The position of the centre of resistance (Cre) as well as the centre of rotation (Cro) of a tooth under a force-system is still an open question. This paper presents a reliable and efficient three-dimensional rigid-body finite element technique to accurately estimate these centres. The influence of not only the root length but also the root diameter, the thickness of the periodontal ligament, as well as its material properties on the position of the Cre and Cro is investigated. Additionally, an explanation is given for the meaning of the coefficient (0.068 h(2) ) involved in Burstone's theoretical formula which is generalised and is expressed as the ratio of the flexibilities of tooth support in translation and pure moment rotation, respectively. The former ratio determines the position of the centres of rotation as a function of the applied moment-to-force ratio (M/F) and the relevant curve remains an isosceles hyperbola for any arbitrary-shaped tooth. The present study focuses on single-rooted teeth, such as maxillary canines and maxillary incisors, but the proposed methodology is generally applicable to any tooth.
