Abstract:
The biomechanics of space closure in adult patients with loss of periodontal attachment is described. In order to achieve an even force distribution in the periodontium, force was reduced and the moment to force relationship was increased. beta-TMA-T Loops of 0.016 inch x 0.022 inch and 0.017 inch x 0.025 inch cross sections were investigated. With an automatic testing device force and moment values were determined.
