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.
