Three-dimensional analysis of orthodontic tooth movement. 1990

Department of Civil Engineering, University of Wales, Swansea, UK.

A three-dimensional finite element model was used to investigate the biomechanical response of an upper canine tooth. The physical model was developed from ceramic replicas and X-rays, and consisted of cancellous and cortical bone, the periodontal ligament, dentine and pulp chamber. Horizontal forces were applied at the tip of the crown and at the cervical margin and a rotational force was applied at the cervical margin of the tooth crown. The resulting displacements and stress field for each load case are presented with particular emphasis being placed on the response of the periodontal ligament. The investigation shows that quantitative information on initial tooth movement can be accurately predicted and used to evaluate the response of orthodontic treatment.
