Resumo
A fotoelasticidade é um fenômeno ótico muito utilizado em pesquisas da engenharia e da mecânica. Este método avalia áreas submetidas à forças provenientes de sistemas mecânicos complexos e transforma luz comum polarizadas em padrões de luz isoclínicas e isocromáticas denominados franjas fotoelásticas. A fotoelasticidade foi utilizada pela primeira vez em pesquisa odontológica por Zak, em 1935, quando ele aplicava forças ortodônticas de diferentes pontos de aplicação e observava o sistema de força gerado por esse sistema. Esse fenômeno pode ser observado através do polariscópio e os testes são realizados em modelos fotoelásticos construídos a partir da resina epóxi. Baseado nisso, esta pesquisa avaliou o sistema de força gerado pela mola T de retração ortodôntica para fechamento de espaço, confeccionada com fio de titânio-molibdênio de secção transversal 0,017X 0,025, com três tipos de pré-ativação, sendo a primeira definida por Burstone, a segunda por Marcotte e a terceira, por Souza. A distância interbráquete utilizada foi de 27,0mm e a mola T foi posicionada, centralizada no espaço interbráquete e a avaliação do sistema de força foi analisado tanto para o lado da retração quanto para o lado de ancoragem. Cada mola era ativada em posição neutra, ativação média e ativação máxima. Para o registro dos testes utilizou-se uma máquina digital e após a obtenção dos registros as imagens foram impressas, interpretadas qualitativamente e expressa em gráficos. O sistema de força desenvolvido entre as três pré-ativações mostrou-se com maior concentração de energia para a Mola T com pré-ativação de Souza, seguindo por marcotte e por último, Burstone. Concluiu-se o sistema de força liberado pela Mola T retração, apresentou um sistema de força simétrico entre o segmento de ancoragem e o segmento ativo.
Photo elasticity is an optical phenomenon used quite a lot in engineering and mechanical research. This method evaluates areas submitted to forces created by complex mechanical systems and transforms ordinary polarized light into patterns of isoclinic and isocromatic light known as photo elastic fringes. Photo elasticity was used for the first time in orthodontic research by Zak, in 1935, when he applied orthodontic forces from different application points and observed the force systems generated by this system. This phenomenon can be observed through the polariscope and the tests are carried out on photo elastic models made from epoxy resin. Based on this, this research evaluated the force system generated by a orthodontic T spring retractor for the closure of spaces, made with a titanium-molybdenum wire with a transversal section of 0,017 X 0,025, with three types of pre-activation, the first having been defined by Burnstone, the second by Marcotte and the third by Souza. The inter-bracket distance used was of 27, 0 mm. and the T spring was placed, centralized in the inter-bracket space and the evaluation of the force system was analyzed both at the retraction point and at the anchorage point. Each spring was activated in a neutral position, medium activation and maximum activation. A digital camera was used to register the tests and, after obtaining the records, the images were printed, qualitatively interpreted and expressed graphically. The force system developed among the three pre-activation types showed a greater energy concentration with the Souza pre-activation type, followed by the Marcotte type and lastly by the Burnstone type. It was concluded that the force system liberated by the T spring retractor presented a symmetrical force system between the anchorage segment and the active segment.
