Abstract:Objective: To evaluate Stage III of the Begg technique using finite element method and to locate the center of rotation (Crot) during torquing and uprighting of the central incisor.
Materials and methods:The maxillary central incisor was subjected to a finite element study. Movement of the tooth along the z-axis (labiolingual) and X-axis (mesiodistal) was noted. The Crot was located by finding the nodes which had zero displacement during the torquing and uprighting maneuvers. The location of Crot was also conf… Show more
