摘要
In vivo measurement of the mobility of teeth under physiological loading has been subject of research for years. Comparing the deflection under load of dental implants with teeth provides valuable input for designing restorations spanning both teeth and implants. Physiological force rise time of about 50-100 ms and displacement of 10-100 mu m requires high spatial and temporal resolution of the measurement setup. Using an optical system attached to the teeth/implants to be measured and a light source attached to a point of reference, displacement of teeth and implants under axial and lateral loading was measured on a series of volunteers. Axial displacement of teeth shows strong time dependence consistent with (hydraulic) damping not observed for lateral loads. Displacement under lateral loading was found to be about one order of magnitude higher than under axial load. For dental implants elastic deflection was observed in axial and lateral direction without measurable influence of the load rise time. For purely axial loading, dental implants and teeth show similar deflection under physiological force rise time but for lateral loading the considerably difference between teeth and implant may put some restrictions on the construction of tooth-implant-bridges, especially for teeth in the anterior region.
