Figure 1. In situ loading device coupled to a XRM system to image tooth motion relative to the alveolar socket.

Figure 1

a) Hemimandibles were prepared with composite buildups for mechanical testing and were placed in the load cell as shown. b) To ensure a parallel surface between the anvil and the composite buildup, occlusal marking paper was used (not shown) to mark uniform area of contact. c) The output of load displacement curve was analyzed by comparing the change in load (Δ Load) vs. the change in displacement (Δ Disp). d) 2D virtual section relating tooth to the alveolar socket. Please note that 1d is a GIF file and should be viewed under slide show.
