Abstract

Finite element analysis, an engineering method for analysing stress and strain has created a niche in the field of orthodontics because of its ability to deliver detailed and precise information regarding stress on load application. It divides the object of study into a finite number of elements and the connected by a meshwork and equations are developed for each elements thereby making each element an individual object of study. Several studies have been conducted using the finite element method and there is a lot of scope for this experimental method to be used in future as well.

Abstract

In orthodontics, anchorage has been a matter of concern for many years. In addition, the greater number of mutilated cases, un co-operative patients have all added to the growing need for skeletal anchorage. Anchorage Devices brought about a revolutionary change to obtain absolute anchorage without patient compliance. Anchorage promises to serve as controllable and efficient anchors for any type of tooth movements the orthodontist would want to make The successful use of implants has widened the horizons in orthodontics and has gained much popularity in the recent years.
