthopantomogram

A

Not a static view

  • Pre-eruptive movement in upper left (27)
    • Rocks in crypt
  • Intra-osseous phase lower left
    • When roots form
    • 1mm 3months-2 years
      • Slow
    • Resorbing bone and deciduous roots above it
  • Mucosal phase
    • Tooth breaches mucosa
      • Fast – 1-2mm a month
      • Wary – can worsen open bites
  • Once the tooth hits something hard, PDL established and post eruption slow
    • Continuing to erupt

Q

does tooth eruption involve

cell proliferation for root lengthing

A

not critical for tooth eruption

  • Remove apical area, tooth still erupts
    • dental follicle pulls tooth
  • Dilacerations occur if obstruction
    • Hit hard then dilaceration
      • Root still forms despite not erupting

25
cause and prevalance of ectopic canines
genetic 1-2% variation in difficulty to fix
26
best imaging technique for ectoptic canines
CBCT ## Footnote check position, damage/resorption (follicle can dissolve away bone and cementum)
27
treatment for this case
Ignore ectopic canines – obvious * One thing wrong with development likely to have other issues go through methodically * No additional teeth * Caries – BW follow up * Roots * Lower right E – distal root partly resorbed, mesial root large – take long time to resorb * 45 root is ½ - 2/3 formed – extract deciduous * Same lower left E now maxillary ecotopic canines * Palatally positioned – magnified (closer to midline) * Follicle larger – cystic change * No appearance of resorption of lateral – see full lamina dura * Remove Cs – come into correct position * Follicle pulls through bone
28
3 things to check on OPT in regards to ectopic canines
* height * closeness to midline * angle
29
assess ectopic canines on this OPT
High – above central apex Good angle – compare to mid sagittal line (vertical plane), under 30 degrees = good Midline - Doesn’t overlap adjacent incisor by more than half Favourable -\> interception will work, lining teeth up more successful
30
assess ectopic canines on this OPT
Still high Angle now poor very close to midline – fully covering lateral no cystic change * now need surgery and 2-3 years ortho tx
31
mesial drift of 6s more problematic in
mandible than maxilla ## Footnote 6 drift forward 5, 4, 3 still waiting to erupt – no space, reduced
32
what is happening in A, B, D, E, F (C ignore occlusal view)
Unusual tooth movement following interceptive extraction Lower right buccal segment * 46 * Submerging 85 * 45 – horizontal, no hope Place a space maintainer – band and loop * Within 6 months change position * 2 years of space maintenance – erupt into space Follicle pulling tooth through bone – not apical end
33
physiological basis for orthodontics
* if an external force is applied to a tooth, the tooth will move as the bone around it remodels * bony remodelling is mediated by the periodontal ligament * If a tooth has no PDL or is ankylosed, it will NOT move * Cause intrusion of adj teeth with healthy PDL
34
cementum Vs bone resoprtion
Cementum is much more resistant to resorption than bone (1mm thick) * although some degree of root resorption after orthodontics should be expected
35
orthodontic forces casue
osteoclasts (usually in lacunae) and osteoblasts appear
36
orthodontist role (2)
Manages the growth and development of the teeth, face and jaws Corrects irregularities in these structures using * Appliances to transmit force to PDL and bone * ‘osteoclast herder’ * Thousands of workers, 24 hour shifts, no pay, no superannuation, no complaints, no sickness… * Work not up to standard or any signs of slacking, macrophage will phagocytose!
37
3 theories for orthodontic tooth movement
* Differential pressure theory * Piezoelectric pressure theory * Mechno-chemical pressure theory
38
differential pressure theory
Pressure on tooth (e.g. here retrocline) Tension on one side of PDL Compression on other side of PDL Tension = bone deposition Compression = bone resorption
39
piezoelectric pressure theory (1)
Piezoelectric currents are generated when crystalline structures, such as bone, are deformed These currents have been suggested as a mechanisms by which tooth movement is modulated * Compression = + * Tension = - * May result in cells being recruited to sites (osteoclasts +, osteoblasts -) Forces so small – unlikely alone
40
mechano-chemical pressure theory
Mechanical stress on tooth and bone -\> Release of neuropeptides from nerve endings -\> Stimulate fibroblasts, endothelial cells and alveolar bone -\> Fibroblast also communicate with osteoblasts and osteoclasts -\> Alveolar bone and periodontal ligament remodelling -\> Tooth movement
41
3 types of orthodontic appliance
* removable (URA) * functionals * fixed
42
6 types of orthodontic tooth movement
* tipping * bodily movement * intrusion * extrusion * rotation * torque - root not crown
43
movement in URA
tipping centre of rotation moves up as tipped
44
common use for URA
flat anterior bite plane – best, most efficient way at reducing overbite in growing pt * Common URA and lower fixed – overbite reduced, and reduced the amount of time with fixed upper as start with URA
45
functional appliance changes (3)
* The mandible is postured away from its normal rest position * Skeletal Changes - growth backwards (red arrows) * The facial musculature is stretched which generates forces transmitted to the teeth and alveolus * Dental changes * Careful not to over procline lower anterior * Posterior open bite – close naturally * There may be an effect on facial growth * E.g. class II cases * Restrict maxillary growth * Promote mandibular growth * Remodel the glenoid fossa
46
skeletal changes in functional appliance
growth backwards (red arrows) mandible is postured away from its normal rest position
47
dental changes in functional appliance
* The mandible is postured away from its normal rest position * Skeletal Changes - growth backwards (red arrows) * The facial musculature is stretched which generates forces transmitted to the teeth and alveolus * Dental changes * Careful not to over procline lower anterior * Posterior open bite – close naturally
48
functional appliances potential affect on facial growth
E.g. class II cases * Restrict maxillary growth * Promote mandibular growth * Remodel the glenoid fossa
49
how can functional appliance be used here
*Significant jaw discrepancy – try and grow their jaw to save from surgery*
50
functional appliance use in overjet
* Large 11mm overjet* * 9months constant wearing functional appliance* * 18 months after start Tx – wearing at night*
51
mode of action of functionals (%)
* Skeletal change (30%), growth of mandible, restraint of maxilla * Dentoalveolar change (70%), retroclination of upper teeth, proclination of lower teeth * Mesial migration of the lower teeth * Distal migration of the upper teeth Combination of the above achieves class I
52
mechanism of bodily movement
Note that there is a coordinated bone modelling and remodelling response leading and trailing the moving tooth. * This mechanism allows a tooth to move relative to basilar bone while maintaining a normal functional relationship with its periodontium * Osteoclastic and osteoblastic activity are in red and blue, respectively* More deposition on the outside of alveolus too – distant from tooth * Secondary remodelling
53
5 types of tooth movement by fixed appliances specifically
* bodily movement * intrusion * extrusion * rotation * torque
54
wire for fixed appliances
must be active cannot be bendy - tooth slides along
55
intrusion
* Pressure on the supporting structures is evenly distributed and bone resorption is necessary, particularly at the apical area at the alveolar crest
56
extrusion
* Tension is induced in the supporting structures and bone deposition is necessary to maintain tooth support
57
rotation
* Need a force couple – 2 forces in opposing directions
58
torque
* Apical root torque * Hard to deliver – root moves most * root uprighting
59

