Inclusion of periodontal ligament fibres in mandibular finite element models leads to an increase in alveolar bone strains

Alveolar bone remodelling is vital for the success of dental implants and orthodontic treatments. However, the underlying biomechanical mechanisms, in particular the function of the periodontal ligament (PDL) in bone loading and remodelling, are not well understood. The PDL is a soft fibrous connect...
