What do you expect to see after 3-5secs of sustained light pressure on a tooth?

a.) Blood vessels withing the PDL are compressed on the pressure side of the tooth and dilated on the tension side of the tooth, so there is mechanical distortion of the cells and PDL fibers.

b.) Metabolic changes occur and there is a change in enzyme levels.

c.) Tooth movement begins with remodeling of the bony socket by osteoclasts and osteoblasts.

d.) Blood vessels within the PDL are occluded on the pressure side.

Answer is A.

The application of light pressure to a tooth can result in frontal resorption. The application of heavy pressure to a tooth can result in undermining resorption.

*a. Both statements are true.
b. Both statements are false.
c. The first statement is true, and the second statement is false.
d. The first statement is false, and the second statement is true.

All of the following statements concerning orthodontic force are true except one. Which is the exception?
a. Optimum force for orthostatic purposes is the lightest force that produces a maximum or near-maximum reponse
b. the magnitude of the optimum force vary depending on the way it is distributed in the PDL
c. Optimum force will produce both pressure and tension on the PDL
*d. increasing orthodontic force will always increase tooth movement

Statement 1: Both force and moments are required to perform translation on a tooth.
Statement 2: Approxiamately twice amount of force is required to translate a tooth as compared to tipping a tooth.

A Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false.
B Statement 1 is false but statement 2 is true.
C Both statements are true***

Which of the following statements is true regarding “Undermining Resorption”?

A) It occurs when a heavy force is applied to the tooth within 4-6 hours.
B) After a heavy force is applied, osteoclasts within the PDL space differentiate and cause undermining resorption by attacking the underside of lamina dura.
C) It results from increased blood flow to the PDL space as a result of heavy force and inflammation at the site.
D) It occurs within several days after applying a heavy force, when osteoclasts within the adjacent marrow spaces attack the underside of lamina dura.
E) It is not related to the magnitude of force applied to the tooth.

Answer: D

The orthodontist should do the following to relieve pain when a patient has braces EXCEPT:
a)Tell the patient to bite on something hard to promote blood flow to the area of pain
b)Use light forces for tooth movement because this causes less compression and necrosis to the teeth
c)Tell the patient to use Tylenol as an analgesic
d)Tell the patient that NSAID should be used as an analgesic, and are beneficial because they promote tooth movement***

During intrusion, all of the force is concentrated at the apex of the tooth, yet this requires a lesser amount of force relative to other tooth movements because the force is applied to a smaller surface area.

a.) True*
b.) False

b)blood flow cut off to PDL area
c) cell death in compressed area
d) cell differentiation in adjacent narrow spaces
e) underming resorption removes lamina dura adjacent to compressed PDL ***

Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the relationship of tooth movement to force:
A. Tooth movement has a very high threshold
B. Tooth movement increases as pressure increases up to a point, and then remains at the same level over a short
range at the optimal force level.
C. Tooth movement increases as pressure increases up to a point, remains at the same level over a long range and
then it may decrease under heavy pressure *
D. Amount of tooth movement increases as pressure increases infinitely
