[Orthodontic movement through compact bone and spongious bone. The difference in tissue reaction with 2 different forces].

The objective of this study, was to study the contribution of the osseous density factor at the orthodontic movement. For this purpose we compared the histophysiological responses frontally to the roots of the mandibular first molar (at the experimental Wistar rat) according to the direction of displacement (mesio-lingual region). In fact, frontally to the mesial and lingual roots (at the mesio-lingual region) there is compact bony tissue in contrary at the vestibular and distal roots the density is less and there is spongiose osseous tissue. We found the following: the region of pressure is subjected to compression and hyalinisation periodontally from the first day, even with the "ideal" force; the extent of compression and hyalinisation periodontally, reaches the maximum approximately after two days; the extent of compression and hyalinisation periodontally is greater frontally to spongiose osseous tissue and even more greater with a heavy force; the immediate displacement of a tooth is greater frontally to spongiose bone and even more greater with a heavy force; there is bony resorption of the internal alveolarwall adjacent to the hyaline zone, resorption (direct laterally or peripherically) frontally to the compact and to the spongiose osseous tissue; the direct lateral resorption: is slower for the compact bone; frontally to the spongiose bone the lateral direct resorption is associated to an indirect resorption at the endoostic side; the real displacement of a tooth is less rapid in compact bone because the lateral direct resorption is slower and also because of the absence of indirect endoostic resorption; at the time of the real dental displacement, the periodontal space has reestablished; on regard of the spongiose bone, the periodontal space not only reestablishes, but also increases during the real dental displacement; at the level of the periosteum, we can observe a compensatory osseous apposition to the direct lateral bony resorption, only with light forces, on the contrary with heavy forces there is periostic resorption and the tooth movement occurs within the bone (especially frontal to a compact bone); the threshold for stimulating the osteoclasts is lower than the ideal force frontal to the compact bone. On the contrary, frontal to the spongiose bone, the threshold for stimulating the osteoclasts, is situated higher to the ideal force.

[Orthodontic intrusion].

In this review the writers refer to the contemporary reports related to the intrusion, the clinical observations and the tissue reactions after the application of different orthodontic forces, the indications and contraindications as well as the fixed and removable appliances used for its accomplishment. Finally, they refer to the possible factors which cause the relapse of the intruded teeth.

[Diagnosis of the maxillary dentoskeletal discrepancies in the transverse plane of space].

The dentoskeletal discrepancies of the craniofacial complex in the transverse dimension which usually appear in combination with similar discrepancies in the antero-posterior and the vertical dimension or more ravely by themselves, are of the highest interest for the clinical orthodontist and increase the complexity of the diagnostic procedure in these cases. In this study emphasis in given in diagnostic evaluation of the cases with transverse maxillary discrepancies. Diagnostic criteria which must be taken under consideration both during clinical examination and during orthodontic model study are described and the most important cephalometric methods which can help the diagnosis in these cases are referred.

[The ideal forces for canine retraction].

In this study we analyze the factors, which are able to determine the ideal forces for teeth movement and especially canine retraction. These factors are the following: 1. Way of movement. 2. Anatomical situation. 3. Biological situation. 4. Personal factors. 5. Duration of movement. 6. The force control. The analysis of the factors mentioned, proves that there is a variety of "ideal forces" for canine distal movement. Thus, the "ideal forces" differ, depending on: Whether the movement is bodily or tipping. Whether it is applied on cortical or spongy bone. Whether it is applied at early or elder ages. The length of the root. Whether the canine is drawn with or without friction. The orthodontist can approach the "ideal force", considering all the factors mentioned, thus, avoiding experimentation and their following complications.