65
histological changes during orthodontics light forces
Hyperaemia within the periodontal ligament on both pressure and tension side * Appearance of osteoclasts and osteoblasts Resorption of lamina dura from pressure side (osteoclasts) *frontal resorption* Apposition of osteoid on tension side (osteoblasts) *deposition* **Remodelling of socket – “frontal resorption”** Periodontal fibres reorganise Gingival fibres appear not to become reorganised but remain distorted
66
histological changes during orthodontics moderate force
Occlusion of vessels of periodontal ligament on pressure side Hyperaemia of vessels of periodontal ligament on tension side Cell free areas on pressure side (**hyalinisation**) * Period of stasis * not dead - but nothing happening Increased endosteal vascularity – “**undermining resorption**” **Relatively rapid movement of tooth with bone deposition on the tension side** – tooth may become slightly loose Healing of periodontal ligament – reorganisation and remodelling
67
histological changes during orthodontics excessive force
* Necrosis * Undermining resorption * Resorption of root surfaces * Pain * Permanent change Extensive lateral root resorption (RR) and undermining resorption (UR), just to the left of an area of PDL necrosis (N), is associated with the lag phase of tooth movement
68
4 factors affecting respose to orthodontic force
* magnitude * duration * age * anatomy
69
magnitude of orthodontic force impact
* Light forces – consistent movement* * Heavy forces – no change for while as undermining resorption and then sudden* * moderate and high forces – not wanted, bad histological movement process * Main problem of heavy force – anchorage teeth are moving but not desired tooth so excessive movement by them*
70
duration of orthodontic force impact on tooth movement
*Constant 24hrs of force to prevent teeth moving back into old position*
71
age impact on orthodontics
works at any age maybe slower in older ages
72
anatomy impact on orthodontic force
* no bone * wasting/cleft * e.g. alveolar encking - not possible to do ortho on as thin dence cortical plate bone * soft tissues * tongue * anterior open bite * mid-palatal suture
73
alveolar necking
* 7, 5, 4* * 6 extracted long time ago* * 5 drifted mesial as no 6* * Alveolar bone cortex plates together – knife edge* * *_Hard to move through as dense_*
74
root treated teeth impact on ortho
## Footnote *No pathology = no problem as ortho deals with PDL*
75
5 deleterious effects of orthodontic force
* Pain and mobility * Pulpal changes * Root resorption * Loss of alveolar bone support * relapse
76
ideal rate of tooth movement
1mm per month treatment time 24 months for fixed appliances
77
3 most likely tooth eruption theories combination of likely
* Remodelling of the alveolar bone * Role of dental follicle * Elongation of the root * Pressure against the root surface in the apical part of the root pushing it towards the oral cavity * Reorganisation of the periodontal membrane fibres * Role of the fibroblasts both with their contractile properties and their ability to quickly turn over collagen fibres
78
most common and accepted theory of orthodontic tooth movement
mechano-chemical theory
79
removable and functional appliance move teeth by
tipping forces Functional can also act on MOM set up forces that influences dentition and growth of jaws
80
fixed appliances move teeth by
all forces * tipping * bodily movement * intrusion * extrusion * rotation * torque (uprighting root on top of crown)
81
tipping Vs bodily movement
Bodily 2 sides * One deposition one resorption Tipping * Areas – not whole length
82
how long does it take for undermining resorption to be seen
7-14 days
83
4 factors on tooth movement and how they impact
* magnitude * light - most efficient, get frontal resorption * moderate - slower, get undermining resorption * heavy/excessive - necrosis, root resorption, pain, loss of vitality (rare), alveolar bone loss (rare) * duration * most efficient with (light) continuous force * age * maybe sligtly slower in adults * anatomy * volume of bone * effects of tongue * digit habits
