Location of the centers of resistance for anterior teeth during retraction using the laser reflection technique

The location of the centers of resistance for various symmetric units of the anterior maxillary dentition for a lingually directed force was studied in two dry human skulls. The units investigated were composed of (1) two incisors, (2) four incisors, and (3) six anterior teeth. In addition, the effe...

Zusammenfassung:The location of the centers of resistance for various symmetric units of the anterior maxillary dentition for a lingually directed force was studied in two dry human skulls. The units investigated were composed of (1) two incisors, (2) four incisors, and (3) six anterior teeth. In addition, the effect, of change in force magnitude on the location of the centers of resistance of these units was investigated. The laser reflection technique was used to study both the direction and magnitude of the initial displacement of the consolidated Teeth under loading. The results indicated that the center of resistance shifted apically with the incorporation of a greater number of teeth into an anterior segment. With a unit of six anterior teeth, the apical shift of the center of resistance was the greatest. Increasing force levels had little effect on the location of the center of resistance of a given unit. This phenomenon was observed in both the skulls tested, suggesting that general trends may exist in the displacement characteristics of the dentition when subject to controlled force systems.
