BIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF
ANCHORAGE :
Factors affecting anchorage:

Number of roots
Shape, size and length of each root
multirooted > single rooted
longer rooted > shorter rooted
triangular shaped root > conical or ovoid root
larger surface area > smaller surface area

ANCHORAGE :

Cortical anchorage:
Cortical bone vs. medullary bone
Muscular forces:
Horizontal growers vs. vertical growers

ANCHORAGE :

Relation of contiguous teeth
Forces of occlusion
Age of the patient
Individual tissue response

ANCHORAGE :
Pressure in the PDL= Force applied to a tooth
Area of distribution in PDL

Tooth movement increases as pressure increases
upto a point, remains at same level over a broad
range and then may gradually decline with
extremely heavy pressure.

Anchorage control : Concentration of desired
force and dissipation of reactionary force
ANCHORAGE :
PRESSURE RESPONSE CURVE :

ANCHORAGE :
Anchorage situations :
Reciprocal tooth movement :
Equal force distribution over the PDL
eg. Midline diastema,
First premolar extraction site
Anchorage value depends on the root
surface area
ANCHORAGE :
Reinforced anchorage:
Distribution of force over a larger surface
area
Light forces vs. heavy forces
eg. Addition of extra teeth,
Extra oral anchorage
ANCHORAGE :
Stationary anchorage:
Bodily movement of anchor teeth vs.
tipping of teeth to be moved

ANCHORAGE :
Differential effect of very large forces:
More movement of arch segment with the
larger PDL area.
Questionable response.

MECHANICAL ASPECTS OF
ANCHORAGE :
Tooth movement is brought about after
overcoming the frictional resistance during
sliding of wire in the bracket.
Frictional force is proportional to the force
with which the contacting surfaces are
pressed together
Affected by the nature of the surface
Independent of the area of contact
ANCHORAGE :
Asperities :
Peaks of surface irregularities.

ANCHORAGE :
Local pressure at asperities causes plastic
deformation
At low sliding speeds, stick slip
phenomenon occurs
Anchor teeth feel reaction to both friction
and tooth moving forces
ANCHORAGE LOSS:
Anchor loss in all 3 planes of space :
Sagittal plane:
- Mesial movement of molars,
- Proclination of anteriors

ANCHORAGE LOSS:
Vertical plane:
- Extrusion of molars,

INVERSE ANCHORAGE TECHNIQUE:

Jose Carriere- 1991
Mandible is a preferred point of reference for diagnosis
and treatment planning, while maxilla is better suited to
adapting orthodontic correction
- maxilla is anatomically a more stable reference than
mandible
- functionally mandible is the center of convergence of
force vectors, while maxilla is less influenced by forces

and mandible ; maxilla has more plasticity
of response
Treatment starts from the distal segments

Series of animal experiments
Bodily applied force will slow the rate of tooth
movement through a bone compared with a

Optimal force concept by Storey:
There is an optimum range of force which
produces maximum amount of tooth movement
through bone, and with forces above or below
this range there is reduced tooth movement.

APPLIANCES:
Jasper jumper:
Expansion of molar area

IMPLANTS :
Boucher: Implants are alloplastic devices which
are surgically inserted into or onto jaw bone.
Anchorage source:
Orthopedic anchorage:
- maxillary expansion
- headgear like effects
Dental anchorage:
- space closure
- intrusion ( anterior and posterior)
- distalization
IMPLANTS :
Implant designs for orthodontic usage:
- onplant
- mini-implant
- impacted titanium post
- skeletal anchorage system
IMPLANTS :
Why implants?
Limitations of fixed orthodontic therapy:
Headgear compliance and safety
Reactive forces from dental anchors

IMPLANTS:

- Smalley (1988)
- insertion of titanium
implants into maxilla,

with 5-7mm increase in overjet
IMPLANTS:
Implants for skeletal expansion:
-Guyman (1980) intentionally ankylosed
maxillary permanent lateral incisors of
monkeys
No movement of
laterals during expansion

IMPLANTS:
