Study Notes
Tissue Changes in Orthodontics
- Orthodontic forces can initiate adverse tissue reactions in teeth, supporting structures, sutures, and the TMJ region.
- After orthodontic treatment, a rapid-to-slow relapse occurs during the period of remodeling of the periodontal structures.
Tooth Movement at the Cellular and Molecular Levels
- Orthodontic tooth movement beyond the constraints of the original tooth socket requires the conversion of mechanical forces into biological signals by mechanosensitive cells.
- Mechanotransduction of signals promotes intracellular communication and allows for the coordinated cellular response of alveolar bone modeling.
- Orthodontic forces are perceived by cells as changes in substrate strain, fluid flow shear induced stress, and/or oxygen tension.
- Osteoprogenitor cells, bone lining cells, and osteocytes sense orthodontic forces and initiate signaling pathways through mediators such as Wnt, BMP, TNFα, IL1β, CSF-1, VEGF, and PGE2.
Orthodontic Forces Stimulate Biological Responses
- Changes in the supporting tissues of teeth are necessary for tooth movement beyond the constraints of the original tooth socket upon application of an orthodontic force.
- Theories regarding the biological response to orthodontic forces resulting in tooth movement were initially proposed over a century ago.
- Carl Standstedt's studies in the early 1900s confirmed that bone deposition occurs in areas of tension and bone resorption occurs in areas of pressure following the application of orthodontic force.
- Lighter orthodontic compressive forces lead to rapid bone resorption along the alveolar wall, while heavier compressive orthodontic forces lead to tissue necrosis within the PDL space along the alveolar wall.
- Tooth movement in these hyalinized areas occurs only after bone resorption in underlying bone marrow spaces is sufficient to undermine the supporting alveolar bone.
