Abstract
Objective
Aim of this study was to investigate the forces and moments during segmented intrusion of a mandibular canine using Cantilever-Intrusion-Springs (CIS).
Methods
Three different CIS modifications were investigated using a robotic biomechanical simulation system: unmodified CIS (#1, control), CIS with a lingual directed 6° toe-in bend (#2), and CIS with an additional 20° twist bend (#3). Tooth movement was simulated by the apparative robotic stand, controlled by a force-control algorithm, recording the acting forces and moments with a force-torque sensor. Statistical analysis was performed using Shapiro-Wilk, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA and post hoc tests with Bonferroni correction (α = 0.05).
Results
The initial intrusive force, which was uniformly generated by a 35° Tip-Back bend, decreased significantly (p < 0.05) from 0.31 N in group (#1) to 0.28 N in group (#3). Vestibular crown tipping reduced significantly (p < 0.05) from 2.11° in group (#1) and 1.72° in group (#2) to 0.05° in group (#3). Matching to that the direction of orovestibular force significantly (p < 0.05) shifted from 0.15 N to vestibular in group (#1) to 0.51 N to oral in group (#3) and the orovestibular tipping moment decreased also significantly (p < 0.05) from 4.63 Nmm to vestibular in group (#1) to 3.56 Nmm in group (#2) and reversed to 1.20 Nmm to oral in group (#3). Apart from that the orovestibular displacement changed significantly (p < 0.05) from 0.66 mm in buccal direction in group (#1) to 0.29 mm orally in group (#2) and 1.49 mm in oral direction as well in group (#3).
Significance
None of the modifications studied achieved pure mandibular canine intrusion without collateral effects. The significant lingual displacement caused by modification (#3) is, not least from an aesthetic perspective, considered much more severe than a slight tipping of the canine. Consequently, modification (#2) can be recommended for clinical application based on the biomechanical findings.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials is concerned with the mechanical deformation, damage and failure under applied forces, of biological material (at the tissue, cellular and molecular levels) and of biomaterials, i.e. those materials which are designed to mimic or replace biological materials.
The primary focus of the journal is the synthesis of materials science, biology, and medical and dental science. Reports of fundamental scientific investigations are welcome, as are articles concerned with the practical application of materials in medical devices. Both experimental and theoretical work is of interest; theoretical papers will normally include comparison of predictions with experimental data, though we recognize that this may not always be appropriate. The journal also publishes technical notes concerned with emerging experimental or theoretical techniques, letters to the editor and, by invitation, review articles and papers describing existing techniques for the benefit of an interdisciplinary readership.
