Three dimensional photoelastic study on the initial stress distributions of alveolar bone when retracted by lingual K-loop archwire

This study was designed to investigate the stress distribution of alveolar bone in case of on masse retraction with lingual K-loop archwire using the 3-dimensional photoelastic stress analysis followed by stress freezing process. Lingual K-loop archwire which had loop in 15mm height was used and activated by retraction force of 350gm per each side. The results were as follows 1. Central incisor : As the closer side to crown, the larger tensile stress was distributed at both mesial and labial surfaces and the larger compressive stress was distributed at distal surface. As the closer side to root apex, the larger compressive stress was distributed at lingual surface. The compressive stress was distributed at root apex. 2. Lateral incisor : The tensile stress was distributed at the coronal side of mesial surface. The compressive stress was distributed at distal surface. As the closer side to crown, the larger tensile stress was distributed at labial surface. The tensile stress was distributed at coronal side and the compressive stress was distributed at apical side of lingual surface. The compressive stress was distributed at root apex. 3. Canine The tensile stress was distributed at coronal side and the compressive stress was distributed at apical side of mesial surface. The tensile stress was distributed at distal surface. As the closer side to crown, the larger tensile stress was distributed at both mesial and distal surfaces. The compressive stress was distributed at root apex. 4. Second premolar : The tensile stress was distributed at mesial surface. The compressive stress was distributed at coronal side and the tensile stress was distributed at apical side of distal surface. The compressive stress was distributed at coronal side of buccal surface. As the closer side to crown, the larger tensile stress was distributed at lingual surface. The compressive stress was distributed at root apex. 5. First molar . As the closer side to crown, the larger tensile stress was distributed at both mesial and distal surfaces. No stress was distributed at buccal surface and palatal root apex. As the closer side to crown, the larger tensile stress was distributed at both lingual surfaces. The compressive stress was distributed a4 buccal root apexes. 6. Second molar The compressive stress was distributed at all root apexes. As the closer side to crown, the larger compressive stress was distributed at both mesial and lingual surfaces, and the larger tensile stress at both distal and buccal surfaces. Transverse bowing effect was observed in on-masse retraction with lingual K-loop archwire, however vertical towing effect was not. Rather, reverse vortical bowing effect was developed.

Lingual K-loop archwire를 이용한 발치공간 폐쇄시 초기응력 분포에 대한 3차원 광탄성학적 연구

제1소구치 발치를 동반한 설측교정치료시 lingual K-loop archwire로 전치부 후방견인을 시 행한 경우 전치부 및 구치부에서 치조골에 발생하는 초기응력을 알아보기 위하여, K-loop의 vortical leg 길이는 15mm로 하고 편측당 350gm의 힘으로 활성화시 킨 후 상악궁 광탄성 모형의 응력동결을 시행하고 각 치아별로 절단하여 3차원 광탄성법으로 분석한 바 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 중절치의 근심면은 치관측일수록 더 큰 인장응력을 보였으며 원심면은 치관측일수록 더 큰 압축응력을 보였다. 순면에서는 치관측일수록 더 큰 인장응력을 보였으며 설면에서는 치근측일수록 더 큰 압축응력을 보였다 치근첨에서는 압축응력이 나타났다. 2. 측절치의 근심면에서는 치관측만 인장응력이 관찰되었고 원심면에서는 고른 압축응력을 보였다. 순면에서는 치관측일수록 더 큰 인장응력이 관찰되었고 설면에서는 치관측에서는 인장응력을, 치근측에서는 압축응력을 보였다. 치근첨에서는 압축응력이 관찰되었다. 3. 견치의 근심면은 치관측에서는 인장응력을, 치근측에서는 압축응력을 보였고 원심면은 인장응력을 보였다. 순면과 설면은 치관측일수록 큰 인장응력을 보였다. 순면보다 설면에서 더 큰 인장응력을 보였다. 치근첨에서는 압축응력이 관찰되었다. 4. 제2소구치는 근심면은 인장응력을 보이며 원심면은 치관측에서는 압축응력을, 치근측에서는 인장응력을 보였다. 협면은 치관측에서 압축응력을 보였으며, 설면은 치관측일수록 더 큰 인장응력이 관찰되었다. 치근첨에서는 인장응력을 보였다. 5. 제1대구치는 근원심면 모두에서 치관측일수록 더 큰 인장응력을 보였다. 협면에서는 응력이 나타나지 않았고, 설면은 치관측일수록 더 큰 인장응력이 관찰되었다. 협측치근들의 치근첨에서는 압축응력을, 구개측치근의 치근첨에서는 무응력을 보였다. 6. 제2대구치는 모든 치근의 치근첨에서 압축응력이 관찰되었다. 근심면은 치관측일수록 더 큰 압축응력을, 원심면은 치관측일수록 더 큰 인장응력을 보였다 협면은 치관측일수록 더 큰 인장응력을, 설면은 치관측일수록 더 큰 압축응력을 나타내었다. 따라서 전치부 후방견인시 transverse bowing effect는 뚜렷이 나타났으나, vertical bowing effect는 나타나지 않고 오히려 전치부가 함입되려는 응력이 발생하였다.
