Biology of tooth movement (2)

INTRODUCTION
 Orthodontic treatment is based on the
principle that if prolonged pressure is applied
to a tooth, tooth movement will occur as the
bone around the tooth remodels. Bone is
selectively removed in some areas and added
in others.

“When an orthodontic force is applied, Tooth
moves thro the bone carrying its attachment
apparatus (Periodontal ligament) with it , as
the socket of the Tooth migrates.”So before
going in detail about the Tooth movement, it
will be appropriate to know the Basis about
periodontal ligament (Attachment apparatus)
and the alveolar Bone.

PERIODONTAL LIGAMENT
 1. PDL is a connective tissue organ, which
attaches cementum of the Tooth to the
alveolar bone.
 2. Normally it occupies a space approximately
0.5mm in width around all parts of the root .

 Cementicles
 Lymphatics

FUNCTIONS OF PDL
 SUPPORTIVE
 SENSORY: by nerve supply
 Free nerve endings – pain sensation
 Myelinated fibers – proprioception
 NUTRITION:
 HOMEOSTATIC

Alveolar bone
 Bone consists of about 65% inorganic and 35%
organic material .The inorganic material consists
of calcium and inorganic orthophosphate in the
form of hydroxyapatite crystals while the organic
material is type I collagen which lies in the
ground substance of glycoprotein and
proteoglycans.

Composition
 INORGANIC =65%
 ORGANIC = 35%
 COLLAGEN= 88-89%
 NONCOLLAGEN = 11-12%
 GLYCOPROTEINS= 6.5%-10%
 PROTEOGLYCANS = 0.8%
 SIALOPROTEINS = 0.35%
 LIPIDS= 0.4%

Structure of alveolar
process
 As a result of adaptation to its function , two
pats of alveolar process can be distinguished

Cortical plate Spongy bone

PHYISOLOGICAL CHANGES IN
ALVEOLAR BONE
 The internal structure of Bone is adapted to
mechanical stresses. It changes continuously
during growth and alteration of functional
stresses. These changes are correlated to the
Growth, eruption, movements, and loss of
teeth.


 Al l these processes are made possible only
by a coordination of Destructive and
formative activities.
The cells responsible for these all
 (1) Osteoblasts – formation / Deposition
 (2) Osteoclasts – Destruction –Resorption

Structure Of Osteoblast
 Ovoid cells, Basophilic cytoplasm and oval
nucleus
 Function: secretes organic matrix (osteoid) in
the Tension side, which is then calcified
resulting in the Formation of Bone Lamella.

Precursors of osteoblasts are
(1) Fibroblasts in PDL
(2) Perivascular stem cells

Structure of Osteoclasts
 Multinucleated giant cells have 12 / more
nucleus Irregularly oval / club shaped with
branching process
 _ Occur in Bay like depressions in Bone
called“ Howship's lacunae”
 _ The part of the osteoclasts in contact with
the resorbing bone has a ‘Ruffled Border’.
 Osteoclasts (Bone Resorbing cells) are more
in number in the compression side of PDL

How the orthodontic tooth movement differs
from physiological dental drift or tooth
eruption
 The former is uniquely characterized by the
abrupt creation of compression and tension
regions in the PDL.
Physiological tooth movement is a slow
process that occurs mainly in the buccal
direction into Cancellous bone or because of
growth into cortical bone.

THEORIES OF TOOTH MOVEMENT
 Numerous theories have been put forward to
explain the mechanism of tooth movement ,
when orthodontic force is applied.
 The theories that are accepted and have
stood the test of time are
 1. Pressure tension theory
 2.Bone bending piezoelectric theory
 3.Blood flow theory

Pressure tension theory
 Author - Schwarz 1932
whenever a tooth is subjected to an orthodontic
force, it results in areas of pressure and
tension
 The area of periodontium in the direction of
tooth movement is under pressure show
“Bone Resorption"
 The area of periodontium opposite the tooth
movement is under Tension show “Bone
Deposition" www.indiandentalacademy.com

 schwarz concluded that the forces delivered
as part of orthodontic treatment should not
exceed the capillary bed blood pressure (20-
25 g/cm2 of root surface).
 If one exceeds this pressure, compression
Could cause tissue necrosis through“suffocation
of the strangulated periodontium.”

 Baumrind reconsidering the propriety of the
pressure-tension hypothesis, pointed out a
conceptual flaw in it. He considered the PDL
to be a continuous hydrostatic system and
suggested that any force delivered to it would
be transmitted equally to all regions.
 He drew support for this concept from
Pascal’s law, a basic law in physics.

 Current concepts by Massella and
meisler(AJO APRIL 2006)
 They are divided into:
 1.Molecular genetics of osteoblast
differentiation and function
 2.neurotransmitters
 3.osteoclasts differentiation and function
 4.hormonal control of bone formation and
resorption
 5.intracellular and extracellular environment
 6.signal input and genetic output

Fluid dynamic theory
 (Bien 1966- Arch oral Biology)
 According to this theory
 Tooth movement occurs as a result of
alternations in fluid dynamic in the PDL.

margins known as squeeze film effect

PHASES OF ORTHODONTIC TOOTH
MOVEMENT
Tooth movement progress thro
three stages:
1. Initial Strain
2. Lag Phase
3.Progressive Tooth Movement / Post Lag

MELSEN’S HYPOTHESIS
 Acc to this hypothesis the indirect bone
resorption at the pressure side is not a
reaction to force but an attempt to remove
ischemic bone lying adjacent to the
hyalinized tissue.

Signaling molecules involved
in load induced tissue
remodeling
 The PDL is abundantly supplied with 2 kinds
of nerve terminals:
 Ruffini-like endings and nociceptive endings.
 Both endings can change their structures in
response to external stimuli, such as
orthodontic force

Pain and tooth movement
Tooth movement-associated tissue
remodeling, an inflammatory process, might
induce painful sensations, particularly after
activation of the orthodontic appliance.

orthodontic bone remodeling are:-

 2. Interieukin - 1 beta(lL - 1 beta)
 3.Tumor Necrosis Factor – alpha(TNF –alpha) or

Bone remodeling and tooth
movement
 MUNDY AND ROODMAN HYPOTHESIS: This
is the most widely accepted hypothesis.
According to this hypothesis, osteoclasts are
derived from stem cells in haemopoietic
organs, and granulocyte macrophage colony
forming units are the earliest identifiable
precursors of osteoclasts

 Colony stimulating factors
 others

Gingival effects of
orthodontic force
 Accordingly, 2 disparate processes occur in
the gingiva after transduction of orthodontic
force. First, there is an injury of the gingival
connective tissue, manifested by torn and
ripped collagen fibers.
second, the genes for both collagen and elastin
are activated, whereas those for tissue
collagenases are inhibited.
