MagnitudeLIGHT FORCE HEAVY FORCE

<1s fluid stays in, bone bends, piezoelectric current

1-2s fluid expressed, tooth moves in socket

3-5s blood vessels distorted, no pain

blood vessels occluded, pain from crushing pressure

minutes blood flow and oxygen levels altered, ↑PGE, ↑RANKL

blood flow cut off

hours ↑cAMP, cell differentiation sterile necrosis, hyalinizedPDL (no cells)

2 days frontal resorption= osteoclasts and osteoblasts

3-5 days undermining resorption begins

7-14 days undermining resorption ends, tooth moves

Frontal vs. Undermining

Stress-Strain Curve

Performance of Material Depends On…

1. Material properties2. Geometric factors

Wire Materials

• NiTi > TMA > SS• Springy à Stiffer• NiTi is much more flexible, much less formable• SS is much less flexible, much more formable

Wire Geometry

• Round à sliding only, Rectangular à torque• 2x diameter– 8x strength, 16x stiffness, half range

• 2x length– half strength, 8x springier, 4x more range

• Supporting beam– Loose x2 to strength– Tightly fixed x4 to strength

Rubber Bands

• Great elastic range• Fatigues quickly• Interrupted rather than continuous
