- Abstract
Introduction: Force is applied through brackets in fixed mechanotherapy which generates stress in periodontal ligament and root of the teeth and is difficult to measure directly. Finite element analysis is used as a solution for understanding this biomechanical response. So the aims and objectives of this study were to evaluate the stress magnitude induced in the labial and lingual surface of mandibular incisors using superelastic NiTi arch wires of different cross-section at different inclination through finite element analysis. Materials and Methods: Finite element model of all mandibular teeth including periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, buccal tubes, brackets, and arch wire were constructed using mechanical elastic properties of the materials. Three different NiTi arch wires, round (0.016"), square (0.016" × 0.016"), and rectangular (0.016" × 0.022"), were placed into the bracket slots and models were constructed which were analyzed for stress distribution on root surface and periodontal ligament with 3 different cross-sections at 90°, 100°, and 110° with Ansys Version 14 software. Conclusion: Labial stress was found highest in round arch wire as compared to square and rectangular wire. Lingual stress was found to be slightly more in rectangular wire as compared to round and square arch wire.
