ABSTRACT
Introduction. FEM is a reliable tool for researching the impact of orthodontic therapy on the affected
periodontal tissues. Material and methods. Using Catia V5R16 and Abaqus software we analysed various
clinical scenarios for intruding the lateral mandibular incisor in different situations of horizontal bone loss
(HBL). Results and Discussions. When intruding the lateral mandibular incisors we noticed that the equivalent
tensions are increasing together with the extent of HBL and the magnitude of the applied force. Conclusions.
When optimal intrusive forces are applied at the level of the mandibular lateral incisor, the periodontal status of
the patient will not represent a restriction for the interdisciplinary treatment.
Keywords: finite elements method, periodontal disease, mandibular lateral incisor, intrusion
Introduction
Orthodontic treatment applied on
patients with periodontal disease can bring
significant benefits to the patients in terms of
periodontal rehabilitation, but at the same
time it involves a number of precautions.
The patient with periodontal pathology who
calls on the specialist in order to obtain
orthodontic treatment usually faces major
aesthetic and, in particular, functional
problems.
Adult patients that require
interdisciplinary treatment pose a number of
special bioethical implications that require a
holistic handling of the case, aiming for a
complex oral rehabilitation. [1-4]
A gain in attachment to the
periodontium, such as the improvement of
implantation is an important aim for
clinicians, bearing in mind that subsequent
implant treatment solutions may be affected
by inflammation around the implant.[5]
Material and methods
Using Catia V5R16 we created a
mathematical model of the mandibular arch
and of a mandibular lateral incisor based on
a Nissin didactic model and on the data from
the literature regarding the standard
anatomical dimensions of the involved
structures.
We designed three clinical scenarios: one
with no horizontal bone loss (HBL), one
with 33% HBL and another one with 66%
HBL. The analysis of the simulations was
performed using the attached Abaqus
software.
The models were tested using optimal (0,25
N) and supraoptimal (1N, 3N, 5N) forces in
order to comparatively assess the equivalent

tension (σ ech), the tension on the direction
of the intrusive force (σ c) and the tooth
movement (f).

The σ ech values show a linear growth,
depending on the force applied wherever the
periodontium is not affected and where it is
affected up to 33%. In the cases in which the
periodontium is affected up to 33%, the σ
ech values do not show significant
differences compared to those seen in the
cases in which the periodontium of the lower
lateral incisor is not affected.
Wherever the periodontium is
affected up to 66%, the increase of σ ech
shows an exponential evolution, with
significant higher σ ech values than those
found in the cases in which the periodontium
was unaffected or affected up to 33% . (Fig.

The values that were most affected by the
magnitude of the applied intrusive forces
were those of the tension registered in the
direction the force was applied (σ c –
r=0.79), followed by the values of the
equivalent tensions in the tooth-periodontal
ligament-alveolar bone complex (σ ech –
r=0.78) and lastly by the values of the
registered movements (f – r=0.73). (Fig. 10)

During the intrusion of the lower lateral
incisors we have found that the equivalent
tensions increase together with the increase
in the extent to which the periodontium is
affected and together with the increase in
magnitude of the applied force. Previous
studies on maxillary central incisors, carried
out using similar methods, have yielded
slightly different aspects. [6]
In the cases in which the periodontium
was affected up to 33%, the values of σ ech
did not show significant differences
compared to those present in the case of
unaffected periodontium.
In the lower frontal group, the tension
values in the direction the force is applied, σ
c, show an exponential increase depending
on the applied force whether the
periodontium is affected or not, a similar
situation with the numerical simulation of
molar uprighting. [7]
Dental movement through intrusion
increases exponentially together with the
increase in magnitude of the applied forces,
but also with the increase of the extent of
periodontal trouble (horizontal bone loss),
even becoming double when the tooth is
affected up to 66% compared to 33%.
Dental intrusion is a means for
improving implantation and for gaining
attachment, but bacterial plaque must be
under strict control. This is highlighted in
literature in numerous studies on identifying
bacteria through molecular biology
techniques. [8-11] It appears that antioxidant
markers, CRP and cytokines in the saliva can
be very useful instruments in predicting
periodontal disease during orthodontic
treatment in a clinical setting. [12-20]
The magnitude of the intrusive forces
applied to the lower frontal group influences
firstly the values of the equivalent tensions,
then those of the tensions in the direction the
force is applied, and lastly the movement of
the lower central incisor; on the other hand,
it influences firstly the values of the tensions
in the direction the force is applied, then
those of equivalent tensions, and lastly the
movement of the lower lateral incisor[21-
26].
Conclusions
Our study pointed out that the intrusion of
the mandibular lateral incisor associated with
moderate bone loss can be an optimal
solution for improving the implantation and
for regaining the periodontal attachment.
When optimal intrusive forces are applied at
the level of mandibular lateral incisor, the
periodontal status of the patient will not
represent a restriction for the
interdisciplinary treatment.
It appears that the precise control of the
magnitude of the force is the key element in
order to avoid periodontal hazards at the
level of the lateral mandibular incisor.
