Table 3. Relative percentage values for compression considering volume (Rel. % of Volume) and Biological Response Units (Rel. %BRU) during application of incisive or molar bite force in pooled incisors and premolars.
The Relative Percentage of Volume or BRU for Compression in Pooled Canines and Premolars | ||||
Coronal Soft Tissue Follicle | Apical Soft Tissue Follicle | |||
Incisive Bite Force | Right Molar Bite Force | Incisive Bite Force | Right Molar Bite Force | |
Rel. % Volume | 68.8 | 62.3 | 40.1 | 44.9 |
Rel. % BRU | 80.9 | 58.3 | 25.2 | 40.1 |
Compression in coronal tissues and tension in apical tissues predominated considering both volume and BRU separately, in both bite force conditions studied.
