“…It is essential to model the mechanical behaviour of the entire tooth-PDL-bone complex, considering the tooth and its surrounding tissues. 29 The presence of the PDL makes the load transfer from the tooth to the alveolar bone very different from the rest of the skeleton. 28 PDL mechanosensory cells convert mechanical force into intracellular signals, producing various cytokines that modulate orthodontic tooth movement and activate the OIIRR process.…”

“…The PDL properties have been highly explored, linking the local biological response to the mechanical stimulus. 29 However, a consensus on the PDL constitutive law that should be used in orthodontic FE models is still lacking. In the present study, a hyperelastic model was used, representing the nonlinear elastic behaviour of the PDL, simulating the different responses between tension and compression due to the presence of the collagen fibres.…”

Introduction The intrusion of posterior teeth had been considered challenging up to the development of orthodontic mini implants. In periodontally compromised teeth, the challenge is even greater, because of the root resorption risk due to periodontal ligament over‐compression. Still, the precise strategy to determine the force reduction level remains uncertain. Objective The objective of the study was to determine, by a finite element analysis (FEA), the force reduction needed to avoid root resorption and maintain the efficiency of orthodontic mechanics of periodontally compromised teeth similar to the sound one. Methods An anatomical model was constructed representing a premolar inserted into a maxillary bone. Based on the initial model (R0), three bone height loss conditions were simulated (R2 = 2 mm, R4 = 4 mm, and R6 = 6 mm). Two intrusive movements were simulated: pure intrusion (bilateral mini implant) and uncontrolled‐tipping intrusion (buccal mini implant). The hydrostatic stress at the periodontal ligament was used to evaluate the risk of root resorption due to over‐compression. Results For bilateral mini implant intrusion, the force had to be decreased by 16%, 32% and 48% for R2, R4 and R6, respectively. For buccal mini implant intrusion, the required reductions were higher (20%, 36% and 56%). A linear relationship between the intrusive force reduction and the alveolar bone height loss was observed in both intrusion mechanics. Conclusions According to the FE results, 8% or 9.3% of force reduction for each millimetre of bone height loss is suggested for intrusion with bilateral or buccal mini implant, respectively. The buccal mini implant anchorage must be associated with a supplemental strategy to avoid buccal crown tipping.

“…It is necessary to define the constitutive model of PDL in the FE software and predict its mechanical response by the FE method. Constructing PDL constitutive models is necessary to improve our understanding of the potential theoretical, biological, physiological, and clinical responses of PDL to orthodontic forces [6]. The improved PDL model should provide a better understanding of the actual phenomenon.…”

The scientific basis of orthodontics is physics and Newtonian mechanics applied to the tooth-periodontal ligament-bone biologic system. The mechanical response of the periodontal ligament (PDL) to forces has a significant impact on bone remodelling and tooth movement. At the early stages, orthodontists mainly evaluated the PDL mechanical properties by in vitro experiments, which guided the use of forces in the orthodontic process. With the development of computers, finite element (FE) methods were increasingly used in the study of orthodontics. The phenomena and results of PDL mechanical tests are abstracted into constitutive equations. The identified constitutive equations are then implemented in finite element software. The finite element method could be used to simulate in vitro and in vivo experiments and predict the response of PDL under various complex working conditions. A visco-hyperelastic constitutive model is proposed and implemented in finite element technique based on prior static mechanical experiments of human PDL. Some complex experimental conditions are simulated to discuss the properties of the constitutive model.

“…As a result, determining the PDL tissue's material qualities and behaviour is critical and a hotly debated topic. Identifying the qualities of the PDL can aid in the diagnosis of periodontal disease, the evaluation of PDL health following damage, and the consideration of orthodontic tooth movement [2].…”

This paper investigated the mathematical modelling and simulation of periodontal ligament using COMSOL Multiphysics. The behaviour of the periodontal ligament is studied. The periodontal ligament is sandwiched between two approached parallel rigid impervious plates. The governing equations and the specified boundary conditions are introduced to describe a rectangular domain. The approximate analytical solution of the problem is verified numerically by using COMSOL Multiphysics that is based on the finite element method. A 3D realistic geometry is constructed using scans of human teeth. A detailed analysis of the stress and displacement induced by a force is obtained.
