- Furthering our understanding of the functional relationship between orthodontic loading and alveolar bone remodelling is important in the investigation of dental diseases, and the design and evaluation of dental implants. Computational modelling provides a non-invasive method of analysing this relationship, but past modelling has simplified the orthodontic load transfer by representing the periodontal ligament as a solid soft tissue layer or neglects to include it at all. This BBSRC/EU funded study created a computational model of the human jaw and discovered that inclusion of the periodontal ligament fibres increases bone strains, thus highlighting their importance in modelling of the jaw.
