Hydro-mechanical coupling in the periodontal ligament: A porohyperelastic finite element model
Matteo Galli, Joël Cugnoni, Marzio Bergomi
Harmonic tension–compression tests at 0.1, 0.5 and 1 Hz on hydrated bovine periodontal ligament (PDL) were numerically simulated. The process was modeled by finite elements (FE) within the framework of poromechanics, with the objective of isolating the con ...
Elsevier2011Load Response of Periodontal Ligament: Assessment of Fluid Flow, Compressibility, and Effect of Pore Pressure
John Botsis, Marzio Bergomi, Aïssa Mellal
The periodontal ligament (PDL) functions both in tension and in compression. The presence of an extensive vascular network inside the tissue suggests a significant contribution of the fluid phase to the mechanical response. This study examined the load res ...
2010The role of the fluid phase in the viscous response of bovine periodontal ligament
John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Marzio Bergomi
The mechanical response of the periodontal ligament (PDL) is complex. This tissue responds as a hyperelastic solid when pulled in tension while demonstrating a viscous behavior under compression. This intricacy is reflected in the tissue's morphology, whic ...
2010Three-dimensional morphometry of strained bovine periodontal ligament using synchrotron radiation-based tomography
John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Marzio Bergomi, Marco Stampanoni, Philipp Schneider
The periodontal ligament (PDL) is a highly vascularized soft connective tissue. Previous studies suggest that the viscous component of the mechanical response may be explained by the deformation-induced collapse and expansion of internal voids (i.e. chiefl ...
2010Mechanical response of periodontal ligament: Effects of specimen geometry, preconditioning cycles and time lapse
This study was conducted as part of research line addressing the mechanical response of periodontal ligament (PDL) to tensile-compressive sinusoidal loading The aim of the present project was to determine the effect of three potential sources of variabilit ...
