Bartkus was indeed espousing an extreme ideology. But it belongs to a larger intellectual movement, still fringe for now, that is slowly gaining adherents. My colleagues Jill Cowan, Aric Toler ...

Periodontal Ligament (PDL): A fibrous tissue that connects the tooth to the bone, absorbing shock and allowing minor movements. Gingival Tissue: The gums that protect the underlying bone and ligaments ...

The primary objectives of orthodontic therapy in these cases are to facilitate effective tooth movement while minimizing any biological ... is continuous with the surrounding periodontal ligament (PDL ...

A FE model was then created in Ansys 14.5. The tooth, PDL, and bone were meshed with 10-node hexahedral ... respectively. Different tooth movement patterns, including translation, rotation, ...

Tooth movement distance and the number of osteoclasts were higher ... and DMP1 plays a critical role in the regenerative process of the root surface and PDL space due to the MOP procedure. All animal ...

Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is a process depending on the remodeling of periodontal tissues surrounding the roots. Orthodontic forces trigger the conversion of mechanical stimuli into ...

Human teeth have a mesial drift, whereas rodent teeth show a distal movement. Based on our findings, we suggest that the PDL has an internal force for tooth movement directed by the fibrous component, ...
