Abstract:

Periodontal ligament is a thin layer of soft tissue that connects root of a tooth to the surrounding alveolar bone. These ligaments play an important role in initiating tooth movement when loads are applied to teeth with orthodontic appliances. The majority of such soft tissues exhibit as viscoelastic bodies or have a time-dependent behavior. Due to the viscoelastic behavior of the periodontal ligaments, the mechanical properties are strongly affected by the loading history. Poisson’s ratios for the viscoelastic materials are time-dependent (in time domain) or complex frequency-dependent (in frequency domain) quantities. Moreover, three-dimensional stress fields depend on these Poisson’s ratios. The main objective of this work was to develop a mathematical approach capable of determining the time-dependent Poisson’s ratios of the periodontal ligaments based on experimental data of stress relaxation and creep tests. The resulting stress relaxation and creep curves are described by a three-parameter viscoelastic models. The time-dependent Poisson’s ratios of the periodontal ligaments have been obtained as increasing functions of time, because shear modulus of these ligaments relaxes much more than their bulk modulus.

An algebraic calculation method for describing time-dependent processes in electrochemistry – Expansion of existing procedures

In this paper an alternative model allowing the extension of the Debye-Hückel Theory (DHT) considering time dependence explicitly is presented. From the Electro-Quasistatic approach (EQS) introduced in earlier studies time dependent potentials are suitable to describe several phenomena especially conducting media as well as the behaviour of charged particles (ions) in electrolytes. This leads t...

A Nano-indentation Identification Technique for Viscoelastic Constitutive Characteristics of Periodontal Ligaments

Introduction: Nano-indentation has recently been employed as a powerful tool for determining the mechanical properties of biological tissues on nano and micro scales. A majority of soft biological tissues such as ligaments and tendons exhibit viscoelastic or time-dependent behaviors. The constitutive characterization of soft tissues is among very important subjects in clinical medicine and espe...

Material properties of periodontal ligaments.

The mechanism of orthodontic teeth movement is not entirely explained. The principal reaction on tissues at the cellular and molecular level is initiated by the force applied to the tooth crown and transferred in turn upon the periodontal ligament (PDL). It seems, therefore, that the PDL and particularly its properties play a key role in bone remodelling. One of the more commonly used methods, ...
