Figure 4. Representative force vs. time tracings.

Figure 4

Tracings for UnP, TraP and ImP tissues are shown with their best-fit viscoelastic functions of the form F(t)=(a+rt)/(b+t), where F = force, and t = time. UnP and ImP tissues conformed almost perfectly, while the TraP tissues were of poorer fit.

UnP, unprepared tissue; TraP, traditional preparation; ImP, improved preparation
