Abstract

This study details a method to calculate strains within interradicular alveolar bone using digital volume correlation on X-ray tomograms of intact bone-periodontal ligament-tooth fibrous joints. The effects of loading schemes (concentric and eccentric) and optical magnification on the resulting strain in alveolar bone will be investigated with an intent to correlate deformation gradients with data sets from other complementary techniques. Strain maps will be correlated with structural and site-specific mechanical properties obtained on the same specimen using atomic force microscopy and atomic force microscopy-based nanoindentation technique. Specimens include polydimethylsiloxane as a standard material and intact hemi-mandibles harvested from rats. X-ray tomograms were taken at no-load and loaded conditions using an in situ load cell coupled to a micro X-ray computed tomography unit. Digital volume correlation was used to calculate deformations within alveolar bone. Comparison of strain maps was made as a result of different loading schemes (concentric vs eccentric) and at different magnifications (4× vs 10×). Virtual sections and strain maps from digital volume correlation solutions were aligned with structure and reduced elastic modulus to correlate datasets of the same region within a specimen. Strain distribution between concentrically and eccentrically loaded complexes was different but illustrated a similar range. Strain maps of homogeneous materials (polydimethylsiloxane) resulting from digital volume correlation at different magnifications were similar. However, strain maps of heterogeneous materials at lower and higher magnification differed. The digital volume correlation technique illustrated a dependence on optical magnification specifically for heterogeneous materials such as bone. The results at a higher optical magnification highlight the potential for extracting deformation at higher resolutions. Correlation of data spaces from different complementary techniques is plausible and could provide insights into biological and physicochemical processes that lead to functional adaptation of tissues and joints.
