Abstract

Objectives: Previous studies have demonstrated that aligners with labial-cervical pressure points can induce root movement, but with initial unwanted tipping. This study assessed the impact of palatal-incisal pressure points on improving root movement and reducing initial offset. Additionally, the influence of aligner materials on force and moment generation was evaluated.

Material and methods: The experimental setup consisted of an acrylic upper jaw model with teeth 11 and 21 separated and secured to a Hexapod using a 3D force-moment sensor, allowing for the simulation of various malpositions of the measurement teeth. In addition to labial pressure points set close to the cervical margins at a depth of 1.5 mm, we investigated palatal pressure points positioned close to the incisal edge at depths ranging from 0.1 to 0.9 mm. We evaluated the force/moment (F/M) systems generated by both mono- and multi-layered aligner materials during the simulated correction of 2° retroinclination of the measurement teeth. Five aligners were tested for each configuration. The relevant palatal torque range (palTR) was identified when the aligners simultaneously induced a negative palatal force (-Fy) and a negative palatal torque moment (-Mx).

Results: PET-G aligners without pressure points showed no effective torque range. In contrast, aligners with pressure points generated an effective torque range of an average of 1.02° ± 0.03° following initial tooth tipping. The palatal-incisal pressure points showed a significant reduction or elimination of the initial offset. Our findings revealed a general correlation between palTR-start displacement (initial offset range) and palatal pressure point depth (linear mixed-effects models, p < 0.05). In this manner, the initial offset for the 0.6 mm pressure points was reduced by 81.1% compared to that of the unmodified aligners (from 1.57° to 0.3°).

Conclusion: The addition of palatal-incisal pressure points alongside labial-cervical pressure points demonstrated a promising reduction in the initial offset range in an in vitro setting, potentially enhancing the efficiency of torque movement with aligners. However, further biomechanical and clinical studies are necessary for the clinical translation of these results.

不同预激活方式和矫直器材料对矫直器诱导上切牙腭根扭矩能力的影响:体外生物力学研究。
目的:先前的研究表明,具有唇-颈压力点的矫正器可以诱导牙根运动,但最初会产生不必要的倾斜。本研究评估了腭-切牙压力点对改善牙根运动和减少初始偏移的影响。此外,还评估了对准器材料对力和力矩产生的影响。材料和方法:实验装置由丙烯酸上颌模型组成,其中11和21牙分离,并使用3D力力矩传感器固定在六足架上,允许模拟各种测量牙的错位。除了将唇压点设置在靠近宫颈边缘1.5 mm的深度外,我们还研究了位于靠近切缘深度0.1至0.9 mm的腭压点。我们评估了单层和多层矫直器材料在模拟矫正测量牙2°后倾时产生的力/力矩(F/M)系统。每种配置测试了五个对准器。当矫直器同时诱导负腭力(-Fy)和负腭力矩(-Mx)时,确定相关的腭扭矩范围(palTR)。结果:没有压力点的PET-G矫直器没有有效的扭矩范围。相比之下,带压力点的矫直器在初始牙齿倾斜后产生的有效扭矩范围平均为1.02°±0.03°。腭切压力点显示出明显的减少或消除了初始偏移。我们的研究结果揭示了腭开始位移(初始偏移范围)和腭压力点深度之间的一般相关性(线性混合效应模型)。结论:在体外环境中,增加腭-切侧压力点和唇-颈侧压力点显示出有希望减少初始偏移范围,潜在地提高了矫直器扭矩运动的效率。然而,这些结果的临床转化需要进一步的生物力学和临床研究。

期刊介绍: Orthodontics & Craniofacial Research - Genes, Growth and Development is published to serve its readers as an international forum for the presentation and critical discussion of issues pertinent to the advancement of the specialty of orthodontics and the evidence-based knowledge of craniofacial growth and development. This forum is based on scientifically supported information, but also includes minority and conflicting opinions. The objective of the journal is to facilitate effective communication between the research community and practicing clinicians. Original papers of high scientific quality that report the findings of clinical trials, clinical epidemiology, and novel therapeutic or diagnostic approaches are appropriate submissions. Similarly, we welcome papers in genetics, developmental biology, syndromology, surgery, speech and hearing, and other biomedical disciplines related to clinical orthodontics and normal and abnormal craniofacial growth and development. In addition to original and basic research, the journal publishes concise reviews, case reports of substantial value, invited essays, letters, and announcements. The journal is published quarterly. The review of submitted papers will be coordinated by the editor and members of the editorial board. It is policy to review manuscripts within 3 to 4 weeks of receipt and to publish within 3 to 6 months of acceptance.
