Mechanics An area of study within physical science that is concerned with the state of rest or motions of bodies subjected to forces.

Understanding of mechanics is based on particle mechanics formulated by Sir Isaac Newton

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Newtonian Mechanics Static – body at rest and under action of forces Dynamic – moving bodies  

Kinematics – study of motion itself Kinetics – relationship between the force systems and characteristics of body motion are explored

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Newton's Laws 1st law: particle subjected to balanced system of forces will remain at rest, if originally at rest, or move with constant speed in a straight line, if originally in motion.

2nd law: particle subjected to unbalanced system of forces will accelerate in the direction of the net force 3rd law: every action has an equal and opposite reaction. www.indiandentalacademy.com

Reduce empiricism or trail and error Relates concepts of stress distribution in the PDL to that of bone remodeling Increase efficiency and efficacy of the appliance.

On a sub clinical level:   

Control the centre of rotation of the tooth To maintain a desirable stress level in the pdl To maintain a relatively constant stress level

On a clinical level:   

The M:F ratio The load deflection rate The maximal forces or moment of any component of an appliance

Scalars and Vectors Scalars---- completely described by their magnitude alone.

Eg. Mass, distance , temperature.

Vectors---- described by magnitude and direction.

Eg. Force www.indiandentalacademy.com

Force Is defined as an act on a body that changes or tends to change the state of rest or motion of the body.

As per Newton's laws two bodies are always associated with a force i.e. one that exerts the force and the other that receives the force

Resultants form a single point

Resultant form two point of application www.indiandentalacademy.com

R2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab www.indiandentalacademy.com

p

q Tan theta = p/q R2 = p2 + q2 for mutually perpendicular forces R2 = p2 + q2 – 2pq (cos theta) for not perpendicular to Each other.

Forces in general can be   

Active and reactive (Newton) Concentrated or distributed External or internal

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Static equilibrium This states that for every appliance, not necessarily every tooth, the sum of moments and sum of forces be equal to zero, i.e. the net force should be zero, regardless of the type of appliance that is being used.

Intrusive force on the incisors is balanced by an extrusive force on the molars

Types of tooth movement

Pure translation

Pure rotation

Combination of both www.indiandentalacademy.com

When a tooth in the mouth move during orthodontic therapy there is no pure translation or pure rotation there is always a combination of the two.

(Hurd and Nikolai)

terminology Centre of Mass: is that point where all the mass of a body is concentrated when the body is in space.

Centre of Gravity: is the same point but when gravity is acting on the body.

Centre of Resistance: is that point, through which if a force is applied will move a object bodily, or produce a pure translation. www.indiandentalacademy.com

Centre of resistance in tooth Depends on the root length and Depends on the height of the alveolar bone.

In a tooth of paraboloid shape the centre of resistance lies at h/3 where h is the length of the root.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

C res. Of a Single rooted tooth---on the long axis between 1/3rd and ½ of the root apical to alveolar crest.

Multirooted tooth--- between the roots, 1 to 2 mm apical to the furcation. www.indiandentalacademy.com

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Effect of forces Translation: If the line of action of an applied force passes through the center of resistance of a tooth, the tooth will respond with pure bodily movement (translation) in the direction of the line of action of the applied force.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

www.indiandentalacademy.com

A moment of a force is the rotational tendency of the force The moment of a force is equal to the magnitude of the force multiplied by the perpendicular distance from its line of action to the center of resistance. m = f x d (gmm)

www.indiandentalacademy.com

(Note that there will be only a single net moment or net force on a tooth)

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Couple : ď Ž

Is a system consisting of two forces that are equal in magnitude, with parallel but non collinear lines of action and opposite senses.

M = 50x10 = 500gmm Net moment = 1000gmm

or

M = f x (distance between the two forces) M = 50 x 20 M = 1000gmm

www.indiandentalacademy.com

M =( f1d1) + ( f2d2)

M =( -50x10 ) + ( 50 x 30)

M = 1000gmm

www.indiandentalacademy.com

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Center of rotation a centre of rotation can be defined as that point about which a body appears to have rotated as shown by the initial and final positions of the tooth

www.indiandentalacademy.com

www.indiandentalacademy.com

www.indiandentalacademy.com

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Centre of rotation can also be defined as that point that has the least magnitude of moment (m = 0) or Can also be defined as the point that has moved the least during tooth movement

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Changing centre of rotations in A ( Nilkolai and Hurd) The centre of rotation for a combined translation and rotatory movement (Hocevar) www.indiandentalacademy.com

Forces within cross hatched areas will produce rotation as well as translation whereas the blank areas will produce simple tipping

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Forces in the shaded areas will produce translation And rotation at a rate that is continuously accelerating

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Changing the positions of the centers of rotation can bring about changes in the type of tooth movement but not the extent of tooth movement

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Equivalent systems

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Criteria for systems to be equivalent : 





(1) the sums of forces in the x direction are identical, (2) the sums of forces in the y direction are identical, (3) the sums of moments about any point are identical.

Smith and Burstone(1984)

What would the force system at the bracket in B be so that It would be equivalent to the system in A www.indiandentalacademy.com

www.indiandentalacademy.com

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Moment to Force ratio

The type of tooth movement would be determined by the ratio of the moment of the couple and the force applied at the bracket.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

What is the net moment here considering all forces to be 5 and distances to be 2 The type of movement occuring would depend on the location Of the center of rotation which is determined by the moment to force ratio (not their magnitudes) www.indiandentalacademy.com

Statically determinate systems (one couple system) ď Ž

This means that the magnitudes and the direction of the forces and moments exerted by the wire can be determined clinically once the appliance is inserted into the bracket

www.indiandentalacademy.com

One couple system-examples Cantilever springs used to bring severely displaced teeth into the arch Auxiliary intrusion or extrusion arches Begg intrusion arch

www.indiandentalacademy.com

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Statically indeterminate systems (two couple systems) ď Ž

ď Ž

The ,magnitude of the force systems produced cannot be determined clinically but the direction can be.

The force systems produced depend both on the wire geometry and the bracket angulations

Conclusion The laws of physics are fundamental, and though their application in the different hands may vary the knowledge of the fundamentals is a necessary prerequisite to achieve the desired tooth movement in the most effective and efficient manner.
