Maintaining the pulp vitality during the orthodontic treatment phase is an important aim during the treatment of periodontal disease. It was hypothesized that due to periodontal resorption the same amount of force determines an increase of maximum stress in the dental pulp, which might affect its vitality. The objective was to quantify stress produced in the dental pulp at 10 different bone levels under transverse and vertical orthodontic loadings, for the special case of a two roots second mandibular premolar. The alveolar bone and PDL has been reduced in height by 10%, from 0% to 90%, and subjected to 6 constant loadings of 1-10 N/mm2. The von Mises stress values for the dental pulp were calculated. For 0% bone loss, a 1 N/mm2 intrusive load produced a maximum stress of 5.4E-05N/mm2. When resorption reached 50% the stress value was of 14.3E-05N/mm2 while for the 90% level the stress was 53.5E-05N/mm2. After 30% periodontal resorption (5.7 mm) the stress significantly increase and is assumed to be the starting point for dramatic changes in stress level. The mesialdistal loadings produced the highest stress values in the vital dental pulp for the 80% bone loss. The periodontal resorption determined a steady increase in the equivalent stress. Results lead to the conclusion that application of higher forces will determine higher stresses in the root apical third, which might affect the vitality of the pulp during the orthodontic treatment phase, and could worsen the periodontal problems.

Conservation of the PDL(periodontal ligament) height during the orthodontic treatment phase is an important aim during the treatment of periodontal disease. It was hypothesized that due to periodontal resorption, the same amount of force determines an increase of maximum stress in the PDL, which might affect its dimensions. The objective was to quantify stress produced in the PDL at 10 different bone levels under transverse and vertical orthodontic loadings, for the special case of a two roots second mandibular premolar. The alveolar bone and PDL has been reduced in height by 10%, from 0% to 90%, and subjected to 6 constant loadings of 1-10 N/mm2. The von Mises stress values for the PDL were calculated. For 0% bone loss, a 1 N/mm2 intrusive load produced a maximum stress of 0.08 N/mm2. For 50% resorption the stress was 0.41N/mm2 while for the 90% level the stress was 2.96 N/mm2. For the 0-80% resorption the mesio-distal load produced the highest stress values. The stress gradually increased along with the PDL and bone height loss, but declined steadily from the cervical to the apical level. Approximately 5.7mm (30%) resorption is assumed to be the starting point for dramatic changes in stress level. Results lead to the conclusion that application of higher forces will determine higher stresses in the cervical level which might affect the height of the PDL during the orthodontic treatment phase, and could worsen the periodontal problems.
