    Area of Science:

    • Orthodontics and Dental Biomechanics
    • Finite Element Analysis in Dentistry

    Background:

    • Understanding tooth movement mechanics is crucial for effective orthodontic treatment.
    • The instantaneous center of rotation (ICR) is a key parameter in analyzing tooth kinematics.
    • Finite Element Method (FEM) offers a powerful tool for simulating complex biological structures like the periodontium.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the position of the instantaneous center of rotation (ICR) of a maxillary central incisor.
    • To investigate the influence of periodontal ligament (PDL) elastic properties on ICR.
    • To analyze the effect of loading conditions on ICR position.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the Finite Element Method (FEM) to model a maxillary central incisor and its surrounding periodontal ligament.
    • Calculated the ICR under various simulated loading conditions and PDL elastic properties (Poisson's ratio).

    Main Results:

    • The ICR position was found to be insensitive to the elastic properties of the PDL within a Poisson's ratio range of 0-0.45.
    • ICR position was independent of the applied load magnitude.
    • ICR position demonstrated dependency on the point of force application, shifting coronally as the loading point moved occlusally from the cervical margin.

    Conclusions:

    • The elastic properties of the PDL have a negligible effect on the ICR of a maxillary central incisor within typical physiological ranges.
    • The point of force application is a critical factor influencing tooth rotation during orthodontic movement.
    • Findings suggest a potential inverse linear relationship between ICR and the rate of tooth retraction, warranting further clinical investigation.
