| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of orthodontic treatment is to correct dental malocclusion, which involved periodontal tissue
remodeling process. Removable orthodontic appliance application was resulted a tipping tooth movement.
Therefore, this research will develop a new orthodontic appliance design which is expected to generate closely to
bodily tooth movement. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incisor tooth movement using a new orthodontic
appliance design with different mechanical force applications. 28 Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups, a control
group without orthodontic appliances (K), experimental group with 10 grams force (grf) of orthodontic appliances
(P1), 20 grf (P2), and 30 grf (P3). Incisor distance measurement and roentgenogram evaluation were performed after
seven days of orthodontic appliances application. The results of this study showed that the largest distance of incisor
seen in P3 group and there is not a statistically significant difference between P1 and P2. Roentgenogram evaluation
shows that all of orthodontic appliance force produced a bodily tooth movement. | en_US |
