✦ Synopsis
Thlir work outlines the theoy underlying tissue d$ormation in response to an applied firce and presents a model to evaluate relative contributions to tissue generation f+om mechanical and biological creep. Using in vivo pressure measurement, this model has been tested with clinical data generated from a heterogeneous series of 70 patients u&ergo@ t&sue expansion. Preliminary results indicate that the moo!elproposed is able to fit accurately both in vitro and in vivo data. Extrapolation of the model, in time, may lead to a prediction of the relative contributions of Biological' and 'mechanical' creep.
