A novel method for simulating ex vivo tooth extractions under varying applied loads

The developed experimental method demonstrated a desirable degree of control. The preliminary results suggest the influence of load rate on the mechanical response of the dental complex and extraction outcome. Future work will further investigate the biomechanics of tooth extraction and relate them to tissue damage to improve future tooth extraction procedures.
