Abstract

Periodontal ligament (PDL) is a soft fibrous tissuewhich is located between tooth and alveolar bone. Because the tissue is softer than the surrounding tissue, tooth movement is forced to follow the movement of the soft tissue. The goal of this study is comparison of periodentium related to single and two root teeth behavior with applying different loads. The modeling of the real 3D geometry of incisor and premolar periodentium is carried out using micro CT scan. PDL is considered as hyperelastic material and stress-strain distribution was investigated by applying different loads. The results of finite element simulation show that tooth displacement with different loading is not necessarily in direction of loading and also stress distribution show that PDL absorbs the stresses, consequently alveolar carry less stresses. Strain distribution in PDL and alveolar bone stress represents uniform distribution of force in two root tooth. The analogy of results shows the accommodation with pervious studies.
