Figure 6

Strain energy density occurring in the PDL during power stroke. A load of 1250N was applied at an angle of 45° to a plane through the alveolar crest. Diagram shows FE results for the three different age-groups (A-C) on both the shifting side (1) and side where shifting side is averted pushing-averted side (2). Dimension of SED increases with increasing tooth age (to this please note the different age-related scales).
