Modeling viscoelastic behavior of periodontal ligament with nonlinear finite element analysis
Background/purpose: The function and role of periodontal ligament (PDL) are of interest in a number of fields. Due to the complexity of the geometry and the impossibility of obtaining specimens, the mechanical properties of PDL remain uncertain. The object of this study was to investigate the viscoe...
