Tooth displacement was analysed on human autopsy material for various types of orthodontic force systems using an electronic strain gauge technique. Tooth movements were registered in two dimensions with low force clip gauges on three sections of the mandible, containing the first premolar and the first molar. The sensitivity was 0.1 microns when horizontal forces of 50, 100, and 150 cN were applied at different horizontal levels producing different M/F ratios. The relationship between a force system and the resulting tooth movement was described by the position of the centre of rotation, CR, and the angle of rotation. The centre of resistance was determined for the three autopsy specimens, and depended on tooth geometry, root length, and level of bony margin. Important differences in location were found. The dynamics of initial tooth movement were analysed within the first minute of load application. Force/displacement curves were generated to evaluate the behaviour of the periodontal ligament. There was a linear correlation between the two variables. Freezing the autopsy material some days before testing had no detectable effect. The results from measurements on human autopsy material were compared with previously derived in vivo measurements.
