J025022 A Study of Orthodontics Simulation Based on Periodontal Membrane Stress

Abstract

In orthodontics medical treatment the diagnostic system which simulates movement of the tooth by orthodontic force is required in order to perform orthodontics medical treatment more easily for a short period of time. In this research, teeth finite element model in consideration of the mechanical property of the periodontal membrane was developed and the simulation procedure of the bone resorption which occurve in an alveolar bone was proposed. As a result, it was ensured that teeth finite element model considering the characteristic of the periodontal membrane was effective. By using a bone resorption simulation procedure, the possibility of representation of the bone resorption in an alveolar bone was sugested.
